Another of my casual decks to flaunt. Please have a look at it and feel free to praise or criticise it - I say criticise, I did not say flame. 
Lands
3 Scrying Sheets
3 Mouth of Ronom
5 Snow-Covered Plains
3 Snow-Covered Forest
6 Snow-Covered Mountain
1 Gruul Turf
2 Boros Garrison
1 Selesnya Sanctuary
Instants & Sorceries
4 Char
4 Pyroclasm
3 Mana Clash
2 Wrath of God
4 Lightning Helix
Creatures
4 Tamanoa
4 Bird of Paradise
Enchantments
4 Faith's Fetters
3 Searing Meditation
Artifacts
4 Coldsteel Heart
| Quote: | | Rationale for card choices |
Lands
Because the deck runs a significant proportion of coloured mana, I chose to go with only 3 copies each of Scrying Sheets and Mouth of Ronom.
I might replace the Karoos with dual lands - IF I can get hold of them.
Instants & Sorceries
Mostly burn spells, for use together with Tamanoa. Even without Tamanoa they are pretty decent; Tamanoa just gives me a boost at the expense of my opponent's life. 
3 Mana Clash - WHY? Imagine having a Tamanoa in play, and you flip coins with your opponent...you have all to gain and none to lose! Actually it's more for old times' sake that I included it. 
Only 2 Wrath of God, because for this deck "destroy" doesn't benefit me as much as "damage". WoG is here for creatures with protection. Paladin en-Vec? Shoo!
Creatures
Self-explanatory, aren't they?
Enchantments
Faith's Fetters for board control, Searing Meditation for synergy with Tamanoa...pretty self-explanatory too.
Artifacts
After pondering over Coldsteel Heart, Fellwar Stone and Spectral Searchlight, I decided to go for CH simply because it is snow.
Notice that there are no cards from the Kamigawa block. It isn't a coincidence, because I took into consideration the fact that the plane of Kamigawa will be bidding us T2-players farewell.
When Time Spiral comes in I might make changes as necessary. I simply can't wait for TS!  |

| Add 9th edition pain lands. They work really well with tamanoa and searing meditation. |

Good idea, and I'm glad I haven't sold my painlands! I'll replace the karoos with them straightaway!
