Have fun shuffling!

[Coffee Vampire]

Ok here I am in the classroom...time to explain this deck. First thing: I certainly will have fun shuffling!!! :)
Okay so obviously if I draw {Battle of Wits} great. Easy win even if they o ring it. I can easily use many spells to get rid of spheres and o rings.

However my main wincon is the lovely {Mirror-Mad Phantasm}. I cast him and then use him to mill like 200 cards from my library. Within those 200 cards will be {Psychic Spiral} and {Mystic Retrieval}. Gg. I can also use {Snapcaster Mage} and {Archeomancer} to cast spiral.

Another wincon that has to do with milling is {Increasing Confusion}. If I mill it yet spiral gets countered, I can usually cast at least one confusion to finish the job.

If I need to just reset, {Archangel's Light} late game can easily ne me a good 80 life. Or against midrange, I can use {Touch of the Eternal} to make sure they never get there.

{Search Warrant} has proved valuble in many situations. Also against aggro I have a ton of low costing defenders. And a mid to late game {Ludevic's Test Subject} can be a wincon by itself.

Mana base is MURRICA. Red is mostly for mystic retrieval flashback but it has its other uses too.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Wow that is... I love it!
I never saw Madthasm in that way before!
Great use of spiral and retrival!
Could i nab that combo? ;D
Id like to say more archaeomancers but maybe they'd just be in the way?

More of them is a good idea...especially for reusing drawspells to mantain proper card advantage. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think they will get in the way too much since it is 290 cards. I'll take this suggestion to heart and playtest it!
