this is a ruff deck that uses a card I havent seen played in vintage almost ever.  Its untested, but I just want to throw it out there and see if Im missing anything obvious!

1 Memory Jar
1 Timetwister
1 Windfall
1 Wheel of Fortune
4 Fork
4 Underworld Dreams
4 Dark Ritual
4 S.S.G.
1 D. Tutor
1 V. Tutor
1 I. Seal
1 Yawgmoth's Will
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk
4 Force of Will
4 Mana Drain (or Daze or Misdirection?)
1 Brainstorm
1 Ponder
1 Merchant Scroll
1 Gush
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Saph
1 B. Lotus
1 L. Petal
2 Mox Daimond
3 Underground sea
3 Badlands
2 Island
3 Bloodstained Mire
3 Polluted delta

So a simple "draw sevens" combo deck using two seldomly played vintage cards in Fork and Underworld Dreams.  It seems to be synergistic due to the draws being forked, tutors being forked and opposing counters being forked.  We could try a bluer version with twincast or even the twins in the mana drain slot, but with all the tutors and draw, a U Dreams is easy to find and with some permission should avoid bounce.  With one Dreams in play it only takes 2-3 draw spells to win, and with Yawgs Will I can get em all back no prob. The thing I really like about U. Dreams is that thats all anybody DOES in Vintage anyway, so why not make 'em pay!?!

A few cards I considered adding were: Necropotence, Twincast(like I said), Some bounce of my own, Hurkyll's Recall, CotV, Standstill, or any other drawsevens I may have missed.

Again this is ruff and has no board, but please let me know what you guys think, especially those with good ideas!  Thanks-  King

The puzzle box and megrim are GREAT but  little slow, but Winds of Change is what I forgot!  Two of them, A Hurkyl's Recall and misdirections and Negation Pacts in for the mana drains as this deck plans of killing in one turn (hopefully turn one) at least, and with two Dreams out this is very do-able as one draw seven  plus a winds or even an A. Recall aimed at the opponent is 20 plus life. Thanks for the proven list  {B} {B} {B}
