Deck Description

Basic Idea:
A deck I made for a friend of mine. He somewhere had heard of a deck that focused around letting your opponent shuffle his deck all day long. After seeing this one he said that this would be a deck that "you'll never win a game with but drive your opponent mad", and I agree with him on that.

Colour splash:
Adding red would be an option as there are some interesting cards, mostly land destruction, that force your opponent to shuffle his library.

Tests:
At the moment this deck exists only on this site and has never been played against another deck. Regardless I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to further improve this deck.

How to Play

After you hit 3 mana you can start to remove your opponent's key cards with Unmoored Ego and Infinite Obliteration, while Vortex Elemental takes care of any attacking creatures.
Cosi's Trickster, Psychogenic Probe and Psychic Surgery take advantage of any of those spells as they also force him to shuffle his library.

Deck discussion for U/B: Shuffle Control

Surgical Extraction and / or Extirpate are cheap (mana) cards that can force a shuffle. (NB: these can also hit nonbasic lands)

Archive Trap works well alongside Field of Ruin, and it'd give a lot of targets for Surgical Extraction and / or Extirpate.

I know but both cost an arm and a leg when buying them. It may seem strange but I decided very early on that, while building decks on this site, I would only build such that I also would be willing to built/ buy them.

Ye, the extraction cards are too expensive ._.
Luckily I have a set of Surgical Extraction already :)
