The eldrazi threat looms. Forces start gather as the plane readies itself for the fight for its survival. The most powerful beings are called upon, and great planeswalkers prepare their mighty magics. A group of wizards discus their plans, talking of great fireballs and thunderous lightning... "what will you do, Noyan?" "ermm... I can do this?" the roilshaper dramtically waves is hands about, an suddenly a magical butterfly illusion gracefully flutters around the wizards, before dramatically bursting into bright sparkles as it disappears. "... sooooo... how will that help?" "well, it's amusing, isn't it?" "... erm, yes. quite. very amusing even. I must say I was fleetingly distracted... but do we need to amuse the eldrazi?" "Eldrazi? no, but it amuses these guys". The roil mage gestures behind him at a towering mass of grass and earth that had suddenly appeared, a huge monstrosity that casts a great shadow over the forces. It seems to be grinning like a child, and lightly claps its hands together in delight, releasing a low, reverberating chuckle. "they seem to like my tricks. And they sure are a useful audience to have around..."

This deck is my attempt at a somewhat aggro spellslinger deck that uses cantrips to generate huge lands as quickly as possible, whilst effectively searching through the library for the few more powerful cards. I wanted originally to make a deck that was more control based, like a standard talrand deck, but I found it needed to be faster and have more burst, especially with the one turn extra delay with noyan's extra cost. I also noticed that on the wiki, he is referenced in fleeting distraction, and other 'small effect' spells, and I thought it would be hilarious to imagine him going into battle sleeping and distracting things, thinking he's doin' a real good job while a bunch of huge land creatures trample everything just behind him. Like the image, I thought the deck might be fun. But who knows.

any kind of suggestions would be great- good cantrips I missed, or some more powerful spells, even the odd creature, but I mostly want to work on speeding things up on a budget.
