When I saw this and was trying to improve my Merfolk deck I went crazy with ideas! Thank you! I know have a Stasis Merfolk deck, check it out, maybe give me tips to make it better: deck:merfolk-invasion

How do you untap Chronoatog?

Don't need to. If he is unblocked just skip the next 15 turns and kill with him ;)

Sorry, I misread -.-

Don't swing with him. lol Chronatog is there to make me "skip" having to pay for stasis or draw a card. If my opponent is on lock down, Chronatog just makes my job easier. His ability costs me a turn, but doesn't say I HAVE to swing, so he stays untapped.

On kinda the same note... Say I DO swing with Chronatog , and he's now tapped and not un-tapping due to stasis, is his ability still usable? I assume so but double checking.

Yes, his ability is still usable even if he is tapped, so you could take a chunk out of them for shits and giggles

Another thing to consider with Chronatog is just using his ability on their turn every turn and giving them infinite turns.

The part of this deck I like most is the budget. +1

The budget is why I went with this for my legacy deck.

And it ended up being so much fun too!

Reliquary Tower would be good for the cards in hand effect

maybe splash red for Firestorm

my friend runs Vedalken Mastermind to return stasis back to his hand right before his untap step

Am I late to the stasis party?

I like to pull this one out as a evening finisher in multiplayer. Sooo much fun to end the night with.

I do the same thing, but now I have to re-sleeve it everytime cause they learn what sleeves it's in and won't let me play it. lol

As to Vedalken Mastermind , that's what the Chain of Vapor 's are for.

And I love the Firestorm idea. Might have to work that in some time.

this looks so fun, I love running aggro decks but this looks like it'd be a refreshing change of pace. I'm not usually in to playing slower decks but this is...irresistible, I really want to build this IRL +1

Best thing about this deck is that it's so cheap. so it's easy to build even if you just want to try it.

Beware though, your friends will only let you play it once.

I play this at FNM in between rounds against peoples standard deck and it has no problem winning.

Tamiyo, the Moon Sage does look like it'd be crazy in this deck. You'd get massive draw power and be able to consistently return stasis to your hand if need be, or any card for that matter if they happen to be slick and are able destroy something.

Oh joy!

What a fun little deck to play! I have a friend with a similar deck, but out of fanciness, his deck has 250 cards in it, in hopes that he'd win via Battle of Wits .

It has 4x stasis, Propaganda and Flood . It's both never wins, but always makes a quick 60-card game into an EDH-length game.

What about Venser's journal instead of spellbook I also had some Ideas but don't know if they are relevant.psycosis crawler for one let me know and I will tell you the others. not sure if I am missing the point but if you have cards in your hand why not have phycosis block anything that is thrown and maybe hit with him once or twice+1

i have a stasis deck too check it out if you feel like deck:pacifist-stacisist.Also love your deck, fun combo with Chronatog think i maybe need to get me some, altough i gotta find my Kismet their laying around here somewhere. im using Elspeth, Knight-Errant as a win condition tough. tell me what you think

what about Reliquary Tower ? in case you don't draw spellbook.

Derp didn't realize that was already suggested. what about Jace, Memory Adept ? Draw cards and mill them a little faster if you need to. What would you take out for 2x of him?

He works, but I play the deck around playing Stasis and then playing spells to lock down. I like to keep it simple, and adding other cards to get to win combos seems excessive to me. the deck works flawlessly as I have it, after playtesting a lot of course.

But I do love the suggestions, keep them coming.

Ivory Tower And Winter Orb

i don't know if this will be to expensive, although, Force of Will is the biggest BEEEEP when it comes to counterspells.
