Only 3 Tezzerets? Only 1 O-Ring? No Gilded Lotus? 2 Solemns?

2 Solemns is generally a personal preference of mine, but I'll drop one for the 4th Tezzeret.


1 O-Ring was all that I felt was really necessary. Could up to a second by dropping like Doom Blade or something I guess.


Gilded Lotus seemed kinda redundant as a 5-drop that won't really do tons. idk maybe I'm mistaken?

O-Ring is just better than Doom Blade, Go for the Throat is also better imo. It really depends on the meta you are playing, Doom Blade vs. Go for the Throat.

I really just don't see a need for Solemn over a Tezzy.


Gilded Lotus is a good card. It may cost four, but it gives you the advantage of +3 of any ONE color. Not colorless or anything.

O-Ring over a Doom Blade then. I'm more worried about decks that would be playing Black than artifact creatures anyway.


I already said I'd drop Solemn for Tezzeret, I realised it was pretty silly not having him over one of them in the first place.


Gilded Lotus costs 5, not 4. It's also kind of an "I don't need this" ability. Nothing in the deck requires 3 mana of a certain colour, and the only time it could ever come in handy is on a Terminus or DoJ, but most of my land produces white mana anyway, especially when I have Mycosynth for mana fixing.

I'd put it in for preference, but whatever.
I understand your reasoning though too.
