I have a slight dilemma. What do take out to fit Counterspell in?

Jace would be furious with me if I forgot to include it. Not to mention, it's the classic blue instant.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

And WHAT! That's insane!

The price is like Elixir of Immortality. Apparently people haven't caught on that it's better than relic of progenitus.

I mean in general, not for this deck.

Dude, Stoneforge Mystic with anybody with double strike and Infiltration Lens. =).

Elixir of Immortality combos with Countryside Crusher, not Seismic Assault!

4 Countryside Crusher + 4 Elixir of Immortality + 52 Mountains.

Timetwister is strictly worse than Elixir ONLY with respect to this combo.

And this deck assumes you have a treasure hunt in your starting hand. If you don't, mulligan until you do! (There is an approximate 50% probability you wont in the starting hand)

Finally, madblind mountain is a worse search card, but it doesn't get in the way of treasure hunt.

Skullclamp is good here as well - just pop it on a token! Don't attack with that guy though ...

Just take the Eldrazi out of here. You know, you don't want to spoil the surprise. And you need to protect Spawnshire ... how about lightning greaves, whispersilk cloak, etc.

This sir, is your magnum opus.

Mentor of the meek is a good draw card.

Oh crap ... this is one crazy eldrazi deck ...

Take out the hydras and add 4 elves (look at from the vault 20, there's an elf there). Next add 2 more spawnshires. Then add several green Sun's Zeniths. Next, take out your doubling season and focus on trample enchantments. Finally, buy progenitus.

Congrats, your deck is now broken.

I think mentor of the meek is probably the "most best" card draw possible in this deck.

Lol, those were not my ideas. Read the description of my deck to see whose it is.

Grimoire of the Dead is mediocre in this combo. On the other hand, it might go well with your zombie deck Northern ...

Also, Elixir of Immortality can bring your Crusher back into your deck, which stops a whole lot of removal and milling (you ARE milling yourself).

Elixir is good for 4 reasons:
1- it is colorless, so it does not need any lands.
2- it's cost is broken into 2 parts, which makes it easier to cast (turn 2 at the earliest).
3 - it gives you 5 life.
4 - it shuffles itself into your library, so it can be used multiple times

It has 1 disadvantage - it is vulnerable to removal, especially before turn 3.

Timetwister combos with countryside crusher only, since he has to provide the deck search.
I think I specifically said that you are seeking for cards that combo with the combo , and treasure hunt is assumed to be the card you are using to complete the combo, unless you say otherwise or include 2 cards.

This blip is courtesy of you (in a good way), so you get an honorable mention:

All combos must consist of only 2 cards - (1) a deck-search (usually Treasure Hunt, but sometimes Countryside Crusher) and (2) a card that takes a ridiculous advantage when a the large number of land cards in your hand, available to be discarded, or in your graveyard.

Please don't suggest removal or cards that will "protect" the combo. While the suggested cards will help the combo if it gets stuck (i.e., the deck-searcher or combo card is countered/removed), they also serve to hamper the treasure hunt (or other deck-search), which now has a lower probability of finding the other half of the combo and will probably draw less lands (there are less lands and less space between them).
