I'm looking to build a Linessa deck based around putting cards back into people's hands. I'd like the deck to be as defensive as possible, able to keep myself alive long enough for me to be able to overload a cyclonic rift into a sunder. I'm trying to build it in a way that my opponents aren't punished for killing off each other, but lose their board if they look at me funny.
I'd like to run a bunch of ETB effects similar to AEther Adept, a bunch of boomerang effects, and a ton of effects that make people just not want to turn their cards to the side in my general direction.
There's a really underrated wizard, can't think of the name now, but he costs 1UU to cast, and if you pay UUU and tap him, you get to Boomerang, very strong.
This type of deck screams Dissipation Field. The only problem is smart players will catch on and attack you so they can abuse their enter the battlefield effects, so maybe you should run Torpor Orb
I have a general list down, need to drop 9 cards.
I was thinking about torpor orb as well, and since I don't have many dudes that come into play and do stuff or can just bounce it anyways it might be a cool addition. elite arcanist, waterfront bouncer, and temporal adept are neat but would never survive to activate in my meta. echo mage would be another neat one if I could keep him alive. I don't think linessa will very live very often either, which is why I didn't include illusionist's bracers.
I appreciate the help so far though, and could use more cutting some cards.

UBRKess, Dissident MageUBR - Controlling Dissidents
GRhonas the IndomitableG - Indomitable Four Drops
WUBOloro, Ageless AsceticWUB - Loot & Renanimate
Was also going to suggest Torpor Orb, because green players with their Sylvan Primordials would be nasty.
Maybe also Isochron Scepter and Elite Arcanist?
