Alright--stasis is finally gonna make some sorta re-entrance into
 signifigant tournament play sooner or later, so...

 With the addition of Tradewind Riders and Capsize there are numerable
 ways to recursion the Stasis from handt-to-play without signifigant cost
 in card advantage or sacrifice for 1 use cards such as Boomerang. In
 this deck, I chose a Steel Curtain/Propa-Orb (w/o the orbs) mixed with a
 Stasis mentality. This provides the deck with an already proven-solid
 gameplay plan with an element of surprise (Stasis). Stasis is also more
 effective against more decks than the orb, which is almost useless
 against 4cB and 5cG and some sorts of the few remaining red sligh.

 Also--I chose to play with Dream Cache instead of Impules because,
 despite of its being a scorcery & 1 more casting cost, it gives the
 abilities of:
 •put cards on top OR bottom of library
 •no need to choose from top 4 cards--just draw 3 and put 2 on top or
 bottom

 Next--Although Pendrall Mists also affect your creatures--the recursion
 of Stasis will prevent your not being able to pay the cost. One last
 note--suggested play of Stasis is to wait until you have a Tradwind out
 or Capsize in hand + a counterspell.

 And I think the rest of the deck is self explanatory--i.e.--most people
 know how what Wall Of Air is for and that Propaganda helps the Stasis.
