A flicker deck that is designed to get a massive amount of draw, and then drop some big bombs.

Categories listed as below. This is played more like a traditional control deck.

Some questions/comments that may arise:

Why no Supreme Verdict, Mulldrifter, Thought Vessel, Reliquary Tower, or any of the clone effects like Clever Impersonator? Also, why so few enter the battlefield effects?

The answer to both, and why I grouped these questions is two fold: First, access to cards. I bought these cards at my LGS, and had to select what fit the theme and what they had available. And what I could fit in a certain budget to get a deck going. I know long term to get fewer flicker effects and more ETB effects, but I was running on limited budget, and would have preferred to have a deck up and running, and upgrade it down the road.

Why did you choose those planeswalkers?

First: I had them already from other decks. Second: They fit the deck in some way:

Elspeth, Sun's Champion can create blockers, has a wrath effect that doesn't touch most blockers, and can pump the creatures if you get her ultimate off.

Jace, Unraveler of Secrets Helps to make sure I'm drawing cards I need, and can get a big threat back in the hand of an opponent for a turn.

Gideon, Battle-Forged   Can make a creature indestructible until the next turn, either Brimaz, King of Oreskos or one of the Bombs. And he's a creature as a one drop when he enters the battlefield.

Why so many counters

Options. It allows me to do what I choose to do.

My filler category will get replaced when I get the money to order cards worth the trade.
