Down a lotus, up an archie. The mancer combos with {guttersnipe} even without the lotus doesnt combo as much and costs a lot for this deck. I also highly recommend {cyclonic rift} and {thoughtflare} have been a huge help in my version of this.

I like C Rift, if I had any I'd put them in. Haha. But as it is I'm trading for a good chunk of this deck already. Luckily most everything in it is cheap enough if I have to break down and buy I can.

Do you think  {Thoughtflare} is worth a spot With  {Curiosity} and the other draw I've got going on?

Kaleo42

Your draw largely relies on your board position, you might want to have some back up for worse case senerio. Besides it is hilarious to 3 cmc a {rewind} untap and 4 cmc a {thought flare} on their turn when they try to answer a {guttersnipe} and {golbin electromancer}.

Haha. Indeed!  Updated to make room. Thanks for the tips!

You kept the {divination} over {think twice}, {thought flare}, or {curiosity}?

Think I should drop em?  I really like {curiosity} was kinda sad to see it go. Just figured I'd need it to hit twice before I could gain more CA then div.
suggestion?

{Divination}'s scorcery speed is the deal breaker in my eyes.

Bump, changed things around a bit. Just traded for a new jace so he went in.
