This is my longest standing EDH deck and has permeated my consciousness to the point that I constantly get excited over newly spoiled enter the battlefield abilities. I built the deck after playing Restoration Angel and Thragtusk in standard (yeah I know I was that guy).

The deck is really plays as a control deck in practice, though it doesn't always have to. Early game the goal is to ramp. Mid game the deck controls board states with flicker value and control spells. In the late game we hope to find Deadeye Navigator and either combo off or win through value flickering. Our planeswalkers can also win games on a regular basis.

The deck is full of flicker value. Everything from using Fiend Hunter to exile a an opponents board to having constant counter on board with Mystic Snake.

There is a sub theme of planeswalkers in the deck that is perhaps often unnecessary and could be replaced by more flicker strategy enablers. But for two reasons I refuse to make that change. First the planes walkers often enable the flickering while also being powerful cards that demand an answer. Sure I could add Restoration but each planeswalker seems like a more impressive card in the deck. Second I just really like the planeswalkers in the deck and want to play them so there.

As far as additions to the deck in the future, I really am not sure. Obviously I would love to add Jace the Mind Sculptor and Force of Will along with other blue control staples, but many of those are just too expensive for me right now. Beyond that I just keep an eye on any ETB's or LTB's in new sets that are better than past options.

Any thoughts on card choice are welcome. And I am more than willing to discuss as I have tried many different options over the course of the decks life.
