Deck discussion for UG Turbo Fog

I still think Day's Undoing is bad in this deck, despite his insistence that it's okay. If getting fog effects back is such a problem, just play Learn from the past to shuffle your graveyard back in. It's one mana extra but it's instant speed and fits so much better.

You might only draw one card but you still leave the board unaffected, his reasoning behind why Day's Undoing was good, but you don't care if you have Dictate of Kruphix and Monastery Siege online, not to mention you get another trigger on Sphinx's Tutelage without increasing your opponent's library side.

Also you missed the sideboard copies of Pearl Lake Ancient that are brought in against control.

Thanks, added 2x PLA to the sideboard. I personally prefer the Day's Undoing, because I really think the drawing 7 is the important part. If you've got no fogs left in hand and you're looking at a lethal boardstate, shuffling in your graveyard and drawing 1 card is not a very consistent way of getting the fog you need. Drawing 7 from a 50ish card deck (assuming you have roughly ten permanents) is much more likely to get you that fog you need.

You could argue that it needs Dig through Time or some other heavy draw besides Treasure Cruise, but DtT is oftentimes going to delve even harder than a TC, and you can't afford to eat up your precious fogs in the process. Furthermore, DtT is a further nonbo with Sphinx's Tutelage (as is Day's Undoing) because it doesn't draw the cards, so you have no added benefit of combo synergy either. Basically, there's just not a better "dig for my fogs" card in standard, in my opinon.

All that aside, I haven't actually played or tested the deck in any way; perhaps another card could fill the slot, but I have no ideas for something better. Really appreciate the feedback.
