No brainstorm because you don't want card quality, you want as much cards as possible in play, in hand, and in grave before you shared fate.  Same with tutors, you just want to draw cards not get answers.  When you play shared Fate you want a lot of draw spells in hand so you can search your opponents deck for answers.

Any suggestions?  There are many decks that this deck bears similarities too.  The first is Trix, and this deck is different because you only need five mana for the kill card and there is only one kill card.  The second is Hulk, and the difference with this deck is that you can play Shared Fate right away and not wait for a lot of cards in hand/grave.

What if their kill is either already on the board, or theyre combo and you cant run thier deck on the cards you draw ?

[Fastbond]

People don't really use burning wish/death wish anymore to fetch the kill.  If they do side in Morphling.  Most decks run at least three kill cards so you should be able to find one.  If they only run one kill card and it's in their hand or grave then you lose.

I can easily see this deck dying to it's own Mana Crypt. It just takes to long.

I don't understand why you refuse to use good cards in your deck

[yodoblec]

He's thinking about after Shared Fate is resolved, but if there's no win condition in your deck why worry?

[MiikeB]

Maybe its just me, but brainstorm seems like it would be insane with shared fate...

I've been playing around with a similar deck excpet mine is VERY budget. Basically I used large amounts of hand disruption with force spike / mana leak as counters (so they have no hard counter once you've 'go off')

The plan is to play shared fate when they have no win on the board or in hand, then 'draw' their entire deck, see what it does then either draw or win.

Just a few suggestions, remove mana crypt and fact or fiction (and maybe even Yawgmoth's Will!) as the first may kill you and the others could give them a win condition from their deck. Inutition suffer from the same problem, it gets one card from their library into their hand.

Also you could try Bazaar of Baghdad, early it searches for componants and once shared fate hits is an amazing draw engine, and Vampiric Tutor as they can't abuse it post-fate.

The fundamental problem with a Shared Fate deck is that you need to run cards so that you won't lose to the opponent's deck.  You also need some cards to stabilize the board.  This makes you a control deck.

And after you do all that work, why would you want to give your opponent the control deck while you take the aggro deck even though the aggro deck has already "lost?"  Shared Fate decks simply cannot work for this very reason.
