My main magic online deck for casual play. I would like your tips and comments. Mana drains can pull out tombstalkers early, epochrasite is very underestimated and always seems to overwhelm the opponent in the late game when 2 or 3 are cycling in and out, also great to sac to the diamond valley. Sower of temptation will grab a creature and if killed I usually sac the creature I took to the diamond valley. Get a person within 8 life and 2 Psionic blasts will end it, with a tutor and brainstorm they are easy to find. I use the clone to pop off a big legend or roll out a cheap second tombstalker. The crucible of worlds obviously can give you recurring strip mine and mishra's factory's depending if it hangs around.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.
After I counter a spell using mana drain it often nets me alot of mana at the beginning of my next turn which I use to play tombstalker early on.
Dimir, my fav combination. I'm only a little dubious about the damage your Effreet does you when there's other 4 CMC Fliers and am wondering if you need the crucible if you're only sacing one land? Maybe you could swap that for a removal of some kind?
Loving all the old school cards!
{Strip Mine} + {Crucible of Worlds} = Downright mean. lol
I see your point about the {crucible of worlds} although it is mostly used for the {mishra's factory} and to combat decks with minor land destruction. I do have issues with enchantment And artifact heavy decks that set up a lock. Perhaps I should replace it with a {nevinyrral's disk}.
Although the damage from the efreets doesn't pose a problem very often at all what would you recommend as a replacement for them?
I like the disk! It's a good panic button that can also cause players to hold back. {Nevinyrral's Disk} with discard abilities is a good combination too.
I would try to get {Shadowmage Infiltrator} and load him with equipment. Or the new {Invisible Stalker}.
Excellent, the {invisible stalker} is great especially with the jitte and sword. Missed that one in my creature search. I have run the {shadowmage infiltrator} in the past but It wasn't as effective as I thought it would have been but I also wasn't running any equipment at the time. Appreciate the input.

{Darkslick Drake}, {Shimmering Glasskite}, {Ghost Ship} or {Vampire Nighthawk} are cards I use around the same P/T and CMC level. Just a suggestion.
