{Braids, Conjurer Adept}

Any suggestions? Or is this an F rated card?

Thats one of the best cards ever.
Flash her
Have bigger, badder things than you opponent.

Discarding effects would be nice, to limit how much your opponent can use it to their advantage. Other than that, cards with good etb abilities are really probably going to be your best bet.

Flash her

You can get arrested for that.

Braids is a crazy chick though, so it'll work. She is also gal-pals with {Sheoldred, Whispering One} and to a lesser extent her twin sister {Braids, Cabal Minion}.

I was thinking of putting her in a deck with {djinn of wishes} and {galvanoth} and is there a card where all players play with the top card of there deck revealed? Because I think I could get away with putting only a few mill cards in my deck with something like that. Pick and choose, what your opponent gets, and what they don't get

{Lantern of Insight}. And that would make for a very interesting form of control! I like the idea!

It's supposed to be, you get monstrous stuff while you screw the opponent out of getting what they need to beat you. I'm sure denial spells would also go well. If I splash black I could throw in {perplex}, and force them to pick and choose between having a hand, or getting to play there silly little spell. And that goes well with braids too, since discard goes well with her

Keyeto

{Tyrannize} is another fun card in the same way perplex is, giving them two bad options. If you want to control what they can (or can't) abuse Braids with, cards like {Head Games} work nicely, in case they have enough draw power to counteract your discarding effects.

I'm not sure I will splash back though. Though thank you for the feedback. just wanting to know all mu options before i make a decison. And you all are welcome to try these ideas and give feedback. If I splash green I could add {elvish piper}, what other options in green would there be?

Oh, I keep forgetting...{mind unbound}

Hmmm, I'll have to think about the green cards. The piper reminded me of {Quicksilver Amulet} though, and possibly {Grozoth} if you want to abuse it. Don't forget about {Paradox Haze} for more fun with Braids!

Oh, and if you want to be sneaking big creatures into play, {Warstorm Surge} might be a good idea.

Play with {teferi, mage of zhalfir} and {stormtide leviathan}

{Lantern of insight} + {Ghoulcallers bell}

 {Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir}, {Vedalken Orrery}, or {Quicksilver Amulet}. You could flash out Braids at your opponent's end step, then use {Isochron Scepter} with {Boomerang} on your turn so they don't get the benefit of her.

Bring out {Gilded Lotus}es and {Sculpting Steel}s to mana-ramp for {Omniscience} and you're golden.
