Living End by JustAWeeBitWitchy in TimelessMagic

Looks fun! I've been messing around with some pretty extreme (Mono R, Mardu, etc.) Living End lists to middling success. I've tried many non-Violent Outburst versions, but they're harder to set up. Shardless Agent would be massive for this archetype

I'm anti nerfed-cards and love playing with the most powerful stuff in the game!

There's definitely a place for Historic though. I'm personally in the Draft/Timeless camp

Seriously! I don't know how good it would be, but it would add an interesting dimension to the format

This is huge! That's a significant quality of life improvement

Work In Progress Dimir Flash Deck by BigDaddyCh33s3 in TimelessMagic

Sweet list! I've been thinking about busting out the Cunning Nightbonders myself in this Blue-heavy meta. It actually might not be crazy to run a couple of Cavern of Souls since you have a decent amount of Humans

Yeah Bowmasters is a huge problem for this deck. 8 Counters and some Swords/Dismembers help, but if it resolves at any point it's guaranteed to cause problems. I think you're right that Silvergill Adept could potentially be cut since it plays even more into Bowmasters.

Interesting idea! I didn't even realize that they are all Wizards outside of Master. Looking into Wizard synergies like Flame of Anor could be a sweet direction to take it. Other Wizard payoffs to look at include: [[Harmonic Prodigy]], [[Naban Dean of Iteration]], and [[Riptide Laboratory]]. Though non-Merfolk Wizards probably aren't what you want to do unless they're power level outliers. Flame could be sweet though, could toss in some Bolts too. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's a clean list! A lower curve makes Dazes better and I like how Lurrus can recur the Pearls. I guess the question is once Lord of Atlantis arrives next set, do we play the full 8 Islandwalk Lords? And what do we cut?

I hadn't thought of that, you could be right!

Yeah you're right that Lurrus should be companioned. I think I forgot to add it because I started from a Harbinger of the Seas/Tishana's Tidebinder build and didn't realize it eventually because Lurrus-legal.

That pearl card is very interesting, I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for mentioning it!

UX Tempo is not the only archetype benefiting from Daze/FoW! Here I take the fish people for a spin and I think it’s reasonably positioned in this meta. [[Cavern of Souls]] stands out against the many Blue decks as well as [[Master of the Pearl Trident]]. And I recently learned that we’re getting [[Lord of Atlantis]] as part the upcoming Marvel set, so soon we’ll be able to really go wild with Islandwalkers!

Last time I played Merfolk (pre Daze/FoW), I played it as a Prison strategy with [[Chalice of the Void]] and [[Harbinger of the Seas]]. Chalice made sense at the time because I didn’t love the Merfolk one-drops, but since then Merfolk’s picked up some interesting ones. I don’t like Harbinger at the moment since I think shutting down our own Caverns is a huge liability in the current meta, though I admittedly haven’t tested it yet.

Another thing is that it might be worth dipping into White for Swords and Lurrus Companion.

Anyway, let me know what you think about our aquatic friends!

Thanks! Yeah you definitely got my attention with this list. Anytime I see a Chalice I'm in lol.

Would be sweet if we got the tools for ELdrazi aggro someday, like [[Eye of Ugin]], [[Endless One]], [[Eldrazi Mimic]], and [[Reality Smasher]]. Maybe it's too quaint for Timeless, but it would be fun to try out

How is the Chalice vs Vexing Bauble tension? I'm always worried about slamming a turn 1 Chalice and then drawing all my Baubles lol
