This is based on the classic Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles combo decks of yore. It uses Enduring Renewal, Blasting/Grinding Station, and a 0cc artifact creature to go off. It can win on turn two, and fairly consistently on turn 3/4. Keep in mind, this isn't a tuned or tested list, merely a starting of point. I would love to hear any feedback and suggestions you guys might have.
I tweaked the list just a bit. Cut the Sowers, upped Vendilion Clique to 4, cut Spell Pierce down to 2, and added a 3rd Ponder.
Vendilion Clique seems too good in this version of the deck not to run 4. It adds extra disruption, which is always good for a 'combo' deck. 3 Spell Pierce almost seemed like too many with 4x Mana Leak, 4x Spellstutter Sprite, and the Cliques. So I cut one for an extra Ponder which gives me a little more dig.
I was thinking about this for the SB:
4x Flash Freeze
4x Firespout
4x Sower of Temptation
3x Relic of Progenitus
My reasoning behind playing more as a combo deck is that extended is a largely undefined metagame right now. Nobody is really sure how it's going to shape up. I'm sure WW, Jund, 5cc, and maybe Fae will be around. But in what numbers? There's also random Trap decks and various rouge decks. So I'd rather play a more 'explosive' deck against an unknown meta. What would make it run smoother as a combo deck?
I suppose what the question becomes is, am I an aggro/control deck with a combo finish, or a combo deck with a backup plan. I'm leaning towards the latter. I want to finish the game fairly quick with Twinmite, but if that doesn't pan out go more of the Fae route.
I think the counter suite provides pretty good disruption/protection while Lightning Bolt helps slow aggro, if only just a little. Maybe Firespout would be a good addition.
There's a GPT coming up in my town and I want to roll with something a little different and unexpected. Do you guys think this deck is viable at all? Or is it strictly worse that U/B Faeries?
Thanks!
Thanks!

It's pretty much just a Mono U Faeries with a combo finish. I haven't worked up a sideboard yet.
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks!
