This is a value-oriented Flash/Protean Hulk deck aiming to abuse Vannifar to fetch the tutors requried to go off. Fierce Empath and Spellseeker are our normal targets for Vannifar, but we often find hate pieces against our opponents deck's wincons, or trying to race, dependent on our hand.

This deck can win turn one often, or turn twenty, it just depends on who we place against and our hand.

---

The actual combo with Flash and Protean Hulk is pretty simple:

Ezuri, Claw of Progress, a Sage of Hours, and at least four of our six zero-drops: Walking Ballista, Dryad Arbor, Memnite, Ornithopter, Shield Sphere, and Phyrexian Walker. All of these and the Sage will get you 5 experience counters, letting you get infinite turns with the Sage. With infinite turns we often win with a set of interaction to remove our opponents from the game, and go with a combat damage win with Green Sun's Zenith backup to not mill out.

---

The deck contains a large amount of tutors, ramp, card draw, etc. all to get the combo, and about 26 pieces of interaction aimed at hating on the opposing decks, allowing us to go off and not let our opponents stop us or go off themselves.
