Here's why the creatures. I
anticipate a lot of hate for jeleva, and can't count on her to be on the board. Thus some of these guys are in there to provide an alternative. I need more ramp or spells to cheat creatures out, it looks like
Tidespout Tyrant - supplements the bounce side of things.
Elite Arcanist - allows me to recast cards
Magus of the Mind - this allows me to play big fat spells cheap
Stuffy doll - best blocker of all time
Grozoth - ways to search up a lot of spells to hold and a great blocker
Sphinx of the Final Word - prevents counterspells
Mnemonic Wall - spell recovery and blocking.
Could be cut:
Magus of the Mirror - seemed fun.
jinn Illuminatus - allows for recycling spells. TBH he's never been that effective.
Got any ideas for replacements for these guys that would offer some defense and supplement to bounce, recasting spells?
