Counters? Counters are for sissies who like to play good cards. Now I ain't no sissy, that's why i removed all the counters from my blue deck and made it a burn deck. "Blue burn?" I hear you question. "what the hell kind of backwards world are you living in? That's not in the color pie!" Well, if that's how you feel then you can just stick to your lame counters while I burn your house down with water. Here's how this deck works, its blue and it burns, but there is a bit more to it than that. You see these old blue cards that deal damage are, for a lack of a better word, garbage. But with a little imagination they become a little less garbage. The big main two are Willbreaker and Dismiss Into Dream. You see, dealing 1 or 2 damage is only really enough to get rid of some weenies but with Willbreaker you instead gain control of your enemies creatures! But if some good ol' fashion mind control aint your cup of tea, use Dismiss into Dream so when you ping that 20/20 for 1 it gets sacked. You could also just as well throw Sigil of Sleep on one of your pingers for even more shenanigans! One other neat trick with these two cards is to get Tidal Force out and give him a way to deal damage by tapping. That means every upkeep you can deal damage, and with Willbreaker or Dismiss Into Dreams out you either getting something every turn or your making a threat vanish. End bringer also works just as well in this scenario. Now these pingers honestly are not that good with out ways to repeatedly use them so that's where our un-tap cards come into play. cards like: Aphetto Alchemist, Fatestitcher, Reality Spasm, Freed from the Real, Pemmin's Aura, ect. Now speaking of Aphetto Alchemist and Fatestitcher, it is possible to go infinite with them and one of the pingers by slapping an Illusionist's Bracers on the stitcher or the alchemist and watching them go to town tapin' and un-tapin' machine gunning everyone down. There is also 2 infinite mana combos with the obvious Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake combo and the 8 lands lv 2 Echo Mage + x=4 Reality Spasm for all the mana you might need. This mana can be used with Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura for infinite untaps (or Goblin Cannon) for more machine gunning! Hopefully you find this deck at the least interesting, its mostly just a joke but I'm sure it can win some some games, I think its got potential! let me know what you think!

--------------------------------------UPDATE---------------------------------------------------

Cards added : Daring Thief, Paradise Mantle, Arbiter of the Ideal, Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage, Knacksaw Clique, 2 janky but fun slivers, Thornbite Staff, walking balista, Basilisk Collar, and some commander staples.

Cards removed : horrible jank cards

The reason these cards were added was to take advantage of the tap/untap shenanigans this deck gets into. also, a pinger + Basilisk Collar + Thornbite Staff = funfunfun.

A word about the alternate commanders: To be honest, Reveka, Wizard Savant sucks balls. So, if you wanted 2 slightly better commanders that fit the theme of this deck quite well, i suggest Arcanis the Omnipotent (to abuse all that untap) or Sygg, River Cutthroat (benefit from dealing damage). Either of them work fine and they all fill different rolls well. Really it is up to whatever you're feeling at the moment.
