Hi all,

Here is a funny deck I am testing (and still tuning) since the unrestriction of gush.

The deck engine is based on the following cards :
- 4x lotus cobra,
- 4x gush,
- 4x life from the loan

Because having lands in hand is not an advantage by itself, I add some drawers requiring discard :
- 3x careful studies
- 2x bazaar

To speed up the engine, I insert the full package of fastbond (and fastbond like) :
- 4x exploration
- 1x fastbond

As a win condition, I decide to go with :
- 2x jace (who doesn't add jace in a blue deck?),
- 2x Roar of the wurm (easily playable thanks to the mana produce and can be discarded to Careful and Bazaar)

Naturally, because opponent does not let you win without fighting, the disruption :
- 4x fow
- 4x spell pierce
- 1x Waste and 1x Strip (evident synergie with the fastbond package and life from the loan)
- 2x Ancient Grudge (evident synergies)

And to conclude, some blue random cards that will always be nice :
- Ancestrall, Brainstorm, TimeWalk
- Deep Analysis (liking the mana produced thanks to cobra and being another card that can be discarded)

Finally, here is the deck.

////////////////////  Snake's life  V1.0 ////////////////////

// Lands x17
    4 Misty Rainforest
    3 Polluted Delta
    3 Tropical Island
    2 Volcanic Island
    2 Island
    1 Wasteland
    1 Strip Mine
    1 Bazaar of Baghdad

// Creatures
    4 Lotus Cobra

// Spells
    1 Black Lotus
    1 Mox Sapphire
    1 Mox Emerald
    1 Mox Ruby

    4 Force of Will
    4 Spell Pierce

    4 Gush
    4 Careful Study
    1 Deep Analysis

    4 Life from the Loam
    
    4 Exploration
    1 Fastbond
    
    2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
    2 Roar of the Wurm

    2 Ancient Grudge
 
    1 Ancestral Recall
    1 Brainstorm
    1 Time Walk

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Still under construction, many other options may be studied :
- number of jaces,
- number of bazaar,
- crop rotation,
- mystical tutor,
- many other cards...

Feel free to react.

Cheers

Do you need 4 Loams?  Would 1-2 Crucibles be nice? 

-2 Roars, +1 Tinker + 1 Robot.  Darksteel would be your best bet since he will get reshuffled.

Crop Rotation seems like it belongs maindeck. -1 Careful Study.

Vinelasher Kudzu or even Dryad could be a solid threat.  If Kudzu then try 1 Oboro which goes nicely with fastbond/Exploration.

Good luck.
