Wow. Hands down, the best deck description I've ever read. As aptly pointed by the poster above, you, Sir, win.

Sometimes, I think this deck has a personality problem; it taps and it blinks but is not too much on either side. From what few I've played with it, it seems to be coming out fairly well, losing only because I am so rusty and not playing often enough. I totally agree with you for the lateness of some combos. And I have yet to use Stonehorn effectively. If only because by the time I can play him, I'm either playing a 3-cast and leaving some mana open or because later on, I have a Titan available to play. Doesn't mean is no good.... may be just because the right situation hasn't popped up yet. I'll keep my eye on him. As for the Titans, I really don't know yet. It may be you are right though. I'll playtest some more. And Venser is great. I really appreciate his first ability, having used it multiple times with Wall of Omens already. And there's a lot in here that can abuse this ability as well. Anyway, thanks for your comment! Have a nice day!
Nice! Well, I'll keep coming back here to check on your progress. What interests me more is hearing about what cards work/don't work in this deck. The famous Mana Curve is of interest to me as well as I seem to have some congestion at the 3CC level.... too many things playable there. I may eventually test my deck in some FNM but I am in no hurry to do that. Anyway, enough rambling; keep up your excellent reports!
Just to let you know I'm closely watching how you are doing with this deck, as I have one that somewhat mirror yours. Your previous post was highly entertaining.... :-) I love playing taps but felt like adding more draw/control to it to just accelerate the whole damn thing. Keep up the news (and the spirit!) on this deck!
Am wondering if 14 cards playable at 3CC is overkill...... still learning the in's and out's of Mana Curve so.... any comments on that? And I definitely think I'll be adding a second Sun Titan to the mix. One of each doesn't inspire confidence in the ability to pull them out when needed....
I'll certainly keep him in mind. Still on the fence about using him but he may be able to provide the middle range punch I seem to be lacking while waiting for Sun Titan / Sunblast Angel to come out.
Do you think that Sejiri Refuge would be good in here? Anything else you see amiss or that might be bettered? Thanks everyone!
