Have you considered Siraf over either Temple Scribe or Teacher as a more impactful card? Sometimes I get to a point where I have plenty of cards and a decent board but I cant break through.
Could Minotaur Platemaker also be a consideration as it Renowns for Golems and is a decent powersink
I have looked at Siraf, Grand Strategist more than once, but it would be another card that doesn’t synergize with anything that this deck is trying to do. It doesn’t draw me cards, it doesn’t ramp me, if I reweave for it then I have to wait until it emerges to use its twist ability, it’s not a target to use Killer or Safe Return on.. so it just doesn’t belong here. Both Temple Scribe and Teacher have places in this deck because they both can draw me a card, both can be used to trade with opposing SS units (which is half the meta), etc.
In another comment or two I have said that I wanted to try Platemaker in this deck, but one of my biggest turn offs to that card is that it’s a terrible reweave target for the same reason as Siraf: You can’t use its twist ability until it emerges. As of right now, every Unit choice I have made is a good reweave target, and combos well with what this deck is trying to do. Even Teacher isn’t a bad early game Reweave target because you’re almost guaranteed to get a weights on them after the Teacher emerges. I am in no way saying to not use Platemaker, but at the present time, I am content with what units this deck has and have never ran into an issue triggering Renown (since you draw so many cards). The great thing is that Meta’s are constantly changing and evolving, so Platemaker may be a much much better card choice over another unit in this deck as it evolves.
While they aren't too common at the moment, I think this deck does struggle against deadly units, especially small deadly blockers like amaran stinger's scorpions or ripknife assassin - feels like the only way to deal with them is to trade unfavorably or hope you can stick a sword of unity on icaria and fly over.
A desert marshal to reweave into might help that, but I haven't tried it.
I personally haven’t had any trouble with deadly units. Cards that have deadly in this meta, such as Ripknife Assassain, are played out of very aggressive decks.. so if they aren’t attacking with their units, then you’re winning. With the amount of Killer units this deck is able to create, especially after the addition of the Wurms, throwing your Temple Scribe’s or Evenhanded Golem’s at the deadly units to clear a path for your assault is what I tend to do.
As I said in another comment, adding 1x Desert Marshal is a good idea so you have a Silence in your Reweave Utility Belt, but I haven’t fit it in as of yet. It’s very hard to free up slots in this deck, but taking out 1x Scribe or 1x Teacher is probably the best place for it.
I only had 48hr to prepare for the Invitational, so I put this together and tested as much as I could. The Wurm was one of those cards I wanted to, but didn’t have a chance to test.
A previous iteration of this deck did have Desert Marshal, but I felt that it wasn’t doing enough. It doesn’t combo with anything that this deck is trying to do, and I just felt that it made it play clunky. I will eventually find 1 spot for it or for a Sheriff Marley just to add the Silence to my Reweave utility belt.
You cannot use the amplify to give Killer to itself or any other shifted unit though.
