Deck Description

An extremely expensive Vintage deck I built for fun and never plan on buying. I'm trying to create a deck that abuses Omniscience, and if you have any advice on how better to use the Omniscience/Tamiyo combo, I'd be glad to have it.

How to Play

The first step is to get Tamiyo into play. Get her ultimate off as soon as possible, using Gilder Bairn + Paradise Mantel to use her ultimate right off the bat.

get Omniscience into play using Show and Tell or Academy Rector. The walls will hopefully keep you alive until that point. If you've got any advice on better ways to ensure you get Tamiyo and Omniscience into play, please leave a comment.

Deck discussion for Omniscient Mill

Such weird and wondrous decks to be found!

The theme of this deck is one I like a lot, so here's some tips!

1: Replace some walls with walls that draw you a card. When you get omniscience you can play walls, and draw some more cards.
(walls of blossom, mulch and omens or some drawing defenders) (You might want to check out aluren as well)

2: I find that kederekt leviathan can be quite amusing with show and tell, especially against someone playing omni-halls.
(this card will also work well with walls that let you draw a card)

3: If you can find the right "hideaway" land, you might have a nice way to play omniscience without the mana involved.
(If you can get you mill more violent try to use shelldock isle)

Thanks for the suggestions! As soon as I get the time, I'll look into implementing them. Hideaway lands look to have a lot of potential.

They do. I play 2 in a 20 land deck.
The difficult part is the walls as most of them are green, which would mean a heavy rebuild if you go there.
Kederekt leviathan is fun when it sees play, but it's tricky to get it there.

I have been thinking on how to improve the "wall" aspect without breaking colors, and the closest thing is to use wall of omens and phyrexian metamorph, which gives you 8 usefull cards that will allow you to turn omniscience into a draw engine. The metamorph may also copy wall of denial, making for an awesome defence. It can also copy the leviathan setting up a loop for you (if you draw into a second metamorph) where you can get to draw a lot of cards each turn.

In general I think there is a lot of cards you can cut away in this deck.

One aspect you might want to consider is to add noxious revival, which goes well with the draw concepts, and can let you reuse whatever it is that you need the most.

Your millpart could take advantage of long games against aggro, so using increasing confusion and dream twist might also be an idea. If you take that approach your sb should be counterheavy against combo.

Alright, I've added a few Phyrexian Metamorphs and Walls of Omens. I also included Dream Twist and Increasing Confusion for mill. Counterheavy against combo? What do you mean?
