Shuffles, much like commas, are useful for altering tempo to add feeling. |

Will Kerwin be joining you? It'll be nice to see him. It'll also be nice to know whether or not to board any cards for dredge  |

Thanks for hosting, Dan. This was fun! Thank you, to the 10 other people that showed. Hopefully we'll get a few more next time.
Here's what I played (badly) to a top 4 split. I'm calling it Gush-cast, because clearly, deck names are the most important part of development.
4 Force of Will
4 Gush
4 Thoughtcast
3 Mana Drain
1 Jace, The Mindsculptor
1 Merchant Scroll
1 Tinker
1 Time Walk
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Thirst for Knowledge
1 Brainstorm
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Fastbond
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Yawgmoth's Will
2 Red Elemental Blast
1 Pyroblast
1 Empty the Warrens
2 Sensei's Divining Top
2 Voltaic Key
1 Time Vault
1 Myr Battlesphere
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Opal
1 Mana Vault
1 Mana Crypt
1 Sol Ring
1 Black Lotus
4 Scalding Tarn
3 Underground Sea
2 Volcanic Island
2 Seat of the Synod
1 Tropical Island
1 Polluted Delta
1 Tolarian Academy
It was fun to play, with lots of interesting, little interactions going on. Resolving fastbond with all of the free (or nearly free) draw spells lets you blow through the deck pretty quickly. I was rarely outdrawn (from what I remember). There were a couple of dead turns here and there, but otherwise, the deck ran pretty smoothly. I'm not going to bother posting the sideboard, since it was completely devoid of cards for dredge and therefore suboptimal. A real board would have Jailers and Chewers, a basic or two and some other random, all-purpose cards.
