MTG Salvation

I don't know if you're still interested in comments, but I thought I'd chip something in:i n short, the deck is very slow and vulnerable. It's a 3 card como that is vulnerable to artifact and creature hate. Looking at your "ideal sequence of plays" I notice that it is at best a turn 5 goldfish, with basically no interaction with opponents except for 3 remand and 2 path. Almost every deck can race you if your best start is a T5 goldfish. You also need +1 card to kill with, which is a gifts or one of your 4 X spells.

Compare it to other similar decks, namely control/combo decks: Splinter Twin and Scapeshift. The former races you with a 2 card combo, which they have 8 pieces of each, and the latter goldfishes T5 while playing disruption and cryptic command into a protected Scapeshift. Another similar deck is the Ritual Gifts deck, which is similar in that it wants to play gifts->win. The problem is that it's easier for that deck to win off gifts (Past in Flames is awesome), and again it runs more disruption and Merchant scroll for tutoring Gifts/silver bullets.

On top of that, Deathrite Shaman has made Gifts Ungiven strategies very vulnerable of late.

In terms of improving the deck itself, cut the Borderpost+Wayfarer. They don't do anything exciting at all. Secondly, you don't need so many big X spells. You're not running enough ramp for them to be playable outside of the combo, so they're dead draws (especially Diabolic Revelation). Devil's Play is probably good enough since it has flashback, or just use BSZ sunce Drift of Phantasms can find it. I'd consider cutting Gifts, since relying on it makes your already slow combo even slower.

Sorry to be such a downer, but the deck just doesn't look like it does anything as well as other similar decks

A few changes to the deck has helped with the consistency issues.

-1 Sand of Delerium
-2 Serum Visions
-1 Augur of Bolas

+1 Raise Dead (Gift package of Raise Dead. Freed from the Real, Synod Artifice and Drift of Phantasms gaurntess that I get what I need)
+3 Drift of Phantasms (Tutors for Synod Artificer and Freed from the Real. The two hardest components to get)

EDIT

Major updates to the deck. Please take a look and comment if you like too.

My thought is get more of those cards then maybe get more tutors like you have good ones but still get more in place of getting draw cards. I know you would rather get a specific card from your deck the draw randon cards and hope for the best. Just my thoughts.

The deck isn't focused on killing with creatures, but ramping up the fast mana for the big kill spell.

I will edit this post later (or just repost again later) when I have looked at all your opitions.

EDIT: The combo of the deck involves these cards:

Artificer Synod
Freed from the Real
Gilded Lotus

These three cards produce unlimited mana. Lightning Greaves is to assist with getting the combo off on turn five.

The ideal plays are this:

Turn 1 drop land and play Wayfarer's Buable or pass turn.

Turn 2 drop land and play Dimir Signet if Wayfarer's Buable was not played turn 1. Otherwise pass turn.

Turn 3 drop land and play Gift's Ungiven

Turn 4 drop land and play Gilded Lotus and Lightning Greaves

Turn 5 drop land and play Artificer Synod and Freed from the Real (attached to Artificer Synod). Equip lightning greaves and have inifinte mana.

Also get rid of Ensnaring Bridge Exchange that a for a Ivory Tower

Ok I just glanced across, and I notice 2 problems so far. 1 you need Reliquary Tower. So then you have more than just 7 cards in hand. This deck draws plently cards right, so draw some more. Exchange Freed from the Real for Consecrated Sphinx. This sorta solves the 2nd problem. Get more creatures. What are you going to equip Lightning Greaves to? Get something like Stormtide Leviathan in the deck. Because this deck doesn't deal the right amount of damage to kill somebody. Four 1/3's and a 1/2 that is not meant to attack is not enough. That's all I can think of right now.
