The deck is designed to overlap itself. What is the #1 issue with discard decks? Lack of cards in your opponent's hand. Ancestral him twice, Sudden Impact, then Whistful Thinking with a Megrim on the table.. That's at least 14 damage for seven mana, or for two more mana twincast the Impact or the Whistful thinking. I'll take it anyday over trying to win by discard when my opponent has nothing in their hand.

Urborg is useless in this deck. Why do you have it in? Am i missing something?

Aside from that, it's a tight Ninjitsu deck.

I'm almost done putting the deck together. I think the only way for me to realy test it is to go against every type of deck I can find and tweak it little by little. Maybe the suspended mindstabs will end up working better than whistful thinking. Maybe I don't need the specters or the megrims for the deck. I want something with diversity to confuse the metagame. A lot of people will be playing discard, but I have fucking sudden impact as a main kill condition in it. It's black science man.

Stuffy doll + Shivan meteor + Twincast.

Twincast. Any blue deck without it is just plain foolish.

If I weren't trying to keep it type 2 I would have had those cards in already.

Well, that's the thing, straight discard megrim is too expected in Standard now, and I wanted something different to incorporate with the Underworld Dreams. I'm just having trouble feeling out the best way for the combos to go. I want to figure a way for Underworld to be in play, Megrim in play, set off a Vision and a Mindstab on the same turn, then lotus for Careful consideration. For that to happen, I need to time things so perfectly, but could result in a 4th or 5th turn one tap for 19.

I dig this twist on the traditional Stasis deck. I LOVE Leveler/Tel-Jihad combo. Nice one mate. The only thing I would advise, is maybe getting rid of the Guardian Idola and the Ur-Golem's Eyes for Boomerangs and Frozen Aether, the blue Kismet.

Black Vise is what I play in my Stasis Deck. I dig this twist though.

This is a variant on Stasis, the same mechanism. Well oiled.

I recomend playing Drinker of Sorrow instead of Negator. You'll sac way less, and the minor drawback of not being able to block shouldn't matter when you've got two of them out on turn three, swinging for a turn 4 kill. If you Sinkhole, and Hymn on two or three of those four turns, you won't have to block.

I would add Tutors and Sol Ring. Otherwise, I love this type of deck. It requires Type2 stratagey and careful planning with Type1 power. It takes a lot of skill to do suicide well.

As with all of your decks that I've been privy to, you lack a unified focus. Your decks lack will. Focus on a goal to reach, whether it be infinite life, massively over powered creatures, countering and disruption, suicide burn, etc, and then narrow out the cards that will BEST serve your purpose. Just like any goal in life. Natural election; the weak links MUST be removed for your ultimate success.

Thank you. The Blind Seer/ Douse combo is pretty unstopable, but, just in case my opponent finds some way to disrupt it, I'd side in the blasts/laces for strait spell countering.

I think your mana supply is off. For a deck like this you need to play at least 22 lands.

Add Akroma's Blessing and Lay Waste. I like the Hellkite. Exalted Angel is necessary, at least 3 of them. Those are the soft spots that I see in your armor.

A good deck though, no doubt.

It's good delay, but how do you intend to win? The Tim's?

If you're hoping to deck your opponents you may need some more more help. Howling Mines will aid you in whittling down their libraries faster. Just watch out they don't play graveyard removal, then your Canes are worth sweet fuck all. And if they play Canes themselves, as most do in multiplayer, you're in a for a long, rough buggering.

If you're trying to stay Type 2, this looks pretty good. Glimpse the Unthinkable is fucking great. That spell is becoming one of my favorite of the newer sets. If you want to hose any mono color decks, sideboard Grindstones. They deck fast.

What an awkward place to ask, but are you actually a drummer?

On to the deck: You will lose to Black creature destruction decks. I suggest you play Ivory Tower to help you find more life, and also Library of Leng. Those two cards combo like fuckin fucking bunnies. Armageddon is good, just be sure you have the patience to use it at the right time. Lay a Knight of the Holy Nimbus out then Armageddon. It is crucial that you wait for your opponent to lay more land out than you so Tax works.

This deck is complex, but obvious. It seems like it would work very well. The only thing I see that mey be tough for you is your mana costs. You're running some high cost cards, and granted I'm not as familiar with Standard play, but I've seen fast decks do irreprable damage to opponents in 5 turns, which is around how long I suspect it takes for your deck to shift to high gear.

Abyssal Specter may work well. I've played decks like this and tried to get it perfect through so many incarnations and variations that I've found often that it is hard to keep cards in your opponents hand. You have the Anvils which is good, but I feel like it's not enough. Also, instead of Pox, try Death Cloud. Pox is cheaper, but less poignant.

I like this. Lich's are hard to make work, but fuckin' well fun to try with, not to mention unique to boot.
