Looking for offers

I have not played Time Spiral but, to me, it looks like you're trying to get a set condition on the field (make them draw and punish them for it). Time Spiral could be pushing away another win condition you could have (milling them out).

Proxy it and try it for yourself, that way you can test it out.

Another card you may want to look into is Standstill. It's a card you can play and immediately break to have your opponent drawing cards, or, in a pinch, you can freeze the board until you get some answers in your hand.

yeah i've got a playset of counterspells as well

what other cards are you thinking might be good, regardless of price?

The standard Force of Will, Jace the Mind Sculptor, Baleful Strix, Thoughtseize. Force for permission when tapped out/turn 1-3, Jace to take control of the board state while also fixing your hand, Baleful Strix to put a strong permissive blocker that cantrips on your side, Thoughtseize for a card that is extremely powerful against everyone.

This is to make it tourney style though. For a casual group your deck looks very interesting.

If you want things that aren't insanely overpriced then go pick up a playset of Daze.

It will save you vs. fast combo decks.

Is being good or being cheap more important to you? If you wanna stay cheap this is ok, just get a playset of Counterspell instead of whatever Blue/Black counter you're running.

If you want to make a good version of this, you would have to drop some serious dosh.

Aetherling is not comparable to Elspeth. Aetherling wins you the game but is very poor at stabilizing. The turn it comes out, it blocks one thing tops. Elspeth drops 3 blockers on the field. Or she wraths. That's a huge difference in terms of stabilizing the board. And then when you've stabilized she can also go ahead and win you the game just like Aetherling could.

But hey, if she's a sleeper hit then all the better for me.

On the other hand, Elspeth can be stopped. Aetherling can't.

I would never pre-order Planeswalkers before the set is out. They're almost always overpriced due to their high demand.

Unfortunately the only things I see that would interest me are in your inventory and not in the tradelist.

No ashiok?

Ashiok is the worst of the 3(at least that is the consensus).

Not saying she's bad at all. My friend is making a homebrew deck with her called "Your Deck the Deck" and it's actually pretty cool. Problem is that Xenegos is obnoxiously good and Elspeth is fairly powerful as well, so she's getting swept under the rug.

Please show me your deckbox or shoot me an offer. Worst I can say is no

I'd imagine new Elspeth could see play in a control deck. Her +1 is obnoxious, her -4 really controls the field, and her -7 is a good finisher with a bunch of small creatures (like, say, her tokens)

He sent me some Remands a while ago and I had no problems with him. Maybe it's bad luck?

Want value, Vendilion, any cards on my wishlist, and w/e you offer

Sent you a trade.

I've also got a ftv20 jace, but I don't see anything of comparable value on your lists for it.

Unfortunately getting one of those is a mere dream atm smile I'm gathering money for it

So I need assorted items for my Nicol Bolas EDH deck (along with some EDH staples).

Take a look at the tradelist/wishlist and see if I have anything you want/you have things I want.

Also looking for Modern staples.
