I mean, "wickeddarkman" follows a similar naming convention as well....And to not be completely off-topic, the answer is still "no" for including [[Tinker]].

Always nice to see some casual decks that aren't just beatdown. I'd probably maindeck in some [[Disenchant]]s or perhaps [[Cathar Commando]] in favor of Dawn Charms, having those responses would help against many decks. ..And if I ever lose to someone's Decimator Web, I'll offer them a drink and kneel out of respect!
So in the best case:T1 LocketT2 Cathartic Reunion -> discard Approach x2T3 BirgiT4 Get 3rd Approach in grave, since Salvage will exile one OR play another LocketT5 Salvage -> fill your hand with Approaches, get one red mana from Birgi, dump hand due to Locket's cost reduction and Birgi -> win.Unlikely to occur of course, but it will be worth it. Cool deck idea!
Thank you for the suggestions, all of these could work well. I probably wouldn't run Tribute to Horobi though, since the idea sort of was to play big things immediately.
Hi, the deck description has been updated. I mostly chose cards from the Nicol Bolas Archenemy, since the older ones have really jumped in price. Could do with some reprints!
Thanks for the detailed comment! Soul-Guide Lantern definitely seems like a versatile pick. Tormod's Crypt also came to mind, since it's 0 mana and it matters even less to us if someone else gets it, but it also can be completely useless unlike Lantern. I'll definitely consider it.I agree that the cards in this deck should be as useless as possible for the other players, but it's difficult to choose. Something like Skywise Teachings could work in monoblue. Continuing this line of thinking, cards in the deck that are most likely to shoot us in the foot are probably Fog Bank, Aether Spellbomb and counterspells, so choosing something narrower to replace them might be the right call.
Tutoring Pool might be one of the fairer (but still legit) uses of Tinker that I can think of, but it still seems like an overkill. Thanks for the idea, though.
I appreciate your suggestions, but the idea isn't to lock out the opponents. Cards like Eidolon of Rhetoric and Rule of Law are out as well.
