Which part broke?Also, how do I enable chat. I am an html scrub

On my page go to the navigation bar which has "All Decks" and "Add Friend" you should find "enable chat" click that. As for the broken page, this normally happens whenever you use spoiler code. It means you are making all of the spoilers, but not closing them all off.

oh gosh this is so broken. First off, i think you might find more luck with LftL than crucible as it digs deeper. cant really give any better suggestions as there is the disclaimer symbol covering a good chunk of cards.

Disclaimer symbol? Weird, it shows up fine on my phone and laptop.

I hadn't thought about Loam, though I probably would use both for redundancy. Maybe over Jin Gitaxias.

Ah, found it. There's an issue in the primer, I moved it into word to fix up tomorrow. Thanks for letting me know! Any other suggestions now that there's a better view?

suggestions:

Labman, more removal for torpor orb/hushwing gryff(both kinda very hurt your deck), i'm sure arguments can be made for conjurer's closet somewhere(like in case someone stifles the soulbond or something. Speaking of, stifle is decent in a lot of cases. To me, slightly more useful than remand. Also why no Fauna Shaman, Survival of the Fittest, etc? 38 lands also seems a little high to me but its fine (36 seems like a better fit but up to you). Lastly, since deadeye is there already, im pretty sure I can put in arguements for archaeomancer + extra turns. also something something extra ghostly flicker.

If your only win con is prime speaker flickering after inf mana, what is your plan if blue suns is in the bottom 4 cards?

you have 12 counterspells. A little overly cautious?

Thats all I could think of on short notice.

I don't see orb or Griff in my meta, so I am not worried there. I tried the Shaman/Fittest combo, but in a heavy blue meta, advertising the plays I went for tended to put a huge target on my face and get a whole bunch of counters saved up for them , though if I had a tempting arguement otherwise, I might try it again.

My full win cons are:

Blue Suns

Palinchrombo+Venser, the Sojourner, locking down and swinging out

Reality Shift+Forbidden Orchard-Exile all libraries

Azusa +Strip Mine/Wasteland+Crucible-Win through attrition

I ran Labman for awhile, but it was extraneous with the everything else I was getting done and ultimately cut in order to put in more control, which in heavy competitive I've noticed is heavily paramount for counter wars bouth in setting up and protecting the combo play (especially if I am cut off from Teferi), and thus 12 counters has been wonderful for me.

gosh, protecting the combo must have been pretty hard to do. never mind about the counter thing then. Most of my suggestions are meta dependent so take them as you wish.

I've used them before, they're very easy to see coming, and if they're countered I'm out three mana, when with counterspells I've got cheaper answers that I don't have to sacrifice my ability to stop opponents' combo turns in order to play. Not to mention, they are dead draws to me, as a combo-control deck, if I am not using them to protect my combo, whereas counterspells are useful to me in any phase of the game.

aah. my mistake. Maybe I should suggest less mana intensive counterspells or harder to counter ones instead. Ones like dispel, voidmage apprentice, and ghost lit wanderer. Also expedition map can either eat a counterspell or grab your boseiju or cavern so it may be worth considering.

The new card Paradox Engine will be insane in your deck with the mana rocks/dorks. Imagine this, you play Zegana..draw a bunch of cards and untap all your mana rocks/dorks...play more spells you just drawn and keep untapping them...into your combo pieces.
