The way this deck works is to abuse Tolarian Academy, and Mind over Matter. Mana vault's a plus, and so is temporal aperture, which, with top decking skills of love is broken beyond any hope of repair. Speaking of broken, how about stroke of genius for a card drawing engine? I haven't included a sideboard here, and depending on the playing styles in your area, you may want to include more protection, but Here's the deck, I'd have you know, this IS original! 3 Temporal Aperture : This is funnnn...low casting cost to power academy 2 Spellbook : 0 cc, niccce, and lets you take that EXTRA time warp w/ the hand chock of cards full 2 Claws of Gix: also 0 cc, and can save your butt in a pinch 3 Voltaic Key: Mana vault? yes please. also fun with Temporal Aperture 2 Timewarp : you'll have the mana, no sweat, just make sure you use it right 3 Forbid: protection, and buyback works well if you've got spare cards 3 Rewind: great counterspell, doubles as Dismiss with the trove, and comes out with net gain with the academy 2 Dismiss: burns through your deck, and what was that? Earthcraft?! Living Death? NO! 4 Counterspell: *cough* staple *cough* need i say more? 2 Treasure Trove: yummmmmm.... 4 Mind over Matter: Use it, abuse it, it is your friend 4 Stroke of Genius: Braingeyser? that's for scrubs 4 Mana vault: Use with the key, net gain with MoM if you don't have an academy (or they drew that lucky hand with 4 wastelands) 4 Tolarian Academy: This is one of the kickers, great land, and with the drawing engines + ratio of artifacts, this thing is raw power 18 Island: ....
