regarding additional single-target removal, Bitter Triumph is a decent option, because it lets you discard a drawn Oculus and helps mitigate a Tamiyo or Ajani that flips early
Yeah, Standard Occulus plays 3 Kiora the Rising Tide as the 11th creature worth reanimating AND the 11th card that fills your graveyard (at least if you don't include the surveil lands and Consider as graveyard filler, since they only mill half a card on average)
I will take the L on this one, my bad. I built this a bit before the Oculus decks were really getting prominent and don't have a lot of opportunity to test in my local area. I will eventually get a comeback with a solid list that can get some wins!
I play a ton of this deck and this absolutely does not have enough threats. I'm on a build with Tamiyo and Nethergoyf as additional threats and it's felt really strong
All I want is to see what Phil cooks for Ketramose, The New Dawn when Aetherdrift drops. I'm thinking main deck surgicals with his format experience could be insane
Still think Aether Vial is clutch in this deck. You can just turn 1 vial turn 2... sit there with one of the counterspells ready and then put frog in for free. Also it scape the occulus sitting in your hand.
The fact that eyehop hasnt caught on as a name for this deck yet is pretty disappointing.
That’s the perfect name for this deck.

Dredge player here, we have also found 11 is the magic number for cards you absolutely need one of in your opener.

It's a crime that you havent played the new build of BW DnT yet
The Modern Blink one? If so, that video has already been recorded!

This list was absolutely missing at least 4 Thought Scour and another Sewers.
With faithless and mox opal back, thoughts on asmo cookbook shells being back?
Respectfully.. respectfully… fair.
Yeah, watching the first games the list felt a little toothless.

WOW
We've always had Sinkhole in modern it's called Boom
