Michael â€” Thank you, and thanks for checking out the article! Your ideas for Archaeomancer could certainly be right, only time and testing will tell I suppose.

Welcome aboard the MTGOAcademy team.

Great article! Archeomancer is the card which I’m really looking forward to from M13 (that and the payout structure on MTGO not being awful again). However, I don’t think that Archeomancer really should replace Mnemonic Wall and I am actually inclined to run both for the huge amount of redundancy. More importantly, being able to Flicker two Archomancers/Walls can easily lead to a shut out, since you can Eternal Witness every turn and keep returning answers to your hand.

Also, since this essentially turns your graveyard into a giant toolbox, it seems like Forbidden Alchemy, Teachings, and a bunch of relevant 1-ofs would be pretty good.

Govnovalj90 â€” I really like the versatility of Flicker as well. Maybe we can exchange ideas on how to make the deck better!

Jon â€” Pauper is becoming very popular on MTGO, and worth trying out. I think the deck is pretty fun to play because if an opponent underestimates you, you can really make them pay.

BuddhaBob74 â€” Wall definitely has an edge in terms of higher toughness and less vulnerability. I am a little hesistant to play Cloud of Faeries or a Storm finisher, because my current Flicker targets seem robust enough even without a Flicker around.

I’m hoping Ghostly Flicker stays a secret enough long enough for me to get a lot of M13 out of it. It still isn’t showing up in the dailies.
I prefer Mnemonic Wall to Archaeomancer, though. It dies to much much less instant-speed removal, and is a more solid body to sit around until you get your cards.
…and if you’re playing that other stuff, consider Cloud of Faeries for infinite mana. And as long as you’re infinite-casting Ghostly Flicker, you can just kill them with storm instead of Rolling Thunder or Capsize. It dodges removal/discard startlingly well.

Very informative article! I normally play paper magic so I haven’t tried pauper, but it seems like a great choice for mtgo. I am interested to see how viable the archaeology deck is because it looks fun to play.
