Just a fun abuse of Tyrant of Discord. Suggestions welcome.
Throw down some mana rocks and b-line for the Tyrant, then bounce, bounce, bounce!Fun combo: with Tyrant out play Resto Angel, bounce Tyrant, when he comes back trigger Cloudstone and bounce Angel back to your hand for another round!

First off, get rid of one Sol Ring to make this at least Vintage legal. If you ditch both of them, it should be Legacy and Modern legal as well. I know that you need that mana to ever cast your Tyrant, however, you do not really want to compete with Vintage or Legacy decks. To compensate, add anything from Worn Powerstone to Thran Dynamo.Next, Resto Angel doesn't bounce, it exiles and returns to play ("flickers"). Cloudstone Curio bounces. However, Resto can't flicker itself and the creature that triggers Curio can't bounce itself. Which means, if you have a Tyrant and play a Resto, you can flicker the Tyrant, but Curio will do nothing. You need Resto in play, then cast Tyrant, then use the Curio to bounce Resto, and THEN play Resto again to flicker the Tyrant. Given the fact that you run 3 Restos and only 2 Curios and considering how mana intensive that is, you'd be better off ditching the Curio altogether and upping the Restos to 4.Speaking of that, a regular Flicker would do the trick as well. So do tons of other cards including but not limited to Flickerform that allows you to do your trick every turn. Flickerwisp does the same as Resto, but is cheaper. Phasing also works but most cards with phasing are blue. If you keep this Vintage or Legacy you could use Tawnos Coffin. And there are more cards with the desired effect. But you already run Cloudshift and Conjuror's Closet, so I wouldn't bother adding more ways to flicker. In fact, you run too many of those, your deck does next to nothing without a Tyrant in play and all your flicker effects will just sit in your hands. To remedy this there are two options:A) Either replace some of your flicker cards with other permanents that generate a good effect when flickered. This is probably the way to go since there are hundreds of cards with useful come-into-play effects.B) or you could emphasie more of your subtheme you seem to have there: You run some cards that deal some damage and tap creatures at the same time. You need more defense anyway. What about Smoke? Meekstone? Something like that.Have a look at Sunblast Angel because that one actually runs well with A) AND B) :)

Thanks for the feedback. Legality isn't really a factor for me. My table plays with pretty much anything, as far back as Alpha till now, so changing Sol Ring for something else really only hurts me. This is a just-for-fun, casual deck after all.As far as those Cloudstone interactions go, it still works. Tyrant in play > Cast Angel > Angel ETB to remove Tyrant > Tyrant ETB > Cloudstone trigger > return Angel to hand. I don't trigger Cloudstone off the Angel entering, just Tyrant coming back. I wouldn't say 'no' to replacing it and I know its not the best, but I like it for flavor.After playing it, as you said, its pretty open until the Tyrant is out. I'm not a fan of the Stun Snipers I have there now, but not sure what to replace them with. Cards like Smoke and Meekstone draw too much hate and would only turn the table against me, though good ideas to build on.
If that's the case why don't you run 4 Sol Rings then? Suggestions what to add:* Nikko-Onna gives you reuseable enchantment removal. Alternatively:* Duregar Hedge-Mage is reusable enchantment AND artifact removal in one and you aren't forced to destroy something, but it only works on a condition* Aven Riftwatcher will get you some serious amounts of life and thus will help you to stay alive* Flametongue Kavu* Soldevi Simulacrum is pure card advantage and helps you to get your mana together for the Tyrant* Master Splicer gives you a 4/4 dude every time you flicker him* Seller of Songbirds might replace Lingering Souls * Stonehorn Dignitary can also buy you enough time and can turn your flicker effects into Peace Talks.* Avalanche Riders add reuseable land destruction. If non-basics are prominent in your meta you might want Ravenous Baboons instead.* Sunblast Angel is still nice in this deck even if you ditch all cards that tap creatures. If you have him in play and someone attacks you, all you need to do is to Cloudshift him.To make room you could drop the Stun Snipers, Aurelia's Fury, Lingering Souls. Without the Souls you don't need the Chromatic Lanterns anymore. That's 10 slots.Finally, if you have done that, have a look on Dust Elemental.
I like those suggestions. I'm leaning toward early game life gain. So, lets say, dropping the Stun Snipers, Aurelia's Fury, Lingering Souls, and Chromatic Lantern or Cloudstone Curio.Cathedral Sanctifier and Lone Missionary have some pretty beefy ETB life gain for their cost. I do like my Master Splicers, but 4cmc is almost too much, I'd rather be playing my ramp. Blade Splicer would fit. But Seller of Songbirds adds flying for better chump blocks (hence the original Lingering Souls).
