Deck Description

Just an original go at effectively aligning Hedron Alignment. Lots of zone shifting capability and lots of counter spells for backup.

*Still needs 10 cards eliminated. Suggestions based on numbers/probability are more than welcome; they're appreciated.*

Deck discussion for Benign Align

Seems pretty cool. You say it needs 10 cards removed, but I think it needs more like 13-14 cards removed, because you only have 20 lands. Also, you have a lot of cards that put Hedron alignment into your hand and into exile, and cards that put it into your hand from the graveyard. but not many cards that put it in your graveyard.

Stern Constable, Pull from Eternity, and Read the Runes. That's eight at least right there. How it gets into the graveyard doesn't matter, so long as it's there at the beginning of the upkeep

I looked at nearly every zone transfer and found the cheapest or most versitile cards for each situation. The problem is having too many cards in the deck but not enough for each type of transfer for my taste. Figured getting them out of the library would be step 1 and since there's a LOT of counterspells that easily exile from hand. In fact, most options seem to be from the hand, and if something like the Cloyster is added, it can be easily guarded. So, after I get back to finishing this deck, it'll probably be easier to eliminate based on the idea of which cycle of zone transfer leaves most options and leaves me less vulnerable. Thanks for the comments and tips! I probably do need more lands in there.
