Deck Challenge: Flavor deck

Hello again fellow deck builders! Today's deck challenge is for you all to make a deck full of flavor!

Obviously try to make it good at the same time, but give it life and a story...true good ol' fashioned flavor!

And have fun while you're at it! :D

this deck is based around Ixidor from the Onslaught book, i used spells, creatures, and events from the book, while still trying to keep the deck "good" (which means i had to add some cards that are not from the book, but work well with the theme)

its a great book, an epic story, and a pretty good deck.

Who didn't think of the song when the card came out? Well I put together a theme deck, not really caring if it was a solid deck, but it turns out it works after a fashion fairly well.

I followed the lyrics - so a card is in this deck for one of two reasons:
1) It's a Horror
2) It's mentioned in the lyrics to "Time Warp", directly or with a little license.

Its astounding
Time is fleeting (Magosi, the Waterveil)
Madness, takes its toll
But listen closely, (Alluring Siren)
not for very much longer
I've got to keep control (Mind Control, Controlled Instincts)
I remember doing the time-warp (Time Warp)
Drinking those moments when (Magosi, the Waterveil)
The Blackness would hit me (Etherium Abomination, Kederekt Parasite, Kederekt Creeper - Horrors and blackness hitting you, bonus!)
And the void would be calling... (Voices from the Void)
Let's do the time-warp again. (Time Warp)
Let's do the time-warp again. (Time Warp)
It's just a jump to the left. (Swerve)
And then a step to the right. (Swerve)
Put your hands on your hips.
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again. (Time Warp)
Let's do the time-warp again. (Time Warp)
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me. (Sleep)
So you can't see me, no, not at all.
In another dimension, with (Akoum Refuge)
voyeuristic intention, (Halimar Depths)
Well secluded, I see all. (Halimar Depths, Crumbling Necropolis)
With a bit of a mind flip (Mind Control, Controlled Instincts)
You're into the time slip. (Magosi, the Waterveil)
And nothing can ever be the same.
You're spaced out on sensation.
Like you're under sedation. (Sleep)
Let's do the time-warp again. (Time Warp)
Let's do the time-warp again. (Time Warp)
Well I was walking down the street
just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an
evil wink.
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise.
He had a pickup truck, and the
devil's eyes. (Scourge Devil)
He stared at me and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again.

I won't repeat the refrain. At the time I made this (Shards of Alara timeframe) this was Type II. If I was unrestrained by type I could totally work in a bunch more cards, - like some madness cards, a snake, and some instants or flash cards for the astounding/surprising parts - but I think that would water down the deck unless I did it just right.

Too lazy to make a deck for this, but here's some cards that could turn a deck into a machine gun:

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Ophidian Eye

and just cast Reminisce to 'reload' your 'gun' :p
