Finally getting on the Chulane train.

I decided to lean into the card draw element of his abilities and make a 'card draw matters' deck, with a blinking subtheme. The idea is to get some value creatures into play and start blinking them, all while churning through my deck with Chulane.

There are some interesting combos/interactions that I noticed with some enter the battlefield effects that Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Brago, King Eternal, and Soulherder can take advantage of. Repeatably bouncing Toothy, Imaginary Friend for ever increasing card draw seems pretty good. Other cards like Jadelight Ranger. Eternal Witness, Coiling Oracle, Risen Reef, Prime Speaker Zegana, Sun Titan, and Agent of Treachery all work great with them. I'm also getting some value on those creatures coming back with cards like Bramble Sovereign, The Great Henge, and Guardian Project.

The win con of the deck is a combo finish involving Thassa's Oracle or Laboratory Maniac. Originally it was an overwhelm strategy with a critical mass or creatures but time and again the alternate win con with the Oracle seemed to pop up, so I revamped to go all in on that strategy

I know that there are more optimal cards that could/should go in here, but this deck is brand new and relatively untested, so I don't know what the weak links are. I know I want to eventually fit a Consecrated Sphinx in here, that's for sure.

Any suggestions on cards to improve the deck or advice to streamline it would be greatly appreciated!

Update: With the shift into a blink strategy and keeping Thassa's Oracle in mind, I discovered a way to combo out in the deck. While having any one of 3 cards that will allow me to draw a card when a creature enters the battlefield, Felidar Guardian and Restoration Angel can create a loop of exiling each other, drawing out my deck, then dropping the oracle. I added a couple of methods to search for these pieces (Defense of the Heart and Eladamri's Call) so hopefully I can get this to work. Also added a counterspell package as well as a few more blink effects with to go along with Isochron Scepter.
