Good lord this deck is resilient —June 13, 2015

I've lost 2 of 15 games played with this deck, proving to me just how much more resilient this deck is against being shut down than I thought it would. Short of Nihil Spellbomb effects, I've come ahead with relative ease. I think I'm at just the right level of control to group hug, so at this point I'm likely just nitpicking for awhile. Keep the suggestions flowing!

i recommend using a mindslavor lock to as another combo just in case. Academy Ruins + Mindslaver and you floating colorless mana will pay for your combo all day

They're good suggestions, but much like adding Mind Over Matter to help with Temple Bell I think I'll pass because the parts themselves don't help me as much as they do solely together.

Take Palinchron, Peregrine drake, Deadeye, Capsize, blue suns, and phantasmal image. Even without a combo ready, the pieces themselves serve as utility to help move the deck along. Peregrine and palinchron help stick mana from kruphix, Deadeye bounces all the good things, Capsize takes care of threats, blue sun's draws me tempo, and phantasmal let's me clone anything I need, say an opposing teferi.

With Mindslaver if the combo isn't out, I've got something that suddenly draws hate for an ok payoff that only maximizes when going infinite, and academy ruins, while I own and would be able to easily include, doesn't have enough high priority targets to matter otherwise.

Great suggestions though, and much appreciated!
