What does R&D smoke when designing cards?  Is it imported?  Is Fade Away a
card that Blue needed?  Compare it to Provoke, another attempt at giving
removal for a color which lacked removal.  Nah, it doesn't compare now does
it?  Fade Away isn't broken, it isn't even bent.  The problem is it is Blue.

Going back a few months I posted a deck I called Stop & Go Turbo.  It was an
updated Turbo Xerox.  Now I had never been a big fan of Foreshadow and it's
usefullness in the deck at times was tenuous, but at the least it milled a
card and bought you a draw.  It comboed off Portent and Memory Lapse for some
ultimate time advantage.  But you know it is the weakest card in the deck.
So if you put 4 Fade Away in the deck it's just, well, strong.  Here is the
deck, enjoy.
