Deck Description

I've been messing around with both a Madness and a Flashback deck for some time and while killing some time I came up with this hybrid creation that is a lot of fun to play.

I also had Chrome Mox in the deck from the beginning but I was not entirely happy with it so I'm looking for a possible alternative mana source...?

How to Play

Grave Scrabbler and Snapcaster Mage are uncredibly annoying when paired up together. They create obnoxious amounts of counters and card drawing with the Snapcaster returning numerous times.

The deck was originally a little weak on the first turns so I added Putrid Imp that also makes Circular Logic available much earlier.

Wonder is fine just laying in the graveyard and can also function as a Scrabbler target for more atog ammo.

Upheaval is insanely good mid-late game but I had to pull it to combat the quicker decks. I am thinking I only need to carry 1 in the SB as I can get to it pretty often with the card draw.

Fact or Fiction with Psychatog and Snapcaster flashback is just incredible.

Deck discussion for PsychAnalysis

This seems to be a really smartly built deck. I know this because I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it! One issue, in that last combo you mentioned, if you use snapcaster to flashback fact or fiction, it leaves the graveyard and is then exiled, so how do you plan to use psychatog to exile it from the graveyard? you can only exile the card once, you can't exile it twice at the same time.
Besides that I can see this working really well! I'm glad there are people out there who can plan out a deck like this, because I sure can't

You certainly can Snapcast FoF for another "tutor" turn but most importantly: You can Snapcast/Flashback or Grave Scrabble whatever you just dropped in the yard. So no matter how your opponent splits the FoF you can likely play it no matter where it ends up.

The atog ability is rarely used until the kill so generally you dont need as many cards in hand or in the yard as a old school Psychatog deck did, which allows you to Flashback quite considerably until you are set and ready for the finish.

My most memorable win ended in a table flip when I attacked with 1 atog and 1 Imp, (Wonder and 18 other cards in yard), and 2 untapped Underground Sea and 2 Circular Logic in hand. Opponent had 11 life, 2 untapped Plains and 2 Swords to Plowshares in hand. <grin>

Too bad Cockatrice is down but if you can stomach Workbench then take it for a spin, it is a lot of fun to play when you get the hang of it...
