  1. Buried in the Garden seems like a nice addition. Saw it in another Standard Bant Control list that also wanted to copy stuff. Ramp and removal.
    I wonder how Three Blind Mice would fare as well. It can certainly present lethal or stabilize in no time once you get a copying spell.
    Invasion of Arcavios can tutor from GY, deck, or sidedeck, and can also be copied.

  2. Did you know that Valgavoth plus fall of Thran lets you prevent your opponent getting their lands back while also getting to play their lands over time? Ofc, using val as a combo piece rather than just… winning with it is kinda silly.

  3. Woah; more than Confiscating the opponent's stuff, I think the real highlight this week is just how damn powerful it is if you can get a token copy of Caretaker's Talent! 1 mana draw a card repeatably after getting the first; then 1 mana draw a bunch of cards on subsequent turns. Crazy!

  4. Second game against Blade, could have confiscated the Overlord of the Hauntwoods (the one with only 1 counter left). Take extra damage from Hare Apparent but block one of the others, then attack next turn to gain an Everywhere (so you get the land while still mitigating some damage) before using Sunfall.

    Hell, the turn after that you should have Doppel x=2 for Overlord (which enters as a creature, even if you copy the non-creature version), and you present lethal (as you have Get Lost for their Overlord that's about to turn).

    They did end up being great content plays at least.

  5. You've gotta try Mossborn hydra scapeshift with the lands that instantly sack themselves upon entering. Nothing feels better than hitting your opponent for a quarter of a million trample damage.

    Note: I did use Kami of whispered hopes with bristly bill to double the counters on my creatures like 17 times.

  6. I had a deck running Confiscate, Annex, and Copy Enchantment in original Ravnica standard. Simic with enchantress cards and Thran Golem, no interaction other than Confiscate and Annex though. Other cards: Utopia Sprawl, Silhana Ledgewalker, One With Nature, Shielding Plax and Privileged Position. It was a budget deck running all basics because I was young and broke. I think I took it to one LGS standard night and got demolished. Still love the deck to this day though.

  7. Spoiler warning

    I think on the turn that your blocked with the stolen Hare Apparent I would've taken the hit and doppelganged the Overlord and Hare Apparent to make 12 more blockers rather than go for the board wipe. Maybe it's greedy, but I see more upside and more fun to that play imo

  8. Panharmonicon and Dopplegang may be mechanically pretty different, but there's some sort of…I don't know, shared essence between the two, and it makes sense that Seth loves both of them.

  9. This video is evidence we need Back to Nature in standard. Imagine you pop off and do the thing, pass the turn, and the opponent untaps and blows up all the enchantments on board. Good luck recovering from that
