Storm Kiln Artist in ramp. Flame of Anor draws you two cards, AND 5 damage to any creature, OR destroy artifact, assuming you have a wizard in play. Haughty djinn has the graveyard power, in addition flying, mana cost reduction. Bria, Riptide Rogue from the upcoming set can make make multiple creatures unblockable, at instant speed, serves as an effective alternative commander. Harmonic prodigy I believe gets around Rielle's once per turn condition, if the copy and original spell go on the stack at the same time??? Izzet has got a whole lotta of love in the modern era.
Indeed it does, nice catch! The only downside of course being that with oath of scholars, and your commander that you will most likely have more cards than everyone else the entire time, allowing your opponents to get rid of useless hands for something better
As for creature spells, Champion of Witts seems like a good inclusion. Seeing how you get to do it twice or have it as a super solid discard option, I like the option. Edit: Also, let's not forget Narset, Parter of Veils. Yes, it is a bit evil so it depends on how much you want your playgroup to hate you but for $1, it's hard to say no.
I have a Jin deck in mono blue that does a very similar thing to this deck, but I was debating taking it apart and rebuilding it as Arielle with a wheel theme, just because making people not have a hand size sort seems too mean at times. Any thoughts?
Not that huge since you could only recoup 1 card off it (you only get to draw for the first time you discard each turn, not each instance of discarding).
@@jakebrodowski9 that's a fair assessment. However, I'm used to playing games where if I'm dropping mind over matter, I'm winning that turn. While it is solid, I wouldn't consider it nearly as huge as some of the other options we've seen in the video like Magus of the Bazaar or something similar. Now what could be huge, is null brooch.
Firestorm is not a wincon, if X=10 you have to target 10 times, if there are not 10 targets you cannot cast it for that value... So most of the time is going to be just a board wipe... Is a good card in this deck, it's just not a wincon
I find in 4 - player commander its a mid game - late game wincon, or at least really good off a wheel. Though in 2 or 3 player games I take it out in favor of abide.

Containment construct, conspiracy theorists, chancy converter, and vag of holding really help elevate the discard synergy
Key to the City is a must in Rielle
I wonder if Oath of Scholars would work in this deck

Read the second effect, and was like wheels? Oh baby, time for self mill, where’s me thassa oracle.
If rielle had black, then you could run one with nothing LOL

Yeah, Jin crushes the fun outta the game.
Great breakdown, thanks!!
Breakthrough is an amazing wheel spell for Rielle. just cast for X=0
Kinda skimmed though but I didn't See Aquamoeba or any Discard a card outlets. Also Mind Over Matter is huge with her.

@@jmdin83 well yeah but in commander which is usually 4 to 5 players that's 4 to 5 cards filtered for free every turn.

@@jmdin83 Mind Over Matter still gives you a free Icy Manipulator activation that cantrips and you can do it during each players turn.
Firestorm is now $25 bucks :(
beautiful deck
Keep it up! You guys are the bomb.com
