@ wyld – I see what you’re getting at, like I said I think there is room to possibly improve over blinks, but you’d have to play around with options to get the right mix

@ newplan – np love the deck and more than happy to spotlight it, look forward to seeing the new list, decks becoming quite the grab bag

I’ve made a few changes since then to shore up the fissure matchup – which has been quite tough to win. Faultgrinder is now in the main deck as is a single nature’s claim – all star vs affinity and does something vs almost all decks in the meta. The guildgates are gone for bounce lands – one GU and one UR.

Crop rotation and flicker are two of the most powerful spells in pauper and I’m trying to exploit them to win vs the decks that are out there. The deck is quite fun to play and has good matchups vs lots of popular decks. UR post getting less popular makes the deck worse though as I win something like 90% of my matches vs UR post.

Thanks for the spotlight.

Hello Justsin,
The cloudshift flickers one creature for one white mana. In the early game your using your blink more to save life and preserve your board. The cloudshift is easier to cast from the hand over blink, but the shift lacks the flashback. When running cloudshift I also prefer to have 3-4 in the main to improve my chance of having access to it on turn 3. To get to 3 I would cut a weird, because your other 4 drop creatures are more synergistic with your deck. The ghostly wall combo can be fragile but the fissure post list I have seen only use one of each card. I think the idea is that if you can get the combo off twice then the tempo swing will win you the game.

Hi JistSin and thank you for the quick response. If you can track down that decklist, it would be interesting for you to do a piece on it. Especially because of your liking of Mystical Teachings.
