"Before the end of your turn I will..."

"I'm going to respond by..."

"Upkeep, Draw, Land, Turn, Your Go"

Welcome to a magical place where speed is Irrelevant and we never do anything in our own turn, apart from playing lands maybe attacking or perhaps winning.

---

Is there anyone out there who can honestly say they don't love flash? Stop lying! you know you do.

Leyline of Anticipation Vedalken Orrery and/or Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir these are cards that are often included in decks just so you aren't limited by pesky words like sorcery speed.

Well what if we remove the need for them altogether and create that magical place where Speed is Irrelevant and nobody's turn is safe!!! well not completely true, but close enough.

Sorry that was incredibly silly, but sometimes that's what happens kind of like with this deck.

So what's the main idea?

What I was trying to do was build a deck where every card in it could be cast at instant speed and I succeeded 99% of the time ;).

Ephara, God of the Polis Why the deck works.

---

For the intermediate players there is a repeatable lock combo in the deck, but I'm not helping you with that one, figure it out yourself it's simple yet rewarding.

---

I wonder if...

The deck is set up in a way to always make your opponent wonder.

Headaches like:

"What if he has a counter"

"All his mana is open"

"But he might have a blocker in his hand"

"What if he wipes the board"

"If he's got Stonecloaker I'm screwed"

"Is it safe to play my spells"

Are common place when faced by this terror of Speed manipulation.

It becomes strong due to you not having to worry about sacrificing plays for counter mana. If you don't need to counter anything you just play whatever you want before it's your turn again problem solved.

---

Now before you go out of your way to diss it or rip it to shreds remember it's build for fun it's not meant to be competitive, nor is it made for winning every game if you want that go somewhere else, but thanks for looking.

It's new, it's early in the testing phase and I'm not really sure what's going to make the cut or not that's part of the fun though.

Suggestions are more than welcome, but try to stay within the bounds of the theme ;)
