@@DiogoVKersting yeah I mostly play standard and occasionally historic brawl. I should have been more clear though.

Hey legend, want to again get your input on pure izzet version of this deck. I've been playing a version running 4 revolt and 4 Whirler Virtuoso with some copies of Cyclops Superconductor. Do you feel like Attune with Aether alone is the worth the splash to Temur? What is the reasoning to run Dynavolt Tower instead of just trying to find your revolts since you are almost guaranteed to win the turn after it resolves. Thanks again for video, love the content

Another card that I've found works extremely well in blue energy decks is Roil Cartographer. It's a 1/3 so it blocks some aggro pretty well, and +1 energy per land adds up with all of the fetches and other energy cards so hitting that 6 energy to draw 3 happens way more easily than you think.

Wow, splashing into green just for Attune with Aether. Adding a 3rd color just for that card seems like a stretch. Is there no better option? They arent' good cards, but could you use Inventor's Axe or Thriving Turtle? Or in the 2 drop slot there's a bunch of resonable options; maybe Aether Theorist or Roil Cartographer? Or is the land draw from Attune just that valuable?
@LegenVD3 ай бұрын
It's a cheap sorcery that triggers Tower and also generates additional energy. The extra color is a relatively low cost, since we want to be playing Aether Hub and Prismatic Vista regardless.
@eckroattheeckroat42463 ай бұрын
@@LegenVD Huh, yeah. I gues I wasn't thinking that you already have 8 potential green sources in the mana base even if you cut green entirely, so it makes sense to leverage Attune for the partital land advantage and to have a sorcery as opposed to a creature. and thank you so much for the reply! I was a bit puzzled at the trade off, but as you point out, the cost is already relatively low given the mana base. thank you! Love your content! Best MTG creator on youtube.
