Better than the last ;)
I can see the idea of demolishing all
Permanents on the other side.
I can suggest you use some of my panic buttons
To get a better chance of winning by b.o.w
(Elixir of Immortality/feldon's cane)

But it undeniably has KI

I wanted mama generating creatures to access any mana. That meant green.
This was to play b.o.w as soon as possible.
I think I'm ready to reveal. I only have to add lands to the deck and that's trivial.

Ah, but since I made room for fixer-cards to deal with problems I will be able to deal with a lot of problems, even crossing the 200 cards in deck limit. Search allows me to aim for a turn 5 kill reliably, and if that fails I can either go with plan b or rebuild and try again.

Plan b is probably aggro for me.

I got 90 cards leftover when the mana and search and support of infernal tutor is in place.
That's a lot better than I hoped for.

I even built it to account for who starts the game which is why I set the bar so low. The less cards the higher the odds will be of drawing an individual card.

My deck is split into 18 portions, each portion (except 4) needs a tutor to reliably draw the B.O.W not accounting for clusters. I can fill in extra search later to account for that.

I'm not going to rely on drawing 1 card out of 216 ;)

Now were talking tutors, idylic tutor isn't in the database yet.

My solution is to split up the deck in equal portions that contains a game. If I can find a way to measure that my average kill will be at turn 5 then each portion of deck will have mana, a search card and room for problem solving.

With my expertise in building fast decks my main focus is a build that uses infernal tutor by emptying the hand naturally, and part of my room will be based on having backup solutions. Redundancy redundancy as preppers say.

Wow, this is some mother to crack.
I can't use evolution on this one because it takes too long time shuffling.
That means I have to go mathematical on it, and I really hate maths.

I've made a list of search cards, and there's actually a lot more than I thought, but most are of a high cost.
I'd agree that black will be unavoidable.

Funniest sounding card of the day was the mythos of brokkos.

Let's have battle of wits as the wincon.
I must admit that there were fewer search cards in the range of 1-2 mana than I thought I would find,
So let's say fastest reliable turn of kill. It might mean we get into more turns, otherwise we'd have to go legacy.

Disciple of deceit looks promising.

If it's been impossible in modern so far, we should really do it.
Go any color you want, the card is called battle of wits for a reason.
I'm brainstorming while preparing the sleeves, and can tell you I've already made 1 mistake already, serum powder doesn't fit this deck at all ;)

We are facing several design problems, getting a reliable mana and a tutor in hand, and not robbing the deck of too many cards during the three turns. My own opening goal is to make it a 211 card deck. You draw 10 cards over 3 turns and you fetch a battle of wits with the tutor.

Then go craft some killer instinct into the above deck ;)
I want to see it kill goldfishes reliably on turn 3.
I will build your deck and test it to control if you've done the job.

In return of your efforts, I will make a functional battle of wits myself.

Agreed?

I'm too bent on winning.
I used to be an impractical johnny, and transformed into a practical johnny.
The difference is that there are many Smith's that can make a practical sword, and few that can make a beautifull sword. But the ones who are truly rare are those who can build a beautiful but practical sword.

For me the only art is to make something that can rip the smile of a pro player while being totally alien and also have some sort of beauty over it.

I've spent years on preparing brushes and paint to make my art with. Perhaps the difference between us is just age.

To me magic is an arena where you get to build your own dinosaur and throw it in the pit, and to me the best thing is when my dino wins.

I think you are right, but I also think you are vorthos.
The deck is more aesthetic than it is playable.
A 4 in 230 odds of getting the treasure hunt?

Unless ofcourse you do it like me, opening the deck for viewers before it's done?
That would make us both into street painters.

Search for "timmy, Johnny and spike revisited"
There was 3 types originally, then vorthos was invented and later Melvin.
In other words you are an aesthetic builder more than a player :)
