Deck Description

This deck is based around several mechanisms to remove your enemy's options, by removing your opponent's permanents (via Agent of the Fates, High Priest of Penance, and Desecration Demon) and other options (via Duress, and Thoughtseize). The win-cons are Desecration Demon and Avacyn, get the mana for Avacyn with Crypt Ghast if you don't have enough naturally, not only does she bludgeon your opponent to death but she makes your priests indestructible, so I think that's something.

Deck discussion for Penance

Putting in gutshot just for the purpose of shooting your own priest seems . . . Heroic, clever. I rescind this statement my comment was never here.

Ok I really don't have the time to really tune your deck. But I am fascinated by Agent of Fates. I hadn't know of it before.

So after some investigation here's how to abuse Agent of Fates
Memory Crystal
Artifact, 3 (3)
Buyback costs cost {2} less.

Whim of Volrath English
Instant, U (1)
Buyback {2} (You may pay an additional {2} as you cast this spell. If you do, put this card into your hand as it resolves.)

Change the text of target permanent by replacing all instances of one color word with another or one basic land type with another until end of turn. (For example, you may change "nonred creature" to "nongreen creature" or "plainswalk" to "swampwalk.")

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?
10/4/2004: Can target a card with no appropriate words on it, or even one with no words at all.

With Memory Crystal in play
can play Whim of Volrath target Agent of Fates then return hand for zero buyback and do it again for as many times as you have blue mana

Please look at my Show and Elrazi Deck

Alas that isn't much help in this deck at least, I'll take a look at yours!
