Win con?

[Kaleo42]

My shot at the most recent challenge focusing on a budget competitive deck. Basic idea is just stall into lotus combo and lock the game with never ending control via flicker of {archaeomancer}.

Hmm cool idea

Y u no mana leak?

Y u no mana leak?

I replaced it with pristine talisman. Reasons being the deck wants to go to late game where leak is worthless, and many spells these days arent worth countering or cant be countered. There are easier and more effective ways to deal with things these days. I chose talisman because many popular decks (delver in particular) rely on small amounta of damage over multiple turns which is quickly countered by talisman as well as it's minor ramping that allows for an earlier lotus and full combo.
