Hi Frank

I'm playing this deck for 3 weeks and did well against many sort of
decks.  The Key card is Boesium strip which is a really kick-ass card.
The Deck;

Burn; 10
4 shock
4 incinerate
2 hammer of Bogardan

Counter; 12
1 disrupt
2 mana leak
4 counterspell
1 dissipate
2 dismiss

Other; 17
1 shard phoenix
4 impulse
4 whispers of the muse
1 mana sevrance
2 Boesium strip
3 Nevinyeralls Disk
1 argivian restauration
1 recall

Land;
4 caldera lake
3 quicksand
2 reflecting pool
4 mountain
10 island

The power of this deck is that it can be fast in the beginning;
shock /disrupt /mana leak ... are cheap spells and when you have a
strip on the table your card advantage is unbelievable (Whispers can
be used as a jayemdea tome !!!)
What is great that you can play at the end of your opponents turn
(after activating the strip in his upkeep)
Even when your strip gets disenchanted or countered you can win be
shard or hammer recursion.
Maybe its a good idea to add gea's blessings to stack your graveyard
but when u finally play them you are allready in winning position.

Enjoy the deck!
