How low can your library go? On turn 4 it can Go... All... The... Way!

Altar of the Brood
.
Altar of the Brood
: When I saw this card I knew I wanted to build a deck around it. Milling people pisses them off, which fuels my inner troll.
Midnight Guard
: A one-man Intruder Alarm, he is crucial for the combo.
Retraction Helix
: The spell that sets everything into motion.
Ornithopter
: So glad they reprinted this guy! Lots of shenanigans are possible with free, non token creatures.
Banishing Light
,
Dissolve
,
End Hostilities
,
Glimpse the Sun God
: Defensive spells to draw the game out until we can combo out.
Swan Song
: Cheap counterspell that protects any part of our combo from being countered or killed. Who cares if they get a 2/2 flyer, they won't be able to use it anyways.
Dig Through Time
,
Taigam's Scheming
: Vital digging spells for setting up the infinite combo.
Temple of Enlightenment
: Free scry towards our combo pieces. The rest of the lands are basic mana.
SIDEBOARD:
The sideboard is still a work in progress. For the mean time it contains variances of counterspells that can board out
Dissolve
.
Essence Scatter
,
Voyage's End
: For Aggro or creature heavy decks.
Disdainful Stroke
: Mid range is going to be the big thing in Standard. Want to hold off the ramped out fatties as long as we need to.
Negate
: For control matchups. Self-explanatory.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome, keep in mind I am not looking for alternate win-cons, I want this to be a dedicated combo deck.
