Just something I've been messing around with. I know the inclusion of blue for {deadeye navigator} and all would be nice but I really dig the NAYA colors here. It's a lot of fun to Play. :)

It looks nice but how are you supposed to win? Wait until you take out the tyrant?

Hmmmm, I guess..... 

Any ideas?

Maybe some blood seekers, something that not only stops your opponent from attacking but also takes a bit of their life away each turn that passes.  A good artifact would be {Chalice of Life}. Hit 30 life and start wrecking havoc

Not really sure how {blood seekers} or {chalice of life} fit here.
How do you feel about {warstorm surge} or {inquisitor exarch}?

It seems very slow for tyrant and deadeye, and the whole chalice idea would be good if you were to turn this into heavy white for life gain other wise going against quick agro you'd enevidably be doing nothing.

If your making tyrant the game changer then run pod, or go add black and diabolic tutor. At least then you can many ramp up thought to play him quickly

The surge is too slow and if you're playing me you'd be pretty low in health by the time you pull that out.  You need cards that you can start playing early in the game and 3 cost is the way to go. Incorporate the chalice and other nice cards that increase your life and see if that works better

Ok updated list with some life gain aspects.
The chalice and {cathedral sanctifier} which should be fun to bounce around. Also put in a few fogs to slow agro until I can lock it down turn five.  Now running 62 main.

Whatcha think?

Okay okay okay.... I think this is getting away from me a little bit.
I'd like to run the life gain game plan.
But, after this update the list has grown to 68. : /
What fat can I trim to make this consistent.
Play testing on cockatrice has gone supprislingly well with the original list. As long as things like doomblade aren't present of course. Shut down 3 aggro decks no problem but stalled without a real wincon. Nearly milled one of Um Haha

Anyone else like this
List or have any opinions on ways to trim the fat?
Thanks so much!

Is fog standard?

Yup. M12

Just not liking the tyrant if anything that's some of the fat to trim

You only need a few slimes mainboard

{Zealous conscripts}?

Updated on main page. How's this looking?

I've been thinking of a Boros flicker thief do you can permanently steal stuff...

Yea my original idea was more of a theft flicker with both "act of's" lots of fun to attack then cloudshift to
Permanent keep your opponents dudes. "Oh I'll take you {phyrexian obliterator} thank you very much."
The only problem I had with it was playing against a few decks with little to no creatures. Nothing worse then holding two acts and nothing to steal. 

Why run 3 acid slimes?

The whole point of the deck is to bounce things or " flicker" them in and out of the battlefield with {cloud shift} or the {conjures closet}. {Acidic slime} destroys lands every turn sometimes twice or three times all while {Stonehorn dignitary} and {fog} prevent attacking and damage.

Ton of good blue flicker effects. {ghostly flicker} and {deadeye navagator} for example. I'd like to see your build.
Then chant, USA! USA!

Another card that could help you out is {divine reckoning}

Haha okay I'll come up with something!

Right right I didn't see it that way, acidic slime is a beast used like that then
