This is a deck that I just came up with, the idea is to bide time until a dovescape and ghostly prison, countering their threats with your other counters. Play a pride and attack for the win.
Dovescape.dec
//Creatures (12)
4 Pride of the Clouds
4 Drift of Phantasms (Search for Ghostly Prison)
4 Etheral Usher (Search for Doverscape)
//Draw (4)
4 Compulsive Research
//Counters (12)
4 Muddle the Mixture (Search for Pride of the Clouds)
4 Mana Leak
4 Hinder
//Enchantments ( 8 )
4 Ghostly Prison
4 Dovescape
//Land (24)
4 Adarkar Wastes
4 Hallowed Fountain
10 Island
6 Plains
I was lucky as I managed to put each of the search cards to fit the deck. Drift also provides defense against early aggro. Etheral Usher pushes pride through their birds/creatures and muddle acts as another counter.
Please give me feedback on this deck, what does it need to work? I'm not looking to make a tier 1 deck but I do feel that this can be made competetive.
It's "Dovescape"; You're welcome - Vacancy |

Crap didn't see that.
Etheral Usher is there to get Pride through.
Does this deck seem viable or should I drop it? |

kami of ancient law still goes through, which can really suck. i've made about 5 different dovescape decks because i love the card. i think the best thing you can do with it is probably ideal, but in theory it's not bad. i've been playing with a R/W djinn illuminatus/dovescape deck because replicate with dovescape is entertaining. get some birds and still get helixes through  |

By that point, it shouldn't matter. If I'm really wrong about that, consider Soulsworn Jury.
To deal with Koala, you'll need all 4 Pithing Needles in the board, and perhaps Azorius Guildmage as well.
It also seems like you could use some sort of acceleration - signets?
The only thing is... this just isn't as good as the other combo decks in the format. The combo doesn't just win the game all by itself. |

I agree, maybe I should forget about it. |

a horrible lock that costs 6 mana each god damn turn!!!
not to mention any lock that rellies on more then 2 cards needs to be fast and Dovescape itself is 6 mana. |
