(deck discussion) u/r phid

[warlocker19]

Alright, here is my list for blue/red ophidian.  The reasoning behind me playing this in my meta is that combo has recently taken a rise in my meta as well as control.  
First of all, here is the list:

4 force of will
4 mana drain
3 mana leak

4 brainstorm
3 impulse
1 mystical tutor
4 OPHIDIAN ( thus the name of the deck)
2 cunning wish
1 ancestral recall
1 time walk

3 bloodmoon

4 powder keg
1 fire/ice

2 morphling


1 lotus
5 moxen
1 library of alexandria
3 wasteland
1 stripmine
3 polluted delta
3 volcanic island
6 island

sideboard//
1 rack and ruin
1 capsize
1 hurkyl's recal
1 red elemental blast
1 blue elemental blast
2 fire/ice
4 stifle
4 flametongue kavu


The deck is playable because of bloodmoon.  This diruptive tool, backed by 4 strips usually allows for a shut down of non-basics, without destroying your own gameplan.  The reason for the odd number of volcanics and sacs is to better the deck after a resolved bloodmoon.  Everything else is self-explanatory, and for the record, mana leak is a jewel in this deck. (a topic brought up in earlier mono-u posts)

Since this is considered a dead deck* you need to give more explanation of your card choices and why you think it's worth reconsidering to convince us that this works. Essentially, the deader the deck, the higher the burden of proof on the person posting it.

*Sorry Kowal.

Edit: Cut out the time-travelling, Orlove, it's weirding me out. :<

Others: Move along, nothing to see here.
