Inspired by this deck list http://archive.wizards.com/Magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/rc/297

I have always loved Riddle of Lightning. Now, with Blast of Genius, there is enough repetition to possibly run this deck competitively.

Deep-Sea Kraken + Dictate of the Twin Gods + Riddle of Lightning

Blast of Genius + Dictate of the Twin Gods + Temporal Trespass

I looked at competitive Splinter Twin decks and applied their strategies to this win con instead. Using Blue for draw/counter/stall to fetch my combo pieces, then hit for +20. I picked Deep-Sea Kraken over other cards since, in a pinch, I can suspend him early game and walk for the win. I haven't pieced it all together yet and I'm OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS.
