Ah, what kind of attitude is that!? :) Just for reference this is the Blue deck I made and I don't think its dead... 22 Island 4 Sapphire Meddalion 4 Flameproof Tim 4 Vodalian Illusionist 2 Thalakos dudes (the ones that go back on top of your lib for U) 4 Capsize 3 Whispers 4 Propaganda 4 Counterspell 4 Dissipate 4 Impulse 1 Ancestral Knowledge SB: 4 Hyrdoblast, 4 Chill, 4 Dismiss, 3 Disrupting Sceptre It wins by getting the Capsize lock (2 Meddalions + Capsize = reusable boomerang for 3 mana). Boom all their land to hand and that is game. Heavy anti-red and anti-permission in sb, presuming that all other decks are handled by main deck (Propaganda and Capsize will handle damn near anything...)
