I originally posted this deck under the name Grim-Vineyard but I tossed
the Megrims for Tongs. I have also added an unlikely mana-dump that has
really helped me clinch wins in Pegasus Refuge. I admitt this card has
very limited practicality, but in this deck it's almost better than a
Post.

I have thought about going with the fourth Aura for scrolls and disks.
It is hard to find a card to drop, the tutors give me too much
flexibility in a pinch, though losing one is where I might make the
switch. I will also experiment next with one more Mox Diamond.

Right now this deck is often set-up in turns 4-6, but sometimes what
it has produced in the first two turns is impressive and difficult to
turn over. First turn Pits vs. Blue don't suck!! Anyways, comments are
welcome; here it is:

4 Eladamri's Vineyard
4 Ensnaring Bridge
4 Bottomless Pit
4 Cursed Scroll
4 Wall of Blossoms
3 Scalding Tongs
2 Pegasus Refuge
3 Aura of Silence
2 C.O.P. Red
2 Fountain of Youth
2 Vampiric Tutor
3 Mox Diamond
3 Undiscovered Paradise
2 Gemstone Mine
4 Brushland
1 Salt Flats
2 Reflecting Pools
2 Stalking Stones
6 Swamps
3 Forests

Build it and give it a try. It's fun because it's NOT for your opponents
and it does very well. Just watch out for DISKS!!
