Thus the Fountainports may look strange, but they are actually critical to the deck: although they will occasionally trip you up casting Excruciator, in the matchups where Excruciator is your best plan, the ability to generate treasures with Fountainport in order to build up to combo in one turn is important, which is most relevant when facing a potential opposing Jace, and in the matchups where Excruciator is secondary to your midrange role, having access to Fountainport in a deck full of removal is even more important
It gets even better with ways to flicker Galadriel since that creates a new instance of the permanent, allowing you to retrigger alliance
I wonder how this plays out when I compare it to the Black Lotus for the masses, Gilded Lotus (5 Tap: Add three mana of any one color to your mana pool.) This is hard to setup: you need to spend four mana to equip a creature, then the creature needs to deal damage mid game to your opponent-which means that an unblockable or Trample creature will do the trick best
I dare you
Much of my brewing is built around just be boring, so I am less planning to do anything tricky with Warp like flickering
