"In Rath, there are only so many souls to go around."Equilibrium: Whenever you successfully cast a creature spell, you may pay {1} to return target creature to owner's hand.I will use Equilibrium to steal and/or bounce my opponent's creatures to his hand.I will also use Equilibrium to storm with Brain Freeze. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Combo explanations:1) Equilibrium + Gilded Drake + Any Creature = Step 1. Play Equilibrium Step 2. Play Any CreatureStep 3. Play Gilded Drake (activating Equilibrium) and target "Any Creature" and return it to your hand. Now, exchange target opponent creature with Gilded Drake. Step 4. Replay the "Any Creature" from your hand, activating Equilibrium, target your opponent's Gilded Drake, returning it to your hand.

Storm your opponent with Brain FreezeStep 1. Play Equilibrium Step 2. (Assuming 4th turn and 4 mana on the board) Tap one island for High Tide. Tap one mana for Cloud of Faeries, untapping both tapped lands. You pay 1 mana to activate Equilibrium bringing back Cloud of Faeries to your. You now have 6 mana. You play the Cloud of Faeries again and activate it with Equilibrium over and over and over. Each time you pay 2 mana to play and return Cloud of Faeries to yourh and. Do that 20 times.Step 3. Play Brain Freeze milling your opponent's library empty.

Ran out of room for Card Description.Card Description: Sapphire Medallion = Lowers cost of blue spells by 1 colorless. It makes EVERY CARD IN THIS DECK, cost 2 mana or less to cast (except for Time Spiral). Bounce/counter cards in this deck are specifically tailored to Sapphire Medallion, intentionally. Equilibrium = Your main card in the deck. Loads of fun to be had storming and bouncing/stealing your opponent's creatures.Cloud of Faeries = Main card that you cast over and over, for the Storm Count. Drift of Phantasms = Search engine for Equilibrium.Gilded Drake = He trades himself for one of your opponent's creatures. With Equilibrium in play, you buy back Gilded Drake to your hand, for 1 mana. So, you steal your opponent's creatures and keep Drake to do over and over again. Army stealer. Win condition # 1.Sage of Epityr = A one mana Sage Owl. A first turn early drop. Chump blocker. But mainly, when he is cast, you get to look at the top 4 cards of your library and put them back in any order. Sort of a creature with built in Index. He helps you get what need, on the top of your library. Shrieking Drake = 2nd drake in the deck. And who says Dragons are better than Drakes?! He is used just like Gilded Drake. Use him with Equilibrium to bounce 1 of your opponent's creatures every single turn. Arcane Denial = only 1 mana if Sapphire Medallion is in play. He counterspells your opponent's spell, and nets you one extra card draw your next turn. Acts as both drawing power and denial power. Brain Freeze = Win condition # 2. Use his Storm ability to mill your opponent's library to 0 cards.Cyclonic Rift = only 1 mana if Sapphire Medallion is in play. He bounces any nonland card. Helps protect your stuff or remove opponent's threats. High Tide = Makes each Island count for 2 mana instead of 1. Mana ramp/loop for your Storm.Time Spiral = Brutal, acts as a finisher. Gets you 7 new cards in your hand with 6 lands untapped. When Time Spiral is played...it is usually game over for your opponent...because he will get you the mana/cards for your Combos. Almost every time. Faerie Conclave = Land that can be turned into a creature. Emergency chump blocking, at it's best. Buys you time for your combos, just like your Cyclonic Rift and Arcane Denial. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Very cool. :). Only thing that I could think to add to this really wouldn't improve it anyways. Well done. :)
Very combo driven, I know. And thus, easily disrupted with enchantment/creature hate. But the few times it "goes off" it is fun. Thanks for looking at it Kazzong. I see your brother is finally getting a little love!
yeah, a little bit weak against disruption, but on the whole a great concept. :) I think that arcane denial does a good job of keeping that disruption at bay. Perhaps you might think about something to give hexproof. mizzium skin or some such? cheap, and covers all your creatures for a turn. very powerful.and thanks for the feedback on my brother's decks. :)
Maybe it could work. I will look into it, for sure.
Hiya, I've not played in forever, aside from simulator (Forge) recently. This is a cute idea, though I don't think you can do Cloud of Faeries with Equilibrium trick as you describe in #2. 1) You cast and pay for Cloud of Faeries, so now it's on the stack2) Equilibrium procs off of this, asking for a target and optionally to pay 13) You're only allowed to target *another* creature at this point4) Cloud of Faeries comes into play
The answer is to have one faeries in play before casting a second.I see a problem with the mana however.You untap 2 lands, and a faerie cost 2 mana, so there needs to be lands in there that can produce UU. You can't trust high tide to be there every time.
