I kind of wonder why Azorious Control is back so high in the winrate, especially as it's a bit slow to fill the graveyard with spells to meet the Oculus condition (unless you stack deck with with Opt style spells). Also, how come there is no Simic Oculus? I'd think manifest dread is really the green/Simic mechanic, and would be great with green's tall creatures. Bant, even, with Recommision and Helping Hand?

Will boarding in sentinel as gruul helps against bounce? It have pros that doesn't die to witch's vanity and nowhere to run, but also have some cons that 3-drop is worse against bounce spell or single target removal(many bounce lists still have some additional go for the throat or similar thing)

Ashlizzle featured the jeskai Oculus deck in a video she switched out Malcolm for Prof s Edict
Would you mind sharing your thoughts on that particular card choice
Another question do you think its worth it trying build around Satoru Oculus combo? Its not game ending but you will draw an extra card every time Oculus manifests dread

I've tried the hellraiser deck quite a bit at this point. I get wins but I don't under how nithin gets such consistent results with it.

Feels like it struggles hard against red aggro also which is tough

And you won t get any value out of copying the 2 mana blue flyer in the pixie deck its trigger is on cast and mockingbird copies on entry not on cast
