Here's a sort of crazy Rath cycle constructed deck that actually has an excellent chance of winning in an environment with lots of recursion decks. I only went 1-3 with it in GP Boston :( but I'm certain that it could be potentially good. Post it if you think that it's worthy. 4 Dream Halls 4 Mana Severance 4 Sift 4 Dream Cache 4 Meditate 4 Pursuit of Knowledge 4 Intuition 2 Wall of Essence 2 Pandemonium 1 Sliver Queen 3 Benethic Behemoth 2 Plains 4 W/U Depletion Lands 13 Island 1 City of Traitors 4 Ancient Tomb If undisrupted, it gets a fourth-turn kill 25% of the time with a fifth-turn kill rate of an additional 50%. I guess I better call it 'Minion of Zvi' like Moshowitz did in his tourney report.
