Should try Noxious Revival instead of Reclaim. And if the goal is to mill, other draw spells are far better than Divination. Take a look at Thought Scour, Blue Sun's Zenith or Visions of Beyond.

Thanks guys!and yes, I have been told it is very annoying :D
@PsymonM77 the goal isn't to mill per say, but the win condition is to mill specifically with Increasing Confusion... right now Divination works because I always draw 2 cards which can help me a lot... where as Thought Scour is only one, Visions of Beyond is dependent on what I have played so far, and Blue Sun's Zenith is just too mana intensive, the 3 mana cmc from Divination works perfectly. I will be using Noxious Revival instead though, I completely forgot about that one :D

Do you have something to sideboard s for an alternate winning strategy?

I went against a werewolf deck that is top of the line, and I playtested against my own, and I noticed that even if I am transforming their wolves, I have another fog effect ready to go in my hand... 16 cards in here are fog effects so 16/60 is 26.6 repeated chance of me getting a fog effect in my deck, so 1 in every 4 draws gets me a fog effect, so in short, that is a lot of fog effects, plus I can Reclaim or Noxious Revival one from my grave if needed :D.... and i havent thought of a sideboard so these are all options I am considering, thanks :D

noxious revival is better on the off chance of not having mana open and you can force them to draw the same thing you just killed so you can kill it again. other than that, it's solid. maybe look into lost in the woods

totally agree with the Noxious Revival change, thanks for the help guys, I made the change a little while ago :D
please +1 if you really like it to get the deck into top decks so others can see a great budget deck :D

What's the purpose of having Beast Within instead of more draw/mill?

Beast Within can get rid of a creature, a land, an artifact, or an enchantment, very useful like a Green Oblivion Ring, but you can also take out land.

Also takes out Planeswalkers which are the main threats to this, or something that makes me not able to cast my Fogs
February 23, 2012 11:47 p.m.
Ah, that makes sense. Watch out for Grand Abolisher.

Also Noxious Revival lets you stall your opponent's draw for a turn by giving them a worthless card from their graveyard.

Nice deck. I love decks like this. I might build one of these, but I'd like to take out 2x Moonmist for 2x Increasing Confusion. Don't know, that might slow down the fog element too much.
February 29, 2012 3:48 p.m.
I find that maxing it out works well, besides, normally you don't even get an Increasing Confusion in hand until later in the game because of Rites of Flourishing, and if it gets milled, you can Noxious Revival it, or you can flashback it for double the mill :D

Jace's Erasure is quite potent in a turbo fog deck, especially with the rites. add 2 or more of those i would say. its like an early game investment.

how do you deal with people dissipating your increasing confusion? or surgically extracting it... you only have two cards to win with, what happens when those are gone? or graftdigger's cage?
February 29, 2012 6:36 p.m.
theurbanraptor has a point. Maybe add one or two Jace, Memory Adept?

Try Think Twice intstead of divination
February 29, 2012 7:45 p.m.
Curse of the Bloody Tome perhaps?? Also, I don't see this deck doing well against a self-mill deck, or burn decks. Have you tested against them?
February 29, 2012 8:31 p.m.
the_spanish_inquisiton says... #24
dquinn the point of this deck is that it doesn't cost a lot. that's why Jace, Memory Adept wouldn't work

I was playtesting this and I found that I had trouble when I knew the opponent had counterspells in the deck, but not necessarily in his/her hand. I think it'd be cool to have as an alternate win, as I was often getting to more than 30 life with Elixir of Immortality and Blunt the Assault.
How about splashing white for some board clearers? (cough Day of Judgment cough) Could be helpful.
+1 for making decks just to be annoying! Check out shuffling for a laugh!

Nice deck! Turbofog holds a special spot in my heart. Check out the modern version(deck:helpmodern-uw-turbofog).
