Simple tempo deck. Use counterspells and Silumgar Sorcerer along with a little ramp from Elvish Mystic to get ahead of your opponents. Curving out is ideal, and many creatures have flash allowing you to leave up countermagic and then flashing them in at the end of your opponents turn. Horizon Chimera and Chasm Skulker also take advantage of the decks ability to draw a decent number of cards. Finally, Kiora, the Crashing Wave , Icefall Regent , and Sagu Mauler all at as reliable cards to top out the curve. Satyr Wayfinder powers up Treasure Cruise and keeps us on track with our land drops. This deck is designed to be competitive in the current meta while also avoiding the use of synergies already seen heavily in the meta, i.e. Deathmist Raptor Den Protector. Let me know what you think and what could be better!

Went to my first event with this deck. 3-1 overall with the loss being to a powerful blue devotion list. Overall the deck performed well with the stars being Horizon Chimera, Bounding Krasis, and Chasm Skulker. I'm a little unsure if Font of Fortunes was good enough to stay in the list. It was great to get it out turn two if I didn't have anything else going on, but later in the game it did not feel efficient enough. The sideboard needs some work, but overall most of the cards came in handy on multiple occasions. I'd say that overall it's a fun, semi-competitive deck.
