This is my EDH deck, after 1 year of constant tweaking.All cards in the side board have been used in the deck already, and are waiting to shine again. That is the reason why its a shame, that I dont know exactly what to cut or add.

The deck found its origin after I took the Conjurer's Closet home with me after our casual draft at a friends place, with the challenge of making this (in our play group's) seeming useless card work. I started using it in standard with a turn 4 Stonehorn Dignitary lock.But after it rotated out, I was left with this empty closet.This was enough motivation to make it work wonderfull in EDH.

The problems I have with the deck is findig a balance between FUN and LAME, having Draining Whelk's etc all over the place won't improve my relations in my playgroup, but yet I want to leave a strong impression when I play against the ''Money'' decks,

So any feedback/additions or story's about coming out of the "Closet" (wait wut ...) would be appreciated,

Greetings, Ivo

[current deck-tech]Resurrection>etb triggers1. Evoke Reveillark, reanimating both Karmic Guide( and one of the <3 power creatures.Karmic Guide reanimates Body Double.

1. Body Double copies the dead Reveillark.

2. Activate Mirror Entity x+ times for 0. The first activation resolves and kills your team. Or stack ashnod altar's ability so they all leave at the same time, The Body Doubled Lark's leaves play ability triggers.

3. Reanimate both Body Double and Karmic Guide. Karmic Guide can now reanimate any other creature, hence the unlimited flickering

(5. The next Mirror Entity activation resolves, killing your whole team. Step 2 is repeated as well as step 3 (minus the Mirror Entity activations), )

Another option for the unlimited triggers is with a Parallax Wave + Opalescence

Another idea is to use Archaeomancer or Mnemonic Wall + a destroy effect + Faith's Reward

The deck wins, with a board lock (due to close to infinite etb triggers from Venser, Shaper Savant Deceiver Exarch or with a giant Entreat the Angels Blue Sun's Zenith Mirror Entity (due to a Palinchron + flicker engine or Rasputin Dreamweaver + flicker engine + Gemstone Array

And a lot more, The cards that I really like in the deck are, Conjurer's Closet,Strionic Resonator, Venser, the Sojourner and a lot more to be honest ;p
