mono u curio combo

[silvernail]

Posting a list i have yet to test (testing tomorrow is likely).
The deck seems like it could work well as it is mono color combo so here it is:

4 polluted delta
12 island
1 Mox pearl
1 Mox emerald
1 Mox sapphire
1 Mox ruby
1 Mox jet
1 Black lotus
1 sol ring
1 mana crypt
1 darksteel colossus
1 mystical tutor
1 tinker
1 time walk
1 ancestral recall
1 fact or fiction
4 cloudstone Curio
4 cloud of faeries
2 brainfreeze
2 merchant scroll
4 Brainstorm
4 thirst for knowledge
4 force of will
4 mana drain
2 misdirection

You basically wait it out and try to assemble a curio and two cloud of faeries and a brainfreeze. Also has tinker colossus alternate win condition avalible. The mana seems light perhaps but i post more after testing tomorrow. Any comments are welcome.

The thing with combo isn't it to be able to go off fast? I mean, what does this deck offer compared to a deck with -10 combo pieces +10 cards that could be Ophidian, Mana Leak, Impulse, Chalice, Powder Keg, bounce, Cunning Wish, Fire/Ice, Isochron Scepter, Vedalken Shackles?

...and what about using Kobolds instead of Faeries (or in addition to them)?
I would also play Skullclamp in such a deck!

mm do kolbolds count as artifacts at all? if not you could try adding more to increase the likelyhood of having the two creatures needed to combo off.

This deck isnt so much of a combo off fast but a sit on drain and win type deck, it functions more like a control deck that will win in one turn.
