OOPS, no oops

Flow State is a fair Magic card.

Are you still trying this strategy?
Black Belcher looks more appealing post-ban. You could even go harder on the combo plan in game 1, then board into beatdown.
I've been testing out a few...
Oops All Banned, those Thassas are going into Doomsday instead:

True, the extra MDFC untapped black lands made 4 Duress 4 Thoughtseize builds very consistent. Those builds gets wrecked by Leyline, but pivoting into Belcher is too easy. What if they banned the MH3...
Oops has a lower meta share than UB Tempo, UR Tempo, UWx control, or Show and Tell:

Congrats on the result!
Do you want something like Massacre or Toxic Deluge in the SB for Mardu/Boros aggro? Or do you just accept punting those matches?
Typical Pox removal won't get there...
Entomb was perfectly fine in the format for years, as long as there wasn't another enabler.
UB Reanimator was broken exactly when a second 1-mana enabler existed: either Mystical Tutor or Troll...
UB Xerox Reanimator was discovered immediately after the Entomb unban. It was a top deck until the Mystical Tutor ban. Mystical was mainly banned for Ad Nauseam, but UB Reanimator was the second...
Stiflenought is seeing less play in this fairer format while control decks are doing well. This build still made a recent Challenge Top 16:

I like the overall strategy.
Since you have only 16 permanent mana sources though, and 0 basics, I think the curve should be lower than typical monoblack aggro. Mana is a precious resource. More...
Phyrexian Furnace can be decent maindeckable Saga target in slow grindy control, like Parfait or Standstill.
It has a few useful modes for control:
- proactive chipping away at opponent's...
If that was from hand or library, it would see play.
Dragon's Rage Channeler, Surveil duals, Consider, etc.
As is it's too slow for the Hollow One/Madness decks or LED decks.
Containment Construct made the rare top8 in Riddlesmith (Killabee or other dedicated players)
However it is repeatable while Monument isn't. 3 mana is also infinitely more than 2 for these storm...
Riddlesmith might be the best use.
LED is also good: discard 2, +4 mana, draw card, cast card with that 4 mana. LED + Echo often fits with Riddlesmith.
Gamble gets some upside too. You draw...

It would affect some cards that see play:
Dauthi Voidwalker
Currency Converter
Yorion, Sky Nomad
Charming Prince
Flickerwisp
Chrome Mox
Opposition Agent
Oblivion Ring effects
Yeah maybe there isn't a viable use.
The ideal enabler has a 0-mana no-tap activated ability that exiles 1-3 cards. Repeatable & free. Unfortunately the list of permanents with that text is small:...
What's the target deck for this week? Is it dte's?
WU Draw 3 vs U Draw 2 or U Draw 2 + 2/2 flyer.
Draw 3 is good, but costing double and needing the 2nd color could be a lot for those decks. It might see play but it doesn't look busted.

Both of us forgot this is Vintage - with no banlist (Strip Mine). Mishra's Workshop was legal!
