completely forgot about Strionic Resonator so thanks for that gem!!! Besides Azor's Elocutors it also works well with Fathom Mage. And I decided i'd rather have hexproof instead of the damage prevent so i put Mask of Avacyn in there to protect my key players. But Thanks For The Ideas!!!

Yea I got the deck idea from "Rogue Deckbuilder" on Youtube and he was running the Goblin Rally's because they gave you 4 more creatures for your Burn at the Stake but that was before Young Pyromancer so I think I am going to take your advice for that one. And also I really like that Quicken cantrips but it feels kinda out of place besides flashing in Krenko's Command to block. But if I find room I will. Thanks for the input and i'm glad I could give you some ideas!!!
I might be missing something but I feel like Ponder/Preordain should be in this deck. They're blue so they can help you dig for the Paradise Mantle if it is not in your opening hand. Also Dispel is a nice counterspell at 1U mana
Both of those make perfect sense. The reason I have the Prime Speakers in there are because in the first game im looking to "combo" win by flashing in Biovisionary and then playing Infinite Reflections and he lets me dig deeper. However the Progenitors are almost always boarded in as the second and third games are played in a more midrange manner. But it does make sense in the maindeck as you can mimic your Thragtusk and essentially put the game out of reach while topdecking for your combo parts. As for the Chromatic Lanterns, I originally had Plasm Capture maindeck and that is a very mana specific card. Also I wanted to maximize my mana with the 1 drop mana dorks by going 1 drop-3 drop-5 drop on the first 3 turns. But farkseek makes a lot of sense as well. Thanks for the input!!
I really like this list. It's probably one of the better mill lists that I've seen. There are a few suggestions I have. One thing is I feel like 12 sorceries that do nothing but mill is a little too much. The one thing that I do like about those sorceries is an opening of 2 lands, Jace's Phantasm, and 2 of those sorceries gives you an AMAZING start with an early 5/5 flyer. But you could easily fill those spots with more removal or counter spells. Another thing is Duskmantle Guildmage is VERY powerful in your deck. He deserves at least 3 maybe 4 spots because of his first activated ability. If you have a Consuming Aberration or better yet a Mirko Vosk and you activate that first ability, the Guildmage is going to do some serious damage. But I really like the deck and the idea itself and I think you definitely should continue refining and improving this list
I do agree that the Undying mechanic and Master Biomancer is a bit of a nonbo. But i figured the value that Master Biomancer gives to all your incoming creatures is worth sacrificing the mechanic. I am willing to play my 4/3 Strangleroot Geist with the Biomancer in play rather than a 2/1 with the mechanic. Also, the synergy with Undying creatures before Biomancer is in play is very powerful. For example, If i drop a Master Biomancer with a Strangleroot Geist in play and then I play Rapid Hybridization on the Geist, not only does he come back with the undying counter, but also with 2 Biomancer counters. Also the frog comes in with two counters. I think those types of synergies are too powerful to pass on. However, I can easily see where you are coming from. Getting the most out of your Undying creatures is very important in such an aggressive standard format and maybe you could remove the Master Biomancers for some more 3 drops and lower the mana curve. But Thank You for the input DedWards!!!
Yeah I really do like that card. The only thing was it doesn't work well with Trading Post whereas you can sacrifice a Vizkopa Guildmage and get back a Ratchet Bomb. Also, i'm not sure, but I don't think that Sanguine Bond and the Vizkopa Guildmage effects stack. But it is definitely an option especially with an enchantment based block coming out in Theros.
haha smh DotP. Filthy liars
Sorry to break it to you bud. But Grave Titan is unfortunately no longer Standard legal
