3 {arid mesa}
2 {hallowed fountain}
2 {sacred foundry}
3 {steam vents}
3 {glacial fortress}
2 {clifftop retreat}
3 {sulfur falls}
1 {island}
1 {plains}
1 {Mountain}

Creatures 6
4 {Squadron hawk}
2 {emrakul, the aeons torn}

enchantment 8
4 {possibility storm}
sorcery 3
3 {serum visions}



instant 18
4 {lightning bolt}
2 {sphinx's revelations}
4 {path to exile}
4 {lightning helix}
4 {mana leak}
2 {Dispel}
2 {Spell pierce}
Any comments acceptable!

why {curse of exhaustion}? i know about the combo with possibility storm, but it seems like it will just make things difficult for you.

I like it but how does it do against control?  Seems a well timed counterspell just ruins your day.

I feel like you ought to run {polymorph} as well for more ways to cheat out 'kul.

{Dispel} is fantastic for making your spells resolve.

I feel like sphinxes rev isn't necessary in this deck.
