The decks mana base seems really difficult to work with. 4 color is new territory for me. I always play 3 color decks as the modern format nearly always does. Wanted confidant and snapcaster in the same deck to see what I could work out! midrange beats with low valuable creatures and cheap interactive spells.

Alright fellas! I would love to bring this potentially better solar flare combo back. Saheeli sounds so much fun with sun titan! haha Gist of putting things in the graveyard and get sun titan out and bring back phantasmal image and saheeli and make a token with haste of sun titan and just get this awesome rotations out! Unfortunately there is a lot of graveyard hate in the meta but hopefully you guys can give some ideas of how to make this work!
I really thought they were going to somehow fix the rulings to say otherwise since they pretty much made Armageddon legal in modern.
I'm familiar with the deck. That deck is really good I think. Goblin darkdweller and boom/bust is just dumb good.
Hmm I'll be curious if you decide to post.
eldritch evolution without too much details?
What are you working with for WMCQ?
It's hard to substitute visionary I feel just cause that draw is really nice. Especially paired well with elvish harbinger. It can give you that top deck CoCo or land or creature. What did you replace them with?
Feedback from the community would be great to see if you believe this to be a viable build or if you think maybe traditional elves is better. Thanks!
Which could be the case for this deck but I'm not completely sold on that it loses quite like bloom did. But the white source you have isn't fetchable and it's only 1 while sigarda requires 2 white to hardcast. Snappy may be to slow but he can contribute quite a bit to a grindy matchup. But he may be the wrong choice. But definitely need something to help with the grave. when you go to delve everything away and the creature gets pathed countered terminated etc etc. Need a way to make the deck viable again. If the deck truly does lose by turn 4-5 you need interaction to survive. Nothing worse than a hand full of delves with no graveyard.
I have a similar build of these using 0 cmc creatures going for more of an affinity feel to the deck to help the cmc, but it's a difficult deck to work with. I have been wanting to make sigarda's aid a thing ever since I saw it, but it's more difficult than I thought it would be.
only when cast, not when it goes into the graveyard from the library.
Sorry another thing to bring up with this deck is the difficulty it has refilling it's graveyard after a delve. Thought scour of course helps along with fetches, but those are utilized early game, and if the spell gets countered, pathed, dismembered or whatever, how do you refill the graveyard without trying to make the game really grindy and a hand full of delve cards, I would recommend grisly salvage possibly here to search for lands/creatures and refill the graveyard, while maybe running a snapcaster or 2 to hit an eldritch evolution from the graveyard if it wasn't cast and hit with thoughtscour or grisly if you decide to run it.
Probably not reliant at all, I don't know if I like it in the deck, 5 counters is hard to build up to for this, but it has a pretty big payout. The card probably isn't worth it, but not to sure what I would want in it's place.
I mentioned gaea's revenge. It's my preference here to akroma for sure.
I was also building a eldritch delve deck with some success. I dropped my mana curve though running tasigurs and mandrills with 7-8 cmc wincons using, elesh norn, gaea's revenge, stormtide and iona in whatever combination. Hornet queen as side board. I don't think I like griselbrand here, reasoning being I don't think he does much for the deck. I mean I know he is a beast of a card, but the pay 7 draw 7 maybe only seems relevant for decks like goryo that goes off for a combo, paying that 7 life to draw 7 I don't think does too much for you.I think you need something that has more immediate effect on board with immediate actions like stormtide that can prevent your opponents guys from attacking or gae's where you can immediately go for a haste/hexproof attack. While akroma also has this ability her protection really is only good against terminate I guess, but still open to path to exile, while gaea's protects itself from all common removal. Plus if you hit your threats like iona or whoever you don't have a way to shuffle them back into your library so they are dead cards in hand. Should probably run some cards like "see beyond" to help cycle your threats back into your library to keep evolution active. Would also probably try and run 1 mayyyybbbeeeee 2 white sources, for unburial rites to be active in graveyard and to allow to hard cast sigarda since that could be a good possibility to be hardcasted.
I think voice may be better than spellskite in this deck. Spellskite with a sword or something equipped becomes an illegal target in most cases. So I will probably add voice in there for sure in it's place and leave in spellskite for heavy burn. The shield plus Aid is an awesome trick I was able to do while tapped out while responding to lightning bolt on my ornithopter. Totally caught my opponent off guard.
Hey thanks for the comment. I made an updated version for this deck. At the time of making this I completely forgot about steelshaper's gift. Probably one of the most important cards in the deck haha, but I made an updated deck called Puresteel if you would like to give your input there. Thanks!
oh wow someone actually commented. just updated a "gistful" how to and description.
What ya'll think?
