Grixis Illusionist

Creature — Human Wizard

{T}: Target land you control becomes the basic land type of your choice until end of turn.

Jeez, that's a difficult one to justify. Okay, so, based on Grixis, I can see that.

Bolas' Gnat

Creature - Insect

As an additional cost to cast Bolas' Gnat, return a Swamp you control to your hand.

Flying, First strike, Deathtouch

1/1


I think that adequately justifies Izzet Deathtouch. I can legally be played in EDH, btw bc Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, as well as Grixis Illusionist, which would certainly be reprinted along side this beauty. Dream Thrush could actually be with it in a flying matters deck. A fun card in stax, Illusionary Terrain (that plus Urborg or Blood Moon can be rather fun).

Also, Realmwright and Trait Doctoring could finally have use (I know they have some use, but this'd be another.


Can I see an uncommon black flyer or card which grants flying?

Blue Wizards: Crafty Pathmage, Frontline Sage, Grixis Illusionist, Stream of Unconsciousness. Tideshaper Mystic, Prodigal Sorcerer, Trinket Mage could search for the "holy hand-grenade":Explosive Apparatus or any of the spell bombs. Trinket Mage could also search for the "holy grail": Golden Urn!

Cards like Moonbow Illusionist, Grixis Illusionist, Spreading Seas and Blood Moon all will have the same result. Turning a land into a basic land type makes it lose all of its abilities and land types it might have already had, but it won't stop it from being a creature. When you set a land's subtype, it loses the abilities generated by its rules text, but not abilities granted by other effects. In this case, the Encampment will lose its printed ability (i.e. the ability to become a creature,) but not the abilities that it gave itself when you activated its animation ability - namely, First Strike. In every case, the Fatal Push will still kill it.

I'd reccomend some more sources of land destruction- Plow Under is super good. I tried a deck running all nonbasics and Choke/Spreading Seas before now, but it is tricky to get the land type changes. Some cards allow lands to become any type Grixis Illusionist springs to mind. There is a 1 drop black enchantment that makes any land a swamp. Good luck with the tinkering though.

Cool deck! +1

Grixis Illusionist could help cast their stuff. Mana Confluence will cost you life, but if it allows you to win it's worth it. Looks super cool
