I was just pondering ideas on a new deck that i wanted to build... Ideas, suggestions are welcome. I just threw this together in a matter of minutes. The point was to control the board while stealing or cloning their spells/creatures. The scry should help with setting up cards to draw and the charms are in there for their versatility.

I wouldn't play {Swan Song} here.  Your only way of dealing with the token is burning it, effectively 2-for-1 ing yourself.  I would either main board {Dissolve} or play {Lightning Strike} instead.

Artisan doesn't really flow with the deck considering you're only play Legendaries (see new legend rules) and Omenspeaker (enter the battlefield effect)

It can copy opponents creatures.  However, I agree, I'm not a fan of the card.

Card just got infinitely better, but it still seems ify in the deck

I just put it it in there in case  I couldnt remove their bombs... It also gives me one then. What would i put in place of them then?

[Estel2931]

The fact i can change it at instant speed is nice too... I think that was the other thing i was thinking about.

{Detention sphere} can handle most bombs really nicely, atleast for a bit.

Why don't you run {Curse of the Swine} according to you...  Isn't it better? (Sarcasm)

[Estel2931]

I could run both of them, but i like the fact that Artisan is a creature... I should just throw Aurelia in there heh..

It's situational, like most cards. If I'm playing weenies, it'd make more sense to play def sphere. If I'm playing midrange creatures, I can just use swine curse.

What if I need to hit 2 creatures with different names? Lol.

Det sphere fits this deck's curve better. Besides, this deck would have problems dealing with the resulting swine.

But it is easier to deal with in a control deck?  In control decks you need to wipe the field, not leave more attackers and effectively 2 for 1 yourself.  Does this deck not have just as many answers?  Magma jet, all the charms...  Just as many answers as a control deck it seems to me.  And You said that you have to manage ur mana effectively by casting it for 3 and getting rid of their biggest threat.  That sounds like the same curve as Detention Sphere.
