The Locust God + Skullclamp + Ashnod's Altar = draw the deck

Once you have draw the deck there are a few ways you can win the game:

1. Laboratory Maniac
2. Purphoros, God of the Forge
3. Windfall + Library of Leng
4. or just swing with a lot of 1/1 haste tokens

Game Plan:

So the deck is currently a Paradox Engine build, it used to be a High Tide build with a basic High Tide shell ( Candelabra of Tawnos ). Paradox Engine was just smoother when I tested both builds. So the Basic Game plan is to get some rocks and Engine out to get a lot of mana, then start finding your combo pieces. Wheeling and dumping your hand (everything is usually "free" with engine out) wheel again and repeat. (note that some games do not need Paradox engine in play you may have a combo in hand and go for a real quick win, but most the time you will need Engine out and online)

Back up Win

Paradox Engine + Swan Song imprinted on Isochron Scepter + a Rock = a lot of 2/2 birds

Slowing Down the Enemy:

This deck uses Nonbasic Land hate to slow your opponent down and so that you can combo off. It is very important to lock/slow your opponents when you are wheeling multiple time in your combo turn. This does give them a chance to draw into new counter magic, but if they can't play the spells that they draw into than you are fine, except for Force of Will .

- Blood Moon : This is a great card against those greedy mana bases/fetch lands. Although it dose hurt your opponents many decks can still play around a blood moon. So Blood Moon mostly just stalls their game plan.

- Magus of the Moon : A second Blood Moon

- Back to Basics : Love this card. It's real good with a Blood Moon, so they can't get value, but very good on its own, doesn't shut down fetch lands so most people have a chance to fetch a basic. Solid card.

- Ruination :This is the card that most people hate, this is the card that the table just looks at you and says, "really dude?" Many deck have a hard time recovering from this.

Nonbasic land hate is not great against mono colored decks, but it's certainly not bad. All these cards still hit key lands in mono colored decks, Like: Gaea's Cradle , Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx etc.

Dope Inclusions

Paradoxical Outcome : This card is soo DOPE! you can float mana from all your rocks, return them to your hand, draw some cards, recast them to net mana. It gets real gross when you bounce Paradox Engine and like 3 rocks back to your hand and then recast Engine then each rock after floating the mana before you recast the next rock. Also while getting a lot of mana you have a new hand as well.

Library of Leng : lets you wheel even if you have good cards in hand, just put them on top of your library and redraw them. Also a fun win con if you drew your whole deck and don't have a Laboratory Maniac but have a Windfall .

My Meta:

- Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge Storm: Doomsday Backup

- Meren of Clan Nel Toth Stax: Protean Hulk , Walking Ballista + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed

- Tasigur, the Golden Fang Control: Flash Hulk, Seasons Past loops

- Ruric Thar, the Unbowed Stax:

- Taigam, Ojutai Master Turns:

- Jace, Vryn's Prodigy   High Tide:

Timetwister

I know about Timetwister , I know it is a great card. Currently I do not own one, and cannot afford one right now.

Thanks for looking If you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to let me know
