So there are a few variations on this deck already out there, but Im creating my own based on cards I already have and as few new cards to buy as possible. Any suggestions please keep budget in mind, preferably less than $20 more.

The main combo piece works like the other lists, with Briarbridge Patrol + Tamiyo's Journal , utilizing the other pieces to create many clues, to sacrifice to the Tamiyo's Journal, and then cheating out a large creature, either Kozilek, the Great Distortion, Linvala, the Preserver (which can also be hard cast if needed), or Metalwork Colossus, which has the additional upside of being able to bring it back from the graveyard by sacrificing two clues.

The other notable card is Confront the Unknown, which can finish the game by giving an unblocked creature a massive boost.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
