Hey there guys, I’ve tried “Amulet of Vigor” with the idea of having multiple copies in play prior to playing a land that comes into play tapped.. The amulets would untap it each time allowing me to access large amounts of mana. I’ve tried all lands in Standard that come into play tapped and played all artifacts, but I think I’m testing this incorrectly. However, I think Prototype Portal, along with Semblance Anvil in play with an artifact creature imprinted helps reduced both artifacts and artifact creatures. POint is the anvil makes the portal cheaper thereby freeing up mana on the casting for say counter magic? There is the need for control to protect the Portal.
Thank you Frank for your comment. To everyone else in our listener base, if you don’t comment, we don’t know what to cast about. Hint Hint
This is a really interesting deck idea. I’ve tested a similar deck myself and some crazy things have occurred. I traded the Eldrazi Temple and the Mystifying Maze for Islands and dropped the All Is Dust for Stoic Rebuttal. I also threw in a few swamps and two Liliana Vess’s so I could search for a Prototype Portal or something to imprint. So far it’s been a blast.
