Anyone know any redundant cards with Cyberdrive Awakener for the list? A 2nd Cyberdrive would be fantastic, I think.

II havee arrived to give my loving but also completely unasked for opinion lol

#

I should think so!

gaunt zinc
#

lol

#

it looks liek the moxfiield link is updated wiith cards so iill keep peeking at that

near kindle
#

I don't know if [[Dennick, Pious Apprentice]] is worth the slot.

Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
Lifelink
Cards in graveyards can't be the targets of spells or abilities.
Disturb mana2manawmanau (You may cast this card from your graveyard transformed for its disturb cost.)
2/3

Dennick, Pious Apparition
Legendary Creature — Spirit Soldier
Flying
Whenever one or more creature cards are put into graveyards from anywhere, investigate. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "mana2, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")
If Dennick, Pious Apparition would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.
3/2

he is a 3/2 jitte holder and can get me some clues, but I feel like he's mostly better as a commander.

gaunt zinc
#

yeah it also shuts off your graveyard which if i rememebr you saying, you do utilize iin soem way shape or form

#

this would end that fun and excitement for sure

near kindle
#

yeah, I don't use it a ton but the previous build had Archeomancer and Tomeseeker with some ways to blink them.

gaunt zinc
#

gotcha. I still don't think its really worth the effort you'd have to put in to make him useful.

#

it's like a ssoft stax piece that doesn't really help move the game forward until it isn't a soft stax piece any more and even than, it's meh

near kindle
#

Hmm, do you think I should run [[Katsumasa, the Animator]] ?

shut charmBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Moonfolk Artificer
Flying
mana2manau: Until end of turn, target noncreature artifact you control becomes an artifact creature and gains flying. If it's not a Vehicle, it has base power and toughness 1/1 until end of turn.
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to three target noncreature artifacts.
3/3

#

3 mana is alot for the ability. I do think the counters make things interesting and would make runnign March of the Machiine effects more fun. because yoou could make sure all your tokens don't die by putting counters on them.

#

it's one of those 50/50 cards. I can see justification for both sides

near kindle
#

I just know I don't need a lot of wincons in this deck, I draw a lot, so I'm afraid running more is going to make doing the primary gameplay loop more inconsistent.

#

I could also run Masterful Replication for my Steel Seraph

#

turn all my clues into copies of [[Steel Seraph]]

shut charmBOT
gaunt zinc
#

that honestly sounds liek a much better plan

#

[[!Masterful replicatioon]]

gaunt zinc
#

expensive. but useful i think

near kindle
#

yeah, i dont know if there's a cheaper similar effect

gaunt zinc
#

we can dig.

#

but i think thats better than the other lines

#

morphing all your stuff into bigger better stuff is always awesome

near kindle
#

unfortunately i dont run a lot of big creatures so this might not be a great option

#

like, the biggest artifact creature i run is literally steel seraph

#

oh, or tangletrove, but that doesn't quite work

gaunt zinc
#

i think you have all the big sticks tbh

#

idk if yoou run it but it seeems trivially simple in your deck and can be a bait card for interaction. [[!Mechanized Production]]

near kindle
#

Ooh, I've got a thing I should probably be on

#

[[Sting, the Glinting Dagger]]

shut charmBOT
near kindle
#

that's each combat, as in not just yours, which means I get to untap lavinia 4 times a round?

gaunt zinc
#

I mean it depends on what you want to use the mana for. its 2 colorless mana. you need to have a use for it or it's kinda just unneeded. what would you do with it

near kindle
#

I use it to pop clues or pay for interaction/countermagic

gaunt zinc
#

Sure. but can yoou run unwinding clock and do the same thing for all your mana rocks as well.

near kindle
#

it's exactly enough to sac a clue for a card if i need it, plus I've used it to help pay for Sphinx's Rev at instant speed.

gaunt zinc
#

just posign the questiions more than anythign.

#

If there iis a use case for you, I think it's always worth testing. Im not huge on equipment stuff. but I see what point you are raising

near kindle
#

unwinding clock draws a lot of hate and I think Sting is more likely to fly under the radar

#

because i can't afford to have people hitting me

gaunt zinc
#

you have any pillow fort stuff in there? make it so they can't look at you haha

near kindle
#

i'm supposed to have prop and ghostly prison

#

idk if that's enough, but it's been enough so far

#

but im also lowering my amount of interaction from the former build

gaunt zinc
#

those are very good ones

near kindle
#

i think in terms of interaction i might actually want stroke of midnight, normally i dont like it but lavinia helps pay for it

#

whereas the council of four, formerly, did not

#

this might also be the deck that i finally buy a force of will for

near kindle
#

ooh, [[Worldwaker Helm]] ?

shut charmBOT
near kindle
#

gives me a way to add counters to fliers and deal damage

#

but also gives me a way to generate clues

#

oh, right, and @gaunt zinc Unwinding Clock only does artifacts, but Sting untaps my commander who is not an artifact.

near kindle
#

[[Wash Away]] seems great as far as countermagic goes, but it feels a little scummy. Unsure if it'll go in, same as Mechanized Production.

#

running a counterspell that exists solely for countering peoples' commanders may be perceived as rude

#

I'm around the last 9 cards of the first rebuild, looking for a couple of equips for the flyers.
The current contenders are:
Glamdring
Mask of the Schemer
Mithril Coat
Shadowspear
Sword of Feast and Famine
Sword of Fire and Ice
Winged Boots

Current equipment:
Sting, the Glinting Dagger
Lightning Greaves
Umezawa's Jitte

near kindle
#

Okay, I think I've got the list as I want it. I'd like to find room for Shadowspear, but It should be complete in the link above!

#

Instead of any of the equips in the contenders list, I went with Halvar God of Battle and Lion Sash, to give me the option of a creature or the equipment, along with Halvar's equipment recycling my creatures.
