I guess I called it this cause im chucking cards for damage.. and its a
nice Monty Python allusion. Here goes

Blue Spells
                        ' Counters
4 Counterspell          ' Obvious
2 Memory Lapse          ' Again Obvious
2 Mana Leak             ' Good counter once the Worb hits the table
2 Dismiss               ' Card Drawing is a must

                        ' Protection
3 Propaganda            ' Harder to attack once worb is out
3 Dream Tides           ' Same, and with MoM i dont need an untap
                          phase for my creatures

                        ' Getting Cards
4 Intuition             ' For those Gaea's Blessings or forests or
                          Worb (etc)

                        ' Kill Cards
4 Mind Over Matter      ' [EX] Tap Worb or Untap the tim
3 Curiosity             ' [EX] Card drawer for the combo
3 Suq'Ata Firewalker    ' Tim the Magician

Green spells
                        ' Recycling
3 Gaea's Blessing       ' Cast only if you need to make sure you have 2
                          in the library at all times so you can intuition
                          to recycle your gy

Artifacts
                        ' To wait for the MoM
4 Sky Diamond           ' Mana of course
3 Winter Orb            ' Stalling
3 Mana Web              ' Stalling again :)

Land

4 Svyelunite Temple     ' Get that MoM
12 Island
3 Forest                ' for the Gaea's and just enough to intuition them
                          if you need them

Sideboard
                        ' Not sure yet ... but definately Chill

This Deck relies on countering till you can protect yourself with the
Worb and Dream Tides.  Once you have your Mind over Matter in Play
(2 Syv temples and 2 sky diamonds (leave mana avail for a counter) then
use it and any extra cards you dont need (like a gaea's if you have 2 in
your hand or anything else to get rid of) to tap the worb before your turn
using all your land cast the suq'ata and the curiosity so that you can
draw the # of cards needed to kill your opponent. Always hold an Intuition
if you can, and make sure 2 gaea's are in the library, then when you run
low (if you run low) Intuition the gaea's so that you have more cards to
cycle.

Once MoM, Tim, Curiosity are out just tap the tim to ping, draw a card,
ditch the card to untap tim, tap him, draw, etc till your opponent is dead
