That's what me and my friends call it anyway "Cheating.dec" could also be "R/U Free Spell"

Creatures
4 Shield Sphere
3 Cloud of Faeries
1 Erayo, Soratami Ascendent
1 Palinchron
1 Darksteel Colossus

Drawing/Tutor
1 Burning Wish
3 Fiery Gambit
1 Frantic Search
1 Tinker
1 Future Sight
1 Mind's Desire
1 Time Spiral

Control
3 Fire/Ice
1 Snap
2 Force of Will
1 Treachery
2 Blatant Thievery

Other
4 Krark's Thumb
4 Mana Flare
1 Mana Crypt
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Diamond
1 Chrome Mox
1 Sol Ring
1 Candelabra of Tawnos
1 Copy Artifact

Non Basic Land
1 Tolarian Academy
4 Seat of the Synod
4 Great Furnace
1 Darksteel Citadel
4 Volcanic Island
1 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds

Sideboard:
1 Blatant Thievery
1 Obliterate
1 Pyroclasm
1 Kaervek's Torch
1 Wheel of Fortune
1 Fiery Gambit

Created it when I realized Fiery Gambit was bascially the most insane free spell ever printed (when it works).  The thumbs are beautiful with the Mana Crypt.

I know I could take out the Darksteel Colossus, Fire/Ice and a few others to pack in 4 Dark Ritual, Necropotence, Yawgmoth's Bargain, Yawgmoth's Will, Tendrils of Agony, but it got very boring for me to play so I decided to keep it R/U.

Blatant Thievery is in there just because I play a lot of FFA (when I play), and it "cheats" in FFA.

Erayo is just stupid.

I'm still waiting for the Izzet guild to see if there's anything good I can add.  I'll probably drop some shield spheres.

Any suggestions to fill out my sideboard?  Usually don't need to burning wish for anything else, other than Time Spiral.

Other Suggestions?

Isn't  Krark's Thumb legendary?

..Just wondering. Because that would stop you, unless you love having just one in play.

I think the most surreal thing is when a complete stranger you meet at a tournament hears your name and goes "Oh, yeah. I've read your stuff." It's kind of weird, yet feels good all at the same time.

It is, but remember this deck is called Cheating.dec Wink

yep.  one in play does the job.

Don't know if anyone else has seem this Guildpact card:

Stitch in Time
Flip a coin.  If you win the flip take an extra turn after this one.

Tempted to put it in, but every time I think about it I want to blow a pay check and buy a Time Walk instead.

And the deck is called "R/U Cheating.dec" as in "Are You Cheating.dec"  *snort*

Anyway, isn't it every casual player's secret dream to build a semi-playable coin flip and poison deck?  Fiery Gambit finally got one of them to work...  Now if I could just get the poison one to not suck.  <--- *wishes they made the Golgari mechanic "Poison" (keyword).
