I was half expecting DracoMeteor for some reason.

[PACclassic]

Hehe I should post that. It's super effective!

I don't understand the misty rainforest?
Surely an eldrazi land would be better, {eldrazi temple} or {eye of ugin}

[PACclassic]

Misty rainforest thins the deck an enables me to get extra blue mana if I need it.  Since several of my components require discard, eldrazi provide a way to shuffle the graveyard for little or no mana.  The rest is an infinite mana/card loop to attack with tarox for lots or otherwise burn everyone to death. I'm in trouble if I actually use emrakul for a creature

[NillaWafers]

That's confusing! So what do I need to {Force of Will} to make this thing go away? Tarox? 

[PACclassic]

The ony thing you can do is split second kill the elves. Generally, counter spells do little to hinder the loop. I will usually be able to mana leak a counter spell or simply ignore it and keep going. At worst, a counter forces me to restart the loop and go again

Sadly that was what I was hoping you wouldn't say, lol. But my head was going in circles trying to "play a hand" and figure out what was the key here but I gave up.
