The goal of this deck is to use Arixmethes to help us make infinite mana and win the game. The gameplan is to play Arixmethes, and tick down his slumber counters as we find our combo pieces.

Combos:
Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter , and any combination of mana rocks / Arixmethes that produces 3 or more mana.
Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle + Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura, infinite green mana.

Infinite mana targets:
If blue mana available, Capsize
Otherwise: Walking Ballista does the trick,
Duskwatch Recruiter   can find Ballista.
Crystal Shard with the Dramatic Scepter combo returns all opponents creatures.
Lux Cannon with Dramatic Scepter destroys all opponents permanents.

Finding the combo:
Drift of Phantasms finds Freed from the Real or Crystal Shard
Fabricate or Whir of Invention finds Isochron Scepter
Muddle the Mixture or Mystical Tutor finds Dramatic Reversal
Trinket Mage finds Sol Ring or Walking Ballista
Tribute Mage finds Isochron Scepter or Swiftfoot Boots if you need them.
Spellseeker finds Dramatic Reversal.
Trophy Mage finds Crystal Shard or Fireshrieker
Uncage the Menagerie with x=3 can get Spellseeker and Tribute Mage, and Trinket Mage for 5 mana.

How do I make this deck better? More resilient? More consistant? Any cuts/adds?
Any and all help appreciated!
