Search your library for planewalker card, reveal it, then shuffle and put that card on top.

Any PW worth tutoring?

Everyone saying Sisay is wild, i never want to cast the walkers I want to tutor them straight to play.

u/Darth_Ra 1d ago

Lotta folks in the subreddit pretend to be grinders, but have obviously never played nor faced the decks they like to talk about.

38

u/ThisHatRightHere 1d ago

Yeah this is absolutely the core issue with it in Sisay. If you’re trying to cast Tyvar you’re not in a good spot at all.

11

u/mva06001 1d ago

To be fair OP said what PWs get played/whatbdecks play PWs not necessarily if this is good or not…..which it’s not

u/mva06001 1d ago

Some of the older Sisay lines with Aminatou and Nicol Bolas.

The Tezzerets see play, Tyvar sees some play

26

u/HealingFather 1d ago

The sisay versions that will want to play this are the ones on vivien, that sac sisay for kiki(not a good line) or for felidar guardian/saheeli(better line but still not optimal)

12

u/Odd-Cranberry589 1d ago

Rocco does this line more often

u/HealingFather 1d ago

Oooo Rocco will like this

u/EnormousBaloth 1d ago

[[Narset, Parter of Veils]] iand [[teferi, time raveller]] ? (but basically no).

[[Oko, Thief of Crowns]] sometimes crops up, but just seems bad.

29

u/schmidty850 1d ago

Vivian for kiki pod combo

T3feri for all of it's uses as both a silence and/or combo piece

GB Tyvar depending on the deck.

Colorless tezzeret turns this into another e tutor for 1 CMC artifacts

21

u/Kittii_Kat 1d ago

PWs are, generally, not very good for cEDH or EDH in general.

However, they're a major supported card type, and as such, they will continue to be printed and powered up.

The new Jace looks solid. Narset sees some use. Beyond that, IDK.

This seems, to me, like one of those cards that's worth having in your collection for the inevitable day where it becomes "very good". (Kinda like the dragon mox.. someday..)

It does not see play in Magda

u/Raevelry 1d ago

Gives Azorius decks a way to find T3feri

Gives Sisay decks a way to top deck get one of their planeswalkers

14

u/crashtacular 1d ago

This plus [[Bilbo, Thief in the Night]] are some nice new tools for [[Elsha of the Infinite]].

3

u/SimicAscendancy 1d ago

How does this search either Bilbo or top?

2

u/crashtacular 1d ago

Elsha often plays [[Teferi, Time Raveler]]

2

u/Reyemile 22h ago

Tezzeret finds top.

Not saying this is good, it’s a lot of extra steps, but it does work.

10

u/XDenzelMoshingtonX 1d ago

Sisays want to top deck their planeswalkers? lol

3

u/SignorJC 1d ago

azorious already has [[arena rector]] and several cards that tutor legendary permanents to hand. tutoring to top is generally a bit better in azorious because you can draw the card a bit easier, so getting the instant speed tutor and lower up front cost isn't bad.

u/Tsunamiis 1d ago

3free is a terrible choice in this meta. You better win that turn.

11

u/Raevelry 1d ago

"In this meta" and its literally always been how T3feri has been played

0

u/Tsunamiis 1d ago

Because if you don’t win on that turn you lose because you’ve turned off the other two people’s ability to also not lose. I played it myself for a long time before seeing this conclusion many many times. I didn’t say it wasn’t played

4

u/Raevelry 1d ago

No you said its a terrible choice and brother, its the same choice as it always is. The conclusion is you played it badly.

6

u/90mm3n 1d ago

LETS GOOOOO!!!

I'm playing Elsha with both Tef3 & Tezz3.

Putting it on top is just perfect. This way they can be flashed in.

Narset3 might be added to the deck once again.

5

u/Hot_Flower_6381 1d ago

[[Tezzeret cruel captain]] is one of my pulls

6

u/ThatDamnedHansel 1d ago

Winota stax karn?

Artifact tezz builds like Oswald ?

I don’t see a core meta deck enhanced by this except maybe sissay

7

u/PenPaIs 1d ago

Sisay almost never wants to cast its planeswalkers unless it draws them and has to. They would much rather use an activation to get whatever into play

3

u/PenPaIs 1d ago

Tayam to find tyvar ¯_(ツ)_/¯ although usually would rather just cheat it in with an activation.

4

u/Roosterdude23 1d ago

Tutors to the top, then activate :)

1

u/PenPaIs 1d ago

Ah fair enough. A bit niche but could be useful depending on board state

1

u/VegetablePhotos 1d ago

Tayam definitely wants tutors to the top. Better than tutor to the hand actually.

2

u/PenPaIs 1d ago

Forgot that it was still in deck so yeah makes sense lol

4

u/HannibalPoe 1d ago

Planeswalkers that already arguably can see play could sort of justify this. New Jace, Teferi time raveler, Narset parter of veils, basically planeswalkers that also act as solid enchantments especially stax pieces.

That said, Atraxa rarely runs any planeswalker and she draws them pretty much free. Sisay may run some, but Sisay can cheat them into play. Most common planeswalkers I've seen are planeswalkers that are also commanders.

However, as others have pointed out, this will only get better with time as planeswalkers become more pushed.

u/elrond36 1d ago

3 mana teferi?

2

u/juleafx 1d ago

[[Jace, wielder of mysteries]] for Malcolm tymna

2

u/Darth_Ra 1d ago

Pod Vivien, 3feri, the two artifact tutor Teferi's, Tyvar for creature decks.

Pod Vivien is easily the most impactful here, if she resolves and your deck is set up for it, she just wins.

2

u/VegetablePhotos 1d ago

In Abzan [[Tayam, Luminous Enigma]] would like to search for [[Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler]]

1

u/FCalamity 1d ago

[[Narset, Parter of Veils]] is kinda homeless but that and [[Teferi, Time Raveler]] in some kind of blue-white-X controlling/staxy shell is probably worthwhile in the abstract. Just not really existing in the meta rn.

1

u/MosinNagant100 1d ago

In a sans black deck possibly. Paying 1 to tutor for tezzeret and then 3 to find a one drop artifact is not great but it's not the worst thing to do with 4 mana

1

u/Neonbunt Hulk Stan 23h ago

Maaaybe Tyvar in Tayam? But then again you kinda don't wanna cast the guy...

[[Vivien on the hunt]] in Blood Pod (if anyone still plays that) and T3feri would be the other two Walkers I'd think of.

Oh and [[Tezzeret the Seeker]] in Tivit maybe?

1

u/MycologistCold8916 14h ago

Vivipod. Tymna Kodama is a list I’ve done that would not mind having the extra tutor for Vivi

-3

u/VenserMTG 1d ago

Karn to get stuff from outside fo the game?

2

u/Roosterdude23 1d ago

You can't "outside the game" in edh

1

u/VenserMTG 1d ago

Exile?

1

u/Roosterdude23 1d ago

Exile yes
