Maelstrom Wanderer: Scornful Egotist? No Sol Ring? is similar to this deck, but only loses to two Counterspells as opposed to just one for this deck.

The_Dragonmaster I'm not exactly sure where you were headed, but the deck wins through cascading into kiki and pestermite, then make infinite pestermites. Adding more things make the deck unreliable, as you wont cascade into kiki or pestermite as often

Have you given thought to the decklist posted above? It is still very budget while being more fun and more resilient...

Ywah, just be careful of control. Also, Ghostly Prison and similar cards wreck you. Maybe consider Destructive Revelry or some other removal, id you want to make it more competitive

put some faster lands, so you can win while they ramp/ tap out! Utility lands could be great too Try:Blighted Woodland,command beacon, crystal vein, dwarven ruins, havenwood battleground, mouth of ronom, myriad landscape

Ancient tomb, Temple of the false god, dust bowl, khalni garden, manlands, skyline cascade, kher keep, springjack pasture, urzalands...(also: halimar depths, fertile thicket and scrylands could save your combo)

jparagon33 Turn 8: Maelstrom Wanderer us cast. You cascade into the only two non-land cards in the deck, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Pestermite. Then even if Maelstrom Wanderer doesn't resolve, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker can still to make a Pestermite. The copy enters the battlefield. That copy of Pestermite untaps a creature (or taps one. But for the combo, you tap.) and then Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is untapped by it. The process repeats infinitely, leaving you with infinite untapped Pestermites. If Maelstrom Wanderer resolved, they can attack that turn. Otherwise, you can attack with them next turn.
