After doing a bit of trading, I decided to make a mono-blue Architect of Thought deck. It nets me a decent amount of wins in casual circles and generally frustrates everyone who plays against it. This deck has a few goals, but can win without them: Cast Talrand, Sky Summoner and release a blaze of Instant spells to release an army of drakes / Fleeting Distraction + Triton Fortune Hunter = Cheap and repeatable Divination / Jace, Architect of Thought can keep you alive long enough for you to use his ultimate ability and get out not only YOUR best card, but theirs / When in doubt, cast both Staff of the Mind Magus and gain 2 life for playing anything at all. / Bounce your enemy's tough cards with Disperse or Into the Roil to delay them, then counter them with Rewind. / Hidden Strings + Invisible Stalker = Ultimate mind screw.
