I should preface by saying this is one of the dumbest decks I've ever made. It takes advantage of some really dumb cards (both overpowered and underpowered), but somehow it's won me more than half the games I've played with it on Cockatrice. So there may be some potential here. I'm definitely out of ideas though, so am seeking some wisdom of the crowds here for new ideas to try:
The basic idea is to mulligan aggressively into a hand with some fast spells and a turn 3 Wheel/Timetwister/Windfall. All of the non-mana zero- and one-drops are actually fairly functional (I'm looking at you, Shield Sphere and Gustha's Scepter); Some random card like Ornithopter isn't going to make the cut just because it costs zero.
On the down side, you have virtually no defense. Nin is, fairly often, merely a chump blocker. Although sometimes she wins games and/or takes out a key enemy Thalia or somesuch.
On the plus side, you have a ton of ways to win:
Temple Bell/Mind Over Matter/Eldrazi (deck them)
Nin on their creature for infinity (deck them)
Hardcast some Eldrazi and swing
Sneak Attack some Eldrazi and swing
Show and Tell an Emrakul
Molten Psyche for 30
I guess that's it (it kinda seemed like more when I was throwing cards in here). But it is cool to have a deck that can win via decking, creature damage, or spell damage.
11-4 in the last few days with this. Losing Grim Monolith really hurts, as it was a combo with Power Artifact and Mind Over Matter (it's not unusual to have 5 cards in hand to just hardcast Emrakul). I wonder though if Power Artifact should even be in there anymore, and to a lesser extent Transmute Artifact.
