Deck discussion for Mind Over Timmy!

I think what's missing here is solid acceleration. I've got a Mind Over Timmy build as well (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=145831) and the one thing I struggle with is getting all the pieces I need and able to afford everything in a timely manner. High Tide, Sol Ring (or any other colorless tapper), or Saprazzan Skerry might help you with the mana you need.

I question the inclusion of only one MoM. You don't have any search or draw in the deck (I'm not counting the one Ponder) so getting to it is a little unreliable; definitely increase the count to at least 3.

Sigil of Sleep is amazing, I'm glad you have one here, but consider upping it to 2-3, it will help in a pinch.

What I do like is your inclusion of Shadow. This will give you an alternate win condition, the trick, though, is staying alive long enough to do enough lethal damage. Also, Charisma is a GREAT card and something I somehow overlooked when building my "Tim's Curious MoM" deck a while back.

If you get a chance, feel free to take a look at one of my builds.

Thanks for taking the time to peruse my deck and your suggestions.

The decks I post are built with cards I own and unfortunately I only own one each MoM and SoS. Also my groups hate infinite combo decks, so to keep them happy I limited myself to one MoM. But to their chagrin I added the Shadow creatures. The reason for only 1 ponder is cuz a while back we ruled a limit of one. I don't remember why but that is no longer followed.

This deck was one of my first decks when I got back into Magic around 3 years ago. So it's been neglected and placed on the back burner. However, after receiving your input and checking out your Timmy deck I might breathe new life in this old girl.

To help with mana acceleration I use to have a set of Sea Scryer's. They also acted as another body for the Hermetic Study. The real target of the HS is the Horseshoe crab thou.

I think the first change I'll make is drop the Icy and Oysters to add high Tides. And also pick up a couple Skerry's.
