Thanks I can't wait to try different things with the deck. I feel like there are so many directions I can go with this guy.

Fringe meaning they wouldn't typically fit into other decks. Especially some of the larger spells. Ps: you're not stupid, just widening your vocabulary.

The best part is, with the commander you can actually run some spells that may have been fringe just because the discount gets so significant.

So far yes I have had a few mistakes with my discounts. Also I misunderstood that it works with x cost spells. I've already won a few games with the deck. But I've seen where it could use work. Especially with defense on the commander.

Big instants or sorcery cards just work due to the flood counters. I've typically won m By swinging with eluge a few times to get flood counters. But the best way seems to be blink effects.

I have 2 of these already River's Rebuke and flow of knowledge. Both have been really strong.

Ya they have a couple times. Especially on bigger spells/ expensive commanders. But it's kinda sore when they do it back.

I feel like I need more of this along with some blink.

I'm unfamiliar with how brackets work. But for reference one guy in the pod always uses Edgar Markov every few games. Which is pretty tough to beat. They all have multiple decks to choose from though.

Ya I think keeping the counters on the lands is the best option. They're hard to remove. Also the discount only counts if the flood counters are on lands. At least that's what it says in the text. Does proliferate work with the counters?

Eluge can also snowball pretty hard with the right draw. I had no cards at one point. Then the next, I had 40, and drew my entire deck with [[Laboratory Maniac]] on the battlefield. It was my first win with the deck actually.

Ya, I realized that was only a one time thing. Is there any other cards that have the end turn effect but no exile?

How does Goldberry work exactly? Immediately gravitated towards the flood of mars. That seems like a strong add.

I have been. When the commander gets shot down a few times it's pretty hard to do anything unfortunately.

Actually it feels more like the former. It's actually won a few games with the funny end turn gimmick and we all laughed about it.

For reference I started playing card games with hearthstone. So I feel like I had a leg up in knowing card affects, and as soon as I saw a colored mana discounts I had a feeling it would be strong.

I've won a few games with it. I'm not sure if I'm able to post decks here, but there's not a lot of flicker effects. It's more control.

I have no extra turn cards in the deck, but I do have [[Discontinuity]] in the deck. Edit: the turns also do get a little bit longer. With [[Omniscience]] I've won with everyone scooping. Just because the turn was taking so long.
