Noctis, Prince of Lucis is yet another graveyard abuse deck. There are several good Limit Break spells in the deck, but ultimately I chose Dreams of Laguna as easy card draw and graveyard filling, and Noctis will just bring back that sacrificed trash, so it’s pretty good. You could also swap it out for Vayne’s Treachery for removal, Rite of Replication, but that’s a little pricey, Sephiroth’s Intervention for the life gain, or even Resentful Revelation.
Originally, I’d have sworn up and down that surveil was just a worse scry. Why would you want to graveyard off the library, when you could be putting it back in the library. Delaying it coming back, by basically requiring a shuttle, but ultimately it could still come back.
The more I play Limit Breaker the more I really appreciate easily getting things into the graveyard. I just built a Noctis, Prince of Lucis Limit Breaker deck and I realize how strong Dreams of Laguna is for his limit break. Might as well read as draw two cards.
I do wonder how many casts of his limit break can be viable though. When does Commander tax make it not worth the cost? Is Resentful Revelation just better, because it’s draw 1 and graveyard 2? Probably? But the mana base is far heavier leaning to blue over black. It’s easier to hit a blue than a black in the early game.
