I think that this is the best way to rate the deck; only with originality. Since I'm not planning on building it, playibility, synergy, and overall is zilch. But I think it's fairly original, don't you?

This is the first deck where I have actually suggested this...but have you considered an infinite mana combo? There are so many out now, that it wouldn't be too hard. Splash a LITTLE blue, Pemmin's Aura Buy+Wirewood Channeler Buy + 1 other elf + pemmins = unlimited mana. Heck, if you wanted to stay mono-colored, how about a Staff of Domination Buy with Priest of Titania Buy? I do love the idea of this deck. You should add the 'Rogue' type to the description of this deck. Rogue decks are basically just decks that are waayyyy different from the main stream decks.

Yea, infinite mana combo's would work really well in this deck, but... hmmmm... I don't have a good reason not to. I'll see if there's anything that I like, to put in here. And I changed it to 'rogue', and I added another kill condition into the sideboard.

I'm a sucker for decks like this. It's my opinion that if you can not only take a bad card and win with it, but also take a bad card and win with it the "wrong" way, you are truly a creative MTG deckbuilder. Much credit. Only thing I'd recommend: Research is a two-mana instant, is it not? I'm thinking Isochron Scepter may be a worthy add. Well done though. If you ever win, I'll be impressed, but if you do, I'd love to see your opponent's face. Oh yeah, plz r8 my hysteria deck.

You should have Platinum Angel Buy and Lightning Greaves Buy - maybe also Shield of Kaldra Buy. Why? Because this would take forever.  Still, an incredibly creative idea.

Yea, a Platinum Angel Buy would help me *not lose* for long enough to probably kick a few hundred cards into my library, but where would the fun be in that? Can anyone think of any other win conditions? I need some more!

Well, originality is definitely out there, amazing idea. I never thought of trying to EXPAND my library, seemed counterproductive. I like this deck, its got great potential. I am a big fan of decks that kill with a single massive blow, and this deck does that beautifully on the right conditions... i'd add Parallel Thoughts to get the cards you need. anyway, nice deck dude! keep it up!

I just love this deck. I tried it out and owned some of my opponents. For my sideboard, I added in a bunch of useful cards, such as transmutes, creature removal, etc... and lands. I suggest replacing utopia sprawl with kodama's reach. It gives more mana, and if you add in some swamps for the rats you can get them easily.

this is a great idea, but i would definitely go with an infinite mana loop so u can get the win in one strike, rather than slowly building it up. i agree with tho poter that said use Wirewood Channeler Buy and Pemmin's Aura Buy. i'd even go as far as suggesting u drop the snakes for elves since they're great mana accelerator's anyways (thus allowing u to theoretically drop the djinn as early as turn 4).

This deck is freakin hilarious to try! If I had the money, I would definitely try this deck out. I have a few recommendations for the deck... Try putting in some Reminisce Buy, or Feldon's Cane Buy to get back some of the Deck "Building" cards, and also get back some cards that you need to have the deck back to 200+. This may have been already said, but yah..Those might help. Thx for rating my deck.

Feldon's Cane Buy is a great suggestion, I dunno why I didn't think of it... oh well. I'll find a place to put it in a bit. And, I know that infinite mana would just make this deck actually possibly work every once in a while, but I don't really like infinite combo's. It just seems like cheating, and it takes a whole 'fun' aspect out of the game; an aspect that this deck excels in. So maybe I'll put it in there, if I actually try and build the deck. But right now, ridiculously hard/psuedo-impossible win conditions are...fun.
