They'll talk and talk 'til your opponents ears bleed their ear drums bursting in victorious fanfare. The deck centers around Paradox Haze with Azor's Elocutors coming in for the win.

I've play-tested a bit and it confirmed that it's weakest against control decks, stuff with lots of creature removal, and aggro. There's quite a bit to save me from an aggro here (Angel's Grace, Chronomantic Escape , Reality Strobe , unless I've popped down a Paradox Haze, the latter two won't do me much good. But Chronomantic Escape + 2x Parodox Haze or a fully leveled Lighthouse Chronologist = Opponents needing to kill me with non-combat damage. Reality Strobe works pretty much the same, but has the disadvantage if an opponent has a lot of creatures, but the advantage of being able to bounce lands back to an opponents hand. It's relatively easy to keep at least one of these out and have it phase in at least once per turn (watch out for counter spells!)

If you're able to control the battlefield enough to get out Azor's Elocutors, than Dovescape makes it game over, provided they don't have anything on the battlefield that can do you damage (but paired with the suspend controllers this isn't an issue.)

Call to the Kindred is a fun combo to get out creatures in a pinch and paired with a Paradox Haze is raucous.

I feel this could use a little more early game control, and more sideboard defense against removal and even control - though Grand Abolisher deserves his spot there. This is the most pretentious deck ever. A bunch of scholars and self-righteous dingdongs.

Feedback much appreciated!
