It might not be worth the blue, the only instant that can blink a land is teferi's time twist.
It a common though, so it will be easy to get. It can save and grow a creature.

A fast look through the meta.
Familiars, monowhite heroic and kilnfiend are decks that contain 0 power creatures, against these decks it's a bolt that draws you a card.

I didn't look at the walls decks, which was a bit silly :)

But I think if you go carefully through your weakest matchups you might find it to be a really good sideboard card.

Think of it like this.
It's a cantrip, so you can always just switch some of the opponents attackers.
You won't get a card behind because you draw a card.
Also does any of the tier decks play creatures with 0 power ?

Maw does it by itself, but you usually don't dedicate it to a switch out of fear of a bolt, so being able to "reset" the maw is part of the fun.

And you can target the opponents creatures too.

I've recently posted a build with fat end creatures, called "the end".

I'm sure there's some cheap fat end eldrazi too.
Nah, there was only two that looked a little interesting.

A few Inside out could be worth the surprise.

I did search for blink cards that targeted your own permanents, but theres nothing for white in that.
Maybe blue has something if you ever go azorius.

One synergy you might have missed because I only see 1 seijiri steppe in the list, you can actually bounce lands with the kor skyfisher...

Echoing truth was used a lot by faerie decks of the past as a "lock" by bouncing spellstutter sprites.
It's also a way to get more draw with ninja of the deep hours.

It's my intention to invade modern with it.
So you might find coverage on modern cards you never thought about, both in modern and pauper.
I'm extremely ambitious and have trained two persons to professional levels, one becoming champion several times, the other got really competitive but got out of touch so I don't know anything about him anymore.

Heh, the list is a prototype, I'm pretty sure I could develop it into something brutal.
These days I only work with halfdecks, but that shouldn't be a barrier. I'm working a bit on pestilence in one of my other halfdecks, and the plan is to one day expand my 30 halfdecks into 60 halfdecks.

When I was most competitive I researched my own results a lot, and decks that I brought to the meta for longer periods were adapted to, so at first they performed great, then they started to go downhill.

At that time I started up a project with a "random" playlist where I had planned out what to take to the tournament a year ahead, with a scrambled playlist. It was a roaring success, while I adapted to the meta overall, noone could pinpoint what I brought to the tournament. I had 6 decks with very different game plans.

Since halfdecks can be thrown together at random. It does the same thing. I'm prepairing to adapt against my 64 proxy testdecks from 2018, (so far it's been merfolk alone just to reach a certain level.)

It's a heck of a project, but at some time I will be able to couple a pestilence deck with a power switcher deck and see some good results.

The process is a bit "glacial" because it's such a huge project.

Oh, yeah, kataki went up shortly after treasure tokens became popular, and neon dynasty and a few other artifact heavy sets kept it crawling :)

I remember when I started using it mainboard in 2018.
I was late at a tournament because of a friends lax attitude towards meeting early at tourneys. So the first game against an opponent was an auto loss, so my opponent looked rather confident. He played affinity, so when I dropped
Kataki on turn 2 he was pretty shocked.

When your opponent is forced uo spend mana on attacking you simply start dividing their attention with other costs...

Ghostly prison, kataki, war's wage and similar :)

After I made many of my own decks private to trim them for personal information I have encountered the situation of being certain that I've built a deck, but when searching for it I'd have to go through all deckpages to find it again.
The first times I had the problem it did create a "my deck is gone" feeling.

You got many decks, so if you for some reason didn't make the first yennett deck public, it's going to be hard to find again.
Otherwise you can just use the search engine.

Since search results doesn't reveal decks that are not public, even though you built them, there's a sort of pressure to make them public which might be one of the reasons why spam and upvote wars was more done in the past.

During most of my life I've paced my creativity to a high level. I can always create, and usually I cover several types of creation. It's a very useful skill to keep fine tuned. It's sort of how I can always conjure something new from toying with magic for example. My out of the box thinking is constant. It takes discipline to keep it going at dead periods, but it is a thing that can be trained:)

It's also the reason why I never settle with one solution. I force myself to revisit old concepts to renew them.

The overall activity dropped when I stopped linking to my theft article to see if that would make it drop, and it did.
But I also gained some extra views, likely by someone wanting to see if I doubled back on it.
(Which I did, but indirectly) but that's the usual boring old story.

I've always loved the way you rate the decks on different aspects, like overall speed, creature dependency and highlighting pros and cons.

It's also good to see that you've increased your output, because you are one of a few number of people who still holds on to a good description.

It's kinda odd, but there's a really huge drop in your viewers.
Have you altered in your writing recipe somehow ?
You don't seem to rile up your viewers anymore.

Theres been less troll activity, but it would be pretty odd if they were your biggest viewers, right?

My best guess is that you have somehow started naming your decks differently or are using different tags.

Take a look at your page two of decks to confirm the decrease.

An alternative explanation might be that the trolls are boosting their own viewerships as well as keeping an eye out on what I write because I frequently do something new and unexpected.
