Notes
This deck is exploring the interaction of Day's undoing and one-sided graveyard hate, like leyline of the void, Nihil Spellbomb, and Tormod's crypt. The effect is like mill. They don't re-shuffle in, and then they draw seven. They play out their hand, lose more cards to the graveyard, and we rinse and repeat. If the cards I draw and deploy accelerate this process, negate their lines of play, and are able to cast with little mana, then I have an effective exile based mill deck. Mesmeric orb and Archive trap are great mill effects that cost little mana, and the redundancy of cards is really good with day's undoing and orb. This creates interesting room with locket of yesterdays and "free" spells, which is a sure way to break a wheel mirror. The question is to make this a turbo fog deck or not, which it is also conducive to. Card fluidity outside of day's undoing is needed, as a lot of the free spells are situation-ally free, or poor in multiples like leylines.
A huge tension is needing cards that stick easy that completely invalidate strategies. Leyline of Sanctity seems like the surest bet to beat strategies that will thrive the most with this, like storm, heavy discard and burn. Navigating counterspells will be tricky, and I do need key cards to defend and keep the engine going. Kor firewalker out of the board is real good, or even prism ring main if I can get enough spells in one color. I hope to break up infinite combo's with exiling key pieces. I need my graveyard, but that's not immediately obvious. I think the deck needs to bridge the early game smoothly, cast day's undoing early and often without fear, and answer a grip full of cards from most decks.
I think a default includes white for path to exile, settle the wreckage, supreme verdict, and cards that are effective for fog. An interesting card for white is rule of law, as choking spells is a great way to stifle the downside of drawing so many cards. The downside is it's hard to take advantage of from control decks with their own counterspells, and double spelling is not possible for myself. So a crucial turn can be navigated around by my opponent. Chancellor seems much better, but way more expensive, another do nothing in my hand unless I add more do nothings to the deck. I'm almost never going to cast it.
It would also be cool to explore blood moon, reforge the soul, molten vortex/seismec assault, magmatic insight, and faithless looting. No white means no path/settle the wreckage, which are real good here, but better card flow options, and some pretty big upgrades. Would also need to make sure the mana worked out.

Adam Haggerty | 23-Oct-2017 21:14Not yet. Just had the brainstorm while on lunch today. It seems like I have to get the balance just right for it to run smoothly, so it might be a minute. There's a lot of tools and room to brew with it, just have to adjust it right. I love the idea of just not dying and removing there whole deck from the game though! Mesmeric orb is a beating.
