Here's what it looks like:

4 boomerang
4 desolation
3 tariff
3 abeyance
4 dream tides
2 gerrard's wisdow
4 man o wars
4 memory lapse
3 Chimeric Spheres

2 Sky diamond
2 Marble Diamond
2 charcoal Diamond

2 Bad River
2 Flood Plains
5 swamps
8 islands
5 plains

60 cards

Sideboard

2 Gerrard Wisdom (Burn)
3 Aura of Silence (SoT and various combo decks)
1 Disenchant (dito)
3 Phyrexian Furnace (ertai decks)
3 Undos (Weenie decks)
3 ManaWeb (counter decks)

I love this deck. It's controlling the opponent's attack with boomerangs
and manowars, then sets a desolation/dream tides creature lock.
Then it tries to deny every attack the opponent tries to launch until he
/she runs out of lands. With help of diamonds and Chimerci Spheres,
victory comes relatively quickly.

what do you all think?
