This is what I'm playing. Very different from your deck, but very controlling and so far it's been doing well online. I think the manabase could use some tinkering but i'm lazy The point is to kill, kill, kill everything, and then you absolutely drown them in card advantage with seasons past, a delirium-ed scour the laboratory, or a fortune's favor powered up take inventory. i tried epiphany at the drownyard but it really underperformed.
