Sorry about the spam :D I'm making a guide on how to build halfdecks!Go take a look and give me as much input as you have made yourself so far!One topic that I need a lot of input on is how to test a halfdeck!!! http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/guide-how-to-build-a-halfdeck/

Whoa! That's ambitious! I mean, noone should be able to predict the meta-game for a non-existant format :DSo it's a personal pet experiment! I like that!
I've added you and your deck to our "primer": http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/halfdeck-primer/For the bounce/life deck I think the verdict is too destructive, as you don't want your own creatures sent to the grave. In a stretch I could see terminus used instead as you can get the creatures back with it
That's just bad luck!I know someone is trying to build a stormdeck based on slithermuse! Maybe you two could crack it together!He needs some help on the basics of storm though, but he might be able to think more out of the box?!He's also part of the halfdeck concept!http://www.mtgvault.com/mugenkira/decks/ad-nauseum-muse/
What exactly is the purpose? Is this a new format, or some local event?if new stuff is allowed try to see if you can salvage something from this:http://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=5813&d=233774Theres some old stuff in there as well but it might not work in your setup, but it's worth a look!
I've assembled a page where I keep track of people building halfdecks!Study some of the work there, then make your own addition :Dhttp://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/halfdeck-primer/
I once had a U/G deck based on sigil of sleep, and it's a long story, but here's a link to the cards I went through in designing it. You may want to focus on the blue cards :D http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/silhana-project20072013/
I know that it's easy to say "base it on this" but there are reasons why the ordinary versions win, and normally the reasoning involves not to throw 10-12 cards out and insert something else (Reminds me of halfdecking). You need to make the changes 1 card at a time. Slow and steady wins the race :DAt least go through the mechanics of the deck!4 preordain, 4 ponder and 4 brainstorm + 4 infernal tutor is part of the "original" designThey want as many spells to drive their storm as possible.You have 4 infernal tutors!You want to have less cards in hands as the "drive"Try to go through some cards like faithless looting and carefull study or lim dul's vault that will allow you to copy the overall gameplan for ant but based on getting few good cards so you can re-draw and go off through the muse :DNo kobolds!!!
Well, the link is not a problem to provide :DBut it sort of settles a lot of issues when the three only mill designs that have won modern shares 4 cards in common! It means it's pretty open how you design mill appart from those 16 essential cards that seems to win.It should be possible to bash half a deck together with these millcards making the halfdecks an even funner thing to toy with :D I'll be using the top part of this halfdeck:http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/wdm-promillmilllock/I might play it with half a thresh-deck or maybe half a death and taxes design.I have toyed with a milldeck before using a UW stoneforge design where the creatures were thrown out and I kept the counterspells and removal.
If you want to "see" goblin matron in the design, theres a black version of it in one of the llorwyn cycles! Might take some tweaking, but should be possible.
Lim dul's vault is sort of the "newest" innovation in storm these days. I don't know if it fits within the timeframe you need, but if it does, it's worth to consider!
Heh, that one's simple. since tarmogoyfs essentially is a dumb beater, and ooze is a dumb beater with some smart ability (involving life) the logical step is to use 2 tarmogoyf and 4 ooze :DAlternatively use swords to plowshares instead of path to exile, or throw some confidants out of the deck!That should cover the life-part.
Thats a tough nut to crack!How do you design the best possible deck when it must'n be better than turn 4 kills?I'm speculating that you might try to raise interrest in a "modern" version of the deck, in which case I might have a go with it :DOtherwise I can only tell you how I would try to build it myself, with lots of weird tools and ideas :PThe rusalka is a cool way to use the bridges, but perhaps a bit too unreliable?And there are far to many lands. 12's the usual number for dredge!
Have you considered invisible stalker?Sigil of sleep will also fit the theme :D
Some esper mill that got 2nd place in modernhttp://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/charkattacks-modern-mill/
Thallid commander! Why not...You seem to create a lot of decks outside the mainstream spectrum (Lots of decks but no reputation!)So if you are interrested in joining new projects, then you could join the below:http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/halfdeck-primer/
