Not so much taxes I know.  Was focusing on the bounce combo for now

Can you explain what that bounce combo is? I've never seen a shell like this before.

So you {cloud shift} mangarra after you use his ability and he bounces back into play but exiles the target.

Or you {whitemane lion} a {flickerwisp} and benefit from the EtB on the wisp again

Or you {dust elemental} the mangarra, wisp, and wall of omens to re-use all three of the creatures again

Or you use {restoration angel} to save your {Geist of saint traft} from a death block and let his 4/4 angel wreck house

Interesting. I like it so far. You'll want more on the tax side I think {Aven Mincensor} perhaps? I'll have to mull over a few other cards.

Is  {Venser, Shaper Savant} or {Venser, the Sojourner} to slow for this deck? Or just not a fit.

?
{Vendilion Clique}
{Deceiver Exarch}
{Inquisitor Exarch}
{Leonin Relic-Warder}
{Azorius Æthermage}
{Kira, Great Glass-Spinner}
{Lyev Skyknight}
{Stonehorn Dignitary}
?

Venser is a bit slow.  I love him in casual play in a deck like this.  I forgot about stone horn....good SB card along with Kira maybe.  Duh on me for forgetting vendilion clique.....great card to bounce.

Thanks rasser!
