I'm play testing both. But I like vraska bc when ultimate her you win next turn. Bolas needs several ultimate triggers to win.

I just put a deck like this together. The {curse of exhaustion} and {possibility storm} combo is deadly!! +1 from me.

Seems cool. I wonder if a Naya version of this would be better, if only to get the required mana sooner with {Farseek} and stabilizing with {Thragtusk}.

Cheap counter spells could go a long way while setting up the combo. {Syncopate}, etc where you could set someone back a turn, buying you time would be really helpful I suspect.

Syncopated min cost would be 2 cmc. And I already have essence scatter and izzet charm in the main...

Played at my shop tonight. Placed 5th out of 50 some people. Went 4-1 .
Lost to esper control. Win vs bant, reanimator, USA control, and Naya blitz.

Overall I'm really happy with the way this deck performed. It was fun and caused many scoops From my opponents.

How often did you see the {possibility storm} and {curse of exhaustion} combo?

I'm looking forward to the same results this Friday. I hope it goes as well as yours did.

Needs a little bit of ramp. Maybe {Chromatic Lanturn}?
