Tezzeret in 2006 environment

[batmen]

Hi, I was trying to come up with a deck to play with casually, and was wondering if anyone could help me get started on optimizing Tezzeret for the 2006 T1 meta. My friends play with 4x  brainstorm, scroll, gifts and the like. I was wondering what engine might be best with those cards. With access to 4x Brainstorm and Merchant Scroll, would you run any Thirst for Knowledge? What MD cards are the most expendable to make room?

Thanks

Hmm...But in 2006 time vault did not function as it did now, so what would be the point? I do believe time vault/flame fussilade was "legal" at that point though, but that's just a variation of the gifts deck.

Hey, thanks for attempting to answer my question, but we don't do everything like its 2006, just play with 4x brainstorm, ponder, gifts and scroll....

For example, we don't make Bush jokes or put on Sexyback when we play.... we play with the current Time Vault erratta too.

I would honestly just build a MDG deck with time vault and key slapped into the deck....Makes the gifts piles so much easier, and the deck gets alot faster.

Something like:

Mana: (25)
6 Fetch
4 Island
2 Underground sea
2 Volcanic island
1 Library of alexandria
1 Tolarian academy
7 Solomoxen
1 Mana crypt
1 Mana vault

Disruption: (9)
4 Mana drain
4 Force of will
1 Misdirection

Draw/Search: (17)
4 Brainstorm
4 Merchant scroll
4 Gifts ungiven
1 Fact or fiction
1 Vampiric tutor
1 Demonic tutor
1 Mystical tutor
1 Ancestral recall

Random brokenness: (3)
1 Tinker
1 Yawgmoth's will
1 Time walk

Utility: (2)
1 Rebuild
1 Echoing truth

The win: (4)
1 Darksteel collosus
1 Tendrils of agony
1 Time vault
1 Voltaic key

Fitting in an additional misdirection could be good....Also i remember playing 1 dark ritual and a pyroblast main. I didn't like recoup much, but some people really loved it, just found it unneeded as gifts usually won me the game anyway and i hated drawing it.
