not yet, ill be picking it up shortly. the whole deck should run about 30 bucks, which is a much needed miracle. the only late game im relying on is spire barrage. a turn 5 play of spire barrage should be enough to put the opponent down to about 5. a turn 7 spire barrage would be a game ender.

my fave game sequence is turn 4 cerebral eruption, turn 5 spire barrage, turn 6 any burn spell for the win, not bad for standard

with only 8 enchantments its highly unlikely that u will be able to screw them out of enough lands to make that big of a difference. even with the cascade cards you can only hope for about 3 enchantments out by turn 6 in a best case scenario, meaning they will have about 5 lands plus an aditional mana source (b of p, llanowar) so they will still have enough to play almsot anything in their deck. the lands you have added are now islands so they still produce mana. the opponent can still use them for the colorless options in cards ( considering how many artifact decks are out now) and above all can use them to cast blue spells (which are integral to most control and mid level decks anyway).

i say your creature choices suggest late game because they cant be cascaded into, so you will have to wait until at least turn 5 or 6 to get them out, but realistically more like turn 8 for the big sphinx and 6 or 7 for the small sphinx

im not really sure what this deck is going for. obviously you want to cascade into the enchant land cards but what then? 8 cards in the deck as control elements wont win a game. your creature choices suggest a late game win, which contradicts your land control theme.

ya this deck needs some serious work, the sliver choices arnt that great, the planeswalkers dont fit, the land choice needs 16 other cards, and fog desperately needs to be some counters

i dont like basilisk collar in here, i think it slows the deck down a bit

come on now guys, we all know the cards in here are just for fun

necropotence number 2 is up, its called trafalgar law

necropotence turn 3 means a turn 4 win

if by no point you mean a turn 1 deck that works about 50% of the time then yes

also swap out 4 islands for 4 seat of the synod

i would also use seat of the synod rather then 4 islands

max out black lotus, up ancestral knowledge to 4 and brainstorm down to 2, and personally i would switch out ornithopter for lotus petal, it still works as tinker fodder but adds the possibility of a mana source

the theme is sound, but its not cost effective. if your gunna get black lotus and ancestral recall then you need to build a flash hulk deck, painter/grindstone, or goblin charbelcher deck, all of which are turn 1 decks if used properly.

if you want to improve on your current deck you need to drop the extra baggage like darksteel sentinel, and steel wall. there are much better choices for tinker fodder like sol ring and lotus petal. you also need brainstorm as a speed source to make sure that if this combo doesnt go off turn 1 it will turn 2.

personally i would use pact of negation in here rather then force of will. youv got the mana accel to pull it off and it wont cost you another card

5000 isnt even close to how much this deck is worth.

4x black lotus = at minimum 8 grand

4x ancestral recall = at minimum 2600

2x time walk = at minimum 1200

4x mishras workshop = at minimum 2000

4 x mox sapphire = at minimum 2000

your lookin at a 16,000 dollar deck here my man, unless your a multi-millionaire this deck is impossible to own

4 tolarian academy comes out to 160 bucks, which itself is too much.

decks like this are fun to think about, and tons of fun to play with proxies, but there arnt many people who could actually assemble this deck

or u could drop it to 4 and then add 4 lava spikes and 2 chain lightning

overgrowth isnt necessary in here, switch it out for lightning greaves. your 2 win conditions in here r creatures which makes them extremely vulnerable to removal like doomblade.
