If I wasn't running the crabs and replaced them with regular mill spells I'd agree, but cheating with the 8 crabs is probably better than cheating with sanity imo. Restoration having 3 pips is temping but the actual card itself is unplayable in modern unless you cheat it out. And if you replace the mill/ control elements it just gets blown out by aggro so I don't see anything to realistically cut for it.

That's really insightful and helpful. I'll add thought scour, I honestly forgot to add it. Sink into Stupor also adds an additional control element as well. Thanks for your input. :)
Tbh it sounds like you’re a better player and deck-builder than me. Anticognition is obviously synergetic with the win-con, and Flusterstorm works in the sideboard for storm decks. I’m not sure how I feel about Flare of Denial here just because we only have 8 creatures and they are valuable to our plan but I like where your head is at I’ll make some additional adjustments when I have time. Thank you for your advice.
Tbh it’s mostly because of how fast the current modern meta is, if you aren’t running counters or removal you get bent over turn 3-4 most games unless you pop off about the same time. For mill, the win condition takes a lot longer than most decks so I elected to have something for the Grapeshot or Nadu.
Oh good to know, it would help if the website’s format restrictions were accurate lol.
With poison decks, you need a reliable way to poison your opponent before you proliferate, and 2 creatures that both need to deal combat damage isn't really that reliable/ quick to get the ball rolling. Or maybe something like Ichor Rats so that you don't need to swing first, then it makes cards like corrupted resolve more reliable. Hope this helps, love the deck keep up the good work!
echoing return goes hard I didn't even think about that, thanks :)
now I have to do another Apostle deck...
I can actually see this working in vintage
mystic remora?
i mean thats for mid-late game and this is a more aggro iteration it would just be a dead card in your opening hand.
There are 0 creatures that have power 3 or more in here and Nettle Sentinel is more mid-range than I would like for this deck.
I didn't know what Archive Trap was, so I looked it up and it looks interesting. Would you recommend that or something more aggressive like Traumatize or Mirror-Mad? I don't know the meta right now, but if people are searching their libraries that awesome!
That's fair.
It's "possible" tron, because I'm not the best at deck building, and the Golos is just for the entry ability, I'm thinking about removing Golos altogether.
You could probably but in lightning bolt over shock, but this is a great deck!
@mtgblackman Calm down lol
This looks awesome, I am ordering a big order soon and I might just include this! Great work!
True haha
I feel like Hunted Witness works well with Lumbering Battlement.
