The idea:

  • Combo: Battlefield Thaumaturge + Willbreaker + Gridlock / Icy Blast.

  • Survive untill combo.

  • Viable but as cheap as possible, max 30 dollars.

  • Focused at muliplayer, easy to sideboard to 1v1. Trying not to get as much hate in order to keep the game fun (a.k.a. keep everyone playing), hence Illusionary's Gambit which is a less "Nope" card than Gridlock/Icy Blast imo.

Based on: "Jedi Mind Tricks" 30 april 2016 from Mumbillyjoe on MTG Vault.

  • 4x Battlefield Thaumaturge

  • 4x Counterspell

  • 4x Disciple of the Ring

  • 4x Fog Bank

Vs. Elves, Burn and White Counters

Coudn't really cast AND protect my combo due to lack of mana. Traded Disciple and Frost Titan for 2 more Bannerets. Everything turned out to be cheap play, including Sage's Dousing being 2 cheaper due to combo with Battlefield Thaumaturge.

22 Island seems to function well with the 2 extra Merfolk Wizards.

Keeping 2x Jalira combined with 4x AEthermages to have 6 "Tutor" spells, for now... Not sure wether I really need Jalira. It might be better to Ponder or Preordain, especially with Wizardcycling not becoming cheaper.

No use yet for Safe Haven. Might change them and 1 or 2 Islands to Exotic Orchard, as long as I stay within budget.

Looking for suitable one-drops, preferably something that taps for a tap target (instead of changing color). This way I can defend better and might not need Fog Bank which has no synergy in this deck (apart from being a quite strong defender).

Trying to make this deck suitable for 1v1 and mulitplayer, keeping Gambit for that purpose. Sideboarding Gridlock/Counterspells/Icy Blast to trade with Gambit.

Found Sea King's Blessing, seems OP?

On a side note: I realize that the combo is going to anticipate/generate a lot of hate anyway. I try to evade this, protect myself, not to "Nope" everyone in everything they do during the entire game.
