The idea is to tax people and draw out the game until I can get a win-con out. Bounce is involved to get things such as winter/static orb back to my hand, allow me to untap, then play a wincon and (hopefully) recast the orb, make people pay for things twice, and to save my stuff when people try to blow it up while laughing. Overall a good mechanic for this deck, I think. Thus, everyone else stays tapped down, and I get to decide when I want to make a full-resources move. Mana rocks to keep me on top when I have Winter Orb out. I'm thinking about sacrificing some counter magic for card draw... I'll be updating this list as I cut things out and you guys make suggestions, I want to make this work the way I like to play (by myself, :P I'm heavy into control) so I'll be stopping by often to modify this list till it's perfect.
