MTG Salvation

I'll see if I can get my list up tonight. It's been changing a lot each week as the monsoonal rain around here mean there's naught much to do but play EDH four nights a week! Honestly, my list is still quite away from optimized (I'm missing stuff like Gamble, Mana Crypt, Mana Drain, and Volcanic Island, all auto-includes IMO if you have 'em): both Welgo's and Doom Blade's list are probably the best templates. The others I've seen have either been very casual or going for something very slow, controlling, and "fair" (basically, Talrand decks with red).

The Intuition "combo" works like this:

First Intuition pile:
Enter The Infinite (you win with this card, but it's probably the best for the opponent to stick into your hand, as it's harder to play there unless you have a ton of Experience counters)
Past In Flames (you cast this, flashing back Mizzix's Mastery which in turn targets Enter The Infinite)
Mizzix's Mastery (easiest, just target Enter The Infinite)

If they made the correct play and give you Enter The Infinite in your hand (my playgroup hasn't quite caught on that that's the best play, I usually get Past In Flames), the next turn you (or that turn if you have the mana) Past In Flames Intuition getting mutliple wheel or loot effects to get Enter into your graveyard and then Mastery it.

After Enter The Infinite resolves there are a bazillion ways to win. Laboratory Maniac is the simplest, but I'm going creatureless at the moment, so that particular win was Reiterate/Turnabout into an infinite Comet Storm ( which itself could easily have been Stroke of Genius, Blue Sun's Zenith, Ignite Memories, etc. )

Intuition is so good it's usually what the other tutors in the deck are going for. ( Nothing says degenerate EDH games like tutoring into a tutor. )

Had my first ever turn two win with this deck. Turn one Mizzix (courtesy two mox and an Ancient Tomb) into turn two Intuition into the deadly Mizzix's Mastery/Past In Flames/ Enter The Infinite pile. One player suggested I run Leyline of Anticipation for a possibility of turn zero Mizzix, but I'm not sure the card has enough merit given there are only four relevant legal moxen and Leyline doesn't enable lands.

I've taken out Petals of Insight. It's a really cool card that I would still play in a more budget version of this deck, but I feel with the speed I'm going off usually I'd rather just have another, cheaper cantrip in this spot. As it was I cut it for Blasphemous Act as I felt I was missing a wrath effect for the games I fail to go off early. I'm not sure if that will stay.

One thing I find myself pondering are rituals. I used to include Pyretic Ritual and Desperate Ritual for the infinite Storm Reiterate potential, but now I'm starting to wonder if the ones that scale are better - Mana Geyser and Inner Fire - aren't more optimal late game. Both can easily end up huge, and instant speed I've found is rarely relevant just for a ritual effect.

I'm playing blue

Well, I guess it's good that some people aren't too concerned with winning

I picked white and my promo was Knight of the White Orchid.

Like so many other almost-good cards, it's just 1 too expensive.
