4x {Divination}
4x {Azorius Charm} (might go with {Quicken})
2x {Banishing Light}
2x {Spirit Bonds}
24x other spells
24x Land
Basically it's an infinite combo deck :P
{Midnight Guard} + {Retraction Helix} + {Ornithopter} + {Purphoros God of the Forge} = infinite damage
-2 spirit bonds
+2 banishing light
Keep the charms. This looks super awesome might have to go try it out online now. :D
Oops I forgot my change was -2 bonds + {Magma Jet}
I feel like the banishing lights would buy you enough time, and if you don't draw your creatures would still be ok.
Oh, jets are definitely better. Lightning strike might kill more things, depending on the meta. But the scry has to be useful.
I would go swan song over dispel. A 2/2 won't kill you quickly enough and swan song is more versatile.

Exactly. And tbh it's only for the scry I even thought about {Omenspeaker} instead idk still testing lol
Also {Swan Song} over {Dispel} is probably what I'm going to do :P
I'd consider 1-2 {Ensoul Artifact} as an alternate win-con just in case.
When do you usually use silence?

When I'm trying to go off it stops the counterspells/any removal

Ya exactly. I find posting landis too much effort lol
:) I want to play the deck so it needs lands. Seem like a good landbase to you?
-1 Divination
-1 Swan Song
+2 Ensoul Artifact
Thoughts? There is the possibility of more counterspells sideboard so that's not as much of an issue.

I like running as many shocks as you can 4 {Hallowed Fountain} is a must. Basically you want UW bc R is the least common. And I like the {Ensoul artifact} idea but other than ornithopter it might be tough to pull off in that case you'd probably want to run more artifacts
I prefer not to take so much damage in a slow deck like this. The mana base isn't too demanding so I didn't think the fourth was needed.
Right now I'm beating down with flying scissors on untap.in
Just combo killed someone playing dredge, this works pretty well!

Lol nice!! :P and that's true so let me know how your mana base goes!!
I feel like the SB should side out the combo and maybe side into the tradition Ensoul artifact deck
Ehhh. Combo is so fun!
Isn't it??!!!! I was at 6 a guy played {Master Of Feasts} last turn so on his upkeep I draw Purphoros. And he swings and puts me to one (I have guard and orni in play) next turn I draw divination ... First card ... Plains .... Second card .... HELIX!!! Lmfao he was a good sport and laughed it off which was nice of him :P

The times I need a card late game with untapped mana is insane ... It's semi needed
Adding green to the mana base gives access to {Beck // Call} and which lets you draw a missing {Purphoros, God of the Forge} or {Horizon Chimera} which is infinite life. At least that's how I believe it works.

Ya I've seen a list like this and I am considering it actually! Ill have to play test! It wouldn't be infinite life it'd be = to your decksize
Ah that's right. Silly me haha

Ah that's right. Silly me haha
But I wish Beck//call was target player draws lol that's be fun
{Beck // Call} + {Chasm Skulker} + {Purphoros, God of the Forge} = a literal ticking time bomb.
Someone built it for me!

The mana efficiency and utility are so painful though. I mean compared to {Divination}, you're paying {1}{U} for a card and instant speed. Compare it to {Opportunity} and you're paying {1} less for one less card and -target player. It's just so disappointing.
Man I really like the idea...:)
There are many ways how to toy with it...;)
