Dragon with oona? No bazzars Sad
Just use Careful Study and other such effects.
Considering the environment, it should still be competitive.

You could even build some ridiculous Dredge/Dragon hybrid deck, and it'd probably still be decent.
Throw in some Book Burning, too.

Somebody tell Chapin how counterbalance works?

You could add blue and green.

That way you'd get Wargate to tutor for things like Strip Mine,
Burgeoning (Sick!) to play lands into an early Limited Resources,
and Boomerang to put on an Isochron Scepter,
which might mean adding a fourth Path to Exile to combo with Scepter.

Or you could add blue for Stasis and Forsaken City.
Foresaken City could be sweet color fixing with Wargate.

Actually, any deck playing the following cards
would probably be the most annoying deck ever.

4 Foresaken City (keeps Stasis alive)
4 Stasis

4 Boomerang (bounces land and Stasis EOT)
4 Isochron Scepter

4 Wargate (tutors for the missing piece)

4 Limited Resources
4 Burgeoning (Multiplayer?!?!)

So I just ordered a time vault.  I have a mox sap, 4 drains, timetwister, and vault what would be the best 75 cards for a random team?

Why do you run path to exile in your limited resources deck? Letting them put a land into play is the exact opposite of your strategy? Swords to Plowshares seems a lot better since you don't care how much life they've got once you got them locked.

It seems like a lot of fun to play there, if people are playing casual (or non-tier 1) decks. Smile

I'd run like Mono-blue, almost like Farie Stompy and just hope your partner isn't stacks.  Running cards like Ophidian could be really good if your opponents have separete fields (ie one guy can't block for the other).

5 Fetchs
9 Island
1 LOA
1 Sapphire
1 Stripmine
2 Anceint Tomb
2 City of Traitors
2 Quicksand

4 Drains
4 Force
4 Misdirrection

2 Rystic Study / remora*
4 Ophidian
3 Glen Eledra Archmage

1 Tinker
1 Inkwell leviathon
1 Platinum Angel
1 Meloku
1 Timevault
1 Key

1 Brainstorm
1 Ponder
1 Fact or Fiction
1 Gifts Ungiven
1 Reconstruction
1 Merchant Scroll
1 Rebuild
1 Echoing Truth

3 Crucible of Worlds

* I'm not sure I'd play remora in a zero proxy, meta without full mox of your own. Its just not as powerful.   Rystic Study can denfinatly be nice in a pinch.  I think Phids could be really powerful.  As well as Misdirrect (and possibly commandeer).   Having lots of pitch magic will be good when it comes to either protecting your partner's combo or heading off both opponents.  You just hope to be paired with someone who has a solid mid-game (as you have early and late covered nicely).  I would DEFINATLY run crucible in a deck like this.  And quicksand could be really good as this format will likely be very legacy like.  Glen Elendra could be really sweet too.

Ok rules are as follows:

You attack guy across from you. Once he is dead, you may attack the other person. 

You may march creatures.

Now to make the metagame even more random, it seems sometimes we have singles tournaments.  So this weekend I went in with painter, and it turned out to be singles, and I crushed face.  It wasn't much fun Sad

I am not sure which format to use for off-line documentation. CHM seems fine but its quit limited. PDF : not my taste, ms doc explorer seems good. RTF/doc/html is also not so bad. Basically, i would to have a format where I can
embedd cmo  flash  wmencoded video files.

Does somebody has a hint for me ?
