Point me in the right direction, but I didn't see a thread for this deck, which surprised me. It is getting talked about so much in the rumor mill and on the T2 General Discussion, but there isn't a thread for it!
Deceiver Exarch and Splinter Twin to win. End of their turn flash in the Exarch, then on your turn cast Splinter Twin and make infinite Exarchs by untapping the Splinter Twined one with each new one. Then you can swing for however much damage you please with your hasty Exarchs.
The deck above is all about finding and protecting the combo and really hurts when facing UB control due to the discard. I am still testing out this combo on MWS and it isn't bad, and myself being a combo player, will probably be playing this combo deck after NPH comes in.
So I guess talk and develop this deck for the upcoming standard season.
I have been testing this, turn 4 win is possible.Been doing good. This is in ALL-IN deck, as in, you are trying the whole game for the combo. Though there is sufficient burn for creatures.
This deck digs if it doesn't have the combo cards. It does pretty good at finding the pieces. Most hands are keep unless you don't have the lands/only have burn.
No mountains to assure a turn 2 Sign in blood. We also don't need mountains as 13 sources of red is enough.

You don't lose life from Hedron crab[/CARD]s ability from Megrim or Liliana's caress. Hedron crab doesn't make you discard, he makes you put cards into your graveyard from your deck.
So his deck really doesn't work like you think.
EDIT: Nath'd
and yah, Hoodoo is right, tome scour doesn't make you discard either.
I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I have trouble motivating myself personally.
Anyways, I am no expert, and this sounds really vague, but I recommend running and watching what you eat, like don't eat dessert (if you do). Run/walk/jog EVERYDAY. If you want the muscle go to a gym and lift weights, I personally don't believe there is any "secret" or get thin quick "trick."
I never really have a problem with Jace as I usually kill it asap. But I guess that shows its power. I personally think Stoneforge (Well, SoFaF) snatches more games. And with the new red-white sword coming soon, we might be all doomed.
