The idea with this deck is almost identical to Tron. The only difference is the fact that GOP can be a bit cumbersome to cast, particularly versus control. That's where Pact of Negation comes in. No it's not Force of Will but if there was ever a deck in which it can shine without having to sweat the upkeep then this is it. I for now I'm just bringing it in from the side with Teferi but I expect that to change if there is a control metagame...

Artifact:10
2 Mirari
4 Gauntlet of Power
4 Izzet Signet

Blue:24
2 Spell Burst
4 Cancel
4 Remand
3 Repeal
3 Snapback
4 Flow of Ideas
4 Compulsive Research

Red:2
2 Demonfire

Land:24
1 Academy Ruins
23 Island

So you play GOP and Demonfire for 20+ damage. That's pretty much it. Flow of Ideas is quite busted, particularly with Mirari
so drawing the cards that win isn't an issue at all. If this deck has a bad matchup I would say it's either Orshov with heavy discard, Vore/LD variants, and depending on the player monoU control (Game one at least). I feel really good about midrange aggro and non U control. If I make it to turn 8 the game is usually academic from that point on. Is anyone trying anything similar? I'd like to see it...
