Dies to Removal

Shrine of Loyal Legions has been bonkers for the small token generators.

Yes, I am enjoying the deck very much, just not seeing results yet. Practice, Practice, Practice.

Windborn Muse - Understand. Wanted to have multiple ways of shutting down a horde.
Aggressive Mining - It's not for me, but to donate to someone else.
Molten Influence - Completely misread the card. I thought it was a counter and it did 4. duh!
Omniscience - It was another way of getting stuff on the board. Without the Tutors was trying to give a backup plan.
Transcendence - Agree, but it is an automatic "you lose" card if I need it.
Venser's Journal - Understand, but not 100% committed to game plan of discard. Need to have a little more success before I'm all in.

I have to say I think I am not donating enough stuff. I don't seem to be drawing a lot of cards yet. Probably how I am playing right now.

I will take out Muse, Molten, Omni, and Trans. Put in twincast, reverberate, pentad prism, and
otherworld atlas.

I updated my list above with the current version I am running.

You know what I meant. The fetch lands and some of the older ones that do cool stuff.

Mystic Monastery is a must add for me. Probably remove Izzet Guildgate. I don't have your powerful manabase.

Finally got a chance to pilot this thing. I picked up a lot of missing key cards.

The first game I was positioned well with some early defenses and drawing an extra card. One of my opponents drops his Commander Jhoira of the Ghitu. I managed to Darksteel Mutation but a turn too late. Already had a few cards suspended. Board Wipe, cards in. Game.

Second game was totally mana screwed. My starting hand had 1 land and 2 signets, and a lot of my key 3 cmc enchantments for early board defense. Needless to say I didn't get a land for 15-20 turns. Opponents didn't let Jhoira control the table.

Overall, it was a less than impressive start but it was fun.

Any good cards in the Conspiracy set? Things to try and grab during this weekends release.

No. I feel the same way most of the time as well.

I figured I could use Eidolon of Rhetoric until I get my hands on a Rule of Law or Arcane Laboratory.

I am having an issue at my LGS with the "Death by Small Tokens" Win Condition. They are saying that a creature token does not enter the graveyard, therefore would not trigger Vicious Shadows. If you know of a link that disproves that, I would appreciate it.

Any thoughts about Pull from the Deep or Eidolon of Rhetoric?

Cutting Spellbook and putting in Banishing Light

Any thoughts about the new set?

No luck. I guess I have time to pick up more cards I need before I can play again.

I am finally going to get a chance to pilot this thing, or a version of it at least. I am still missing some key cards. (Greater Auramancy, Enchanted Evening, [card]Puca's Mischief[/card], Dovescape just to name a few that are in my price range.)

I see your point about Mystic Barrier. Last time I played, I had a agro quick builder to my left and a Oloro sit back and gain life guy on my right. So I guess then it would have been useful in that situation, but who says that is going to happen again.

With single digit instant and sorcery cards in our deck, is Charmbreaker Devils effect really random? I agree that he has to last a trip around the table to get cards back, but it gives us another chance to get one of our key cards back. Additionally,
with Venser and Spear of Heliod it would trigger Where Ancients Tread.

I forgot about Cyclonic Rift. I had it in an earlier version of the deck, but took it out.

Have you looked at Mystic Barrier, Charmbreaker Devils, or Wash Out?

If you had Angelic Accord, Spear of Heliod, and Where Ancients Tread all in play and you gain 4 life. Would the incoming Angel cause the damage?

Personally, I use Homeward Path for that reason. But I like the suggestion of Archmage Ascension. I don't get to play Commander near enough (Once a month, if that), so I am not the expert on this deck.

Have you thought about the Archetype of Courage, Archetype of Aggression,and Archetype of Imagination from BtG? More for taking away the traits than adding to your creatures. Also they are enchantments after Enduring Ideal is out.

Thanks. I already was using a few of those as replacements for ones that I didn't have.

Fair enough.

I'm still converting my deck from a single player kill, to a kill all at once deck. Still missing some of your key elements right now.

The only thing you need to have threshold is to have 7 cards in your graveyard. They don't have to be enchantments, just cards.

What about Cleansing Meditation? Assuming you still have Replenish or at least 7 cards in your grave. It is a little mean, but could be useful.
