Just to ask other players how they feel about other cards and where they would use them, etc. I personally want mor opinions on {Omniscience} since my friends think the ten mana is a waste. Just concider how many spells you can play each turn. Anyways, what do you guys want to find uses for?

The deck isn't based around it though it is the only way I can play any thing from my hand.

Me too, deck not centered around it, but I use it as much as I can.

Anyways, what do you have a question about?

{Omniscience} is great when you can do something to put it into play without paying for it. {Show and Tell}, for example. I use it my {Jhoira of the Ghitu} EDH as a very fun card to suspend.

Here's what I want to know. Why is {Voice of Resurgence} so damned expensive/good? Yeah, it's good, and gives you a big advantage against decks with a ton of instants (namely blue), but $40-50 good? I just don't see it. I feel like {Skylasher} is more useful in more situations against more cards. So is there something about Voice that I'm just not seeing?

Ill bump a deck that {Omniscience} is the card I built the deck around.  Placed 14th at an IQ with it. It's called Solar-Flare Omni.

I agree, possibly a 20 dollar card at most IMO, it's not defining the format at all, it can sometimes be a hassle to deal with can be dealt with.

Voice is greate because it's really rare or really valuable to Selesnya players, I guess. Just seems logical.

Show and tell is GREAT with omniscience, though. Just wish it was from, like, 2014 core set.

I hope voice drops a bit....almost feel like I should have preordered OnE when it was $20 or so
I just need ONE to complete my set.....

Voice reminds me of {Wurmcoil Engine}. You play it on turn 2, you're going to get 2 3/3s more than likely.  That being said, I still like {Wurmcoil Engine} more :P

{Omniscience} +  {Enter the Infinite} is a Johnny/Timmy combo as old as the cards themselves. It becomes decidedly effective when you draw your entire deck - keep about 3 {Psychic Spiral} and 4 {Render Silent}/ {Counterflux}/<insert counterspell here>. You discard down to your minimum handsize on your next turn and mill them out with Spiral.

Bant does pretty good (if you want to go spike), {Farseek}, {Urban Evolution}, {Fog}, {Sphinx's Revelation} into an {Omniscience} - you can also {Alchemist's Refuge} on their endstep (for extra shame) and upkeep {Enter the Infinite} for a win. Plays in a similar way to Fognibor (which is my current MTGO deck).

Unfortunately the rise of uncounterable {Sire of Insanity} does nearly destroy this deck - {Increasing Ambition} finds your {Omniscience}, the flashback finds {Enter the Infinite}, but it requires extremely heroic efforts on your part to do it. Main board removal is becoming a must for turbo fog decks.

I run the deck pretty consistently, it used Refuge to endstep {Door to Nothingness}. And luckily {Sin Collector} does not eat the combos alive. It has some potential to go rogue, I went 2-3 in an online Standard Daily with it. I feel like if I was a better player, and didnt play "on tilt" as much as I do, I would have won more games. But such is competitive play, I'm making great strides every day from playing so much.

Play it like a reanimater and {Obzedat's Aid} it.
