The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

A deck I plan on building in paper soon, to do silly things at FNM with. RW seems like the best combination of colors to me, but black allows for hand attack and Hunted Horror, Treacherous Pit-Dweller, and Demon Lord of Ashmouth, while blue gives Hunted Phantasm and Trickbind, and Green gives ramp and Ancient Stirrings.
For a more budget RW version, take out Path and Spirit guide, and replace the mana base with whatever you have on hand.

How to Play

Ideally land a T2 Torpor Orb or T3 hushwing Gryff, then play EIGHT EIGHTS for FOUR MANA. Bolts? Nope. Tasigurs? Nope. Even the dreaded Zombie Fish can't touch these fatties!
You also get free incidental hate against Snapcaster and Twin, which are pretty huge in the meta right now.
Heavyweights is easily my favorite creature in the deck, as the only deck in the format you care about getting creatures from is Tron (or possibly Amulet), so the card is playable without Orb.

Deck discussion for Hypertorpor

Eater of days is so dangerous, Sure game 1 it's great but once your opp knows what your doing your gonna be going up against a plethora of artifact hate which will be played while that's on the stack. I'd suggest Vexing Devil, I run two Torpor Orbs in my Boros deck with Devils and I love the look on my opp face when they realize they don't have a choice and it's a 4/3 for 1. Either way Torpor decks are super fun, Good Job.

Also another creature which may be worth consideration is Leveler, a 10/10 for 5 mana

My problem with Vexing Devil is that it is just too small. It trades unfavorably with Delver, and is stonewaller by Grixis Control or Abzan. Similarily, Leveler is just too chumpable and leads to poor races often. That being said, there are a few other creatures that can slot in, and Eater is too easily destroyed. Spellskites might help that plan, however.
