Why is Waste Not in this deck? you don't have any discard spells. I get flooding their hand with potentially 6 Dictate of Kruphix but really?

This is one of those strategies that I have to admit is fragile, but that I really, really love to see when it gets going.
I might recommend replacing one of Taigam's Scheming and one of Sultai Charm for two of Thoughtseize or Despise. This gives you a way to quickly deal with a troublesome threat before you get your mana going (which can be helpful against fast and/or aggro decks). Getting some information on where your opponent stands to help you figure out what cards you need now and what you should keep for later never hurts either.
Some sort of life gain to help you survive long term would be nice too, but I can't think of a decent card that works well with this strategy (probably not enough creatures here for Whip of Erebos to work its magic).

Agreed that Waste Not doesn't have much place in this deck. More control would be a much better investment.

Damn this deck is fresh! It reminds me of the time I worked at a bank and they cut our lunch hours.

Haha. Cheers guys!
Waste Not is there just for funzies. It adds more value to Dictate of Kruphix too. Although more control would be more practical.

The concept is great! How has this deck been turning out in competitive play? Took it out for an FNM yet?

CoDbOmAsTeR Probably because it would slow the deck down ALOT.

You really need more swamps. Tried to playtest without looking at your manabase, and after 6 refreshes, you still had mana issues. 12 islands is too much. Drop 4 of em and get wedge lands. You'll thank me :P

Hahaha! those basic lands are there because of laziness.. I should update those lands! I will do it now!

love the idea of this deck, because you've so many enchantments anyway, would you consider doomwake giant to help stabilise your board in the midgame?

Awesome deck list!One thing I don't understand is using Singing Bell Strike under Dictate of Karametra circumstance.Why not just use another deniers likes Hero's Downfall or Bile Blight etc?
November 24, 2014 2:06 a.m.
I was thinking.... Hydra Broodmaster and all that excess mana (End of their turn, Tap Nykthos, Flash it in, Monstrous it... WIN!)........ dear lord.....

ahimahas - good point, it would be better to have more control/deniers instead.
My line of thinking was to play Singing Bell Strike to be an early nuisance, tap mana rampers or whatever, Dictate of Karametra would be played late game, the turn right before Villainous Wealth generally, so I didn't see it as a problem.
Necrotech - Yes, That would be amazing. And I do love crazy stupid things! My only concern is that it will take the thunder away from Villainous Wealth? Maybe it can sit in the sideboard. What could I side it in against? Hmm, I might just add it in from time to time for funzies, hmmmmm. Well I do like the suggestion. I might add 1 copy in and see how it goes.

How about Kiora, the Crashing Wave let's you play double the land

Personally i would run 1 kruphix, add in two commune witht he gods to search for him or other creaturesm then swap the downfalls for murderous cut as you have more htan enough counters to deal with planeswalkers.
