Ok....I was brainstorming for a new deck idea while lookin through my cards and saw Clodstone Curio...and I thought to myself...this has something to it. SO I got to work. ANd this is what I came up with:

Lands 22

4 Yavimaya Coast
2 Flagstones of Trokair
1 Simic Gwoth Chamber
4 Temple Garden
2 Hallowed Fountain
1 Island
2 Forest
2 Brushland
4 Breeding Pool

Creatures 24

2 Teferi Mage of Zhalfir
4 Coiling Oracle
4 Court Hussar
3 Yavimaya Dryad
1 Mangara of Corondor
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Loxodon Hierarch
4 Mystic Snake

Spells 14

4 Cloudstone Curio
4 Remand
2 Azorius Signet
4 Momentary Blink

Sideboard 15

1 Draining Whelk
2 Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
1 Teferi Mage of Zhalfir
1 Mangara of COrondor
3 Disenchant
2 Azorius Guildmage
3 Mana Leak
2 Tormod's Crypt

Ran a few tests against Izzet-Tron, Martyr-Tron, and UR Snow. i was very satisfied with the results.

Draining Whelk against Tron is GREAT!! Especially against Martyr-Tron...4cc to counter a 10 mana Storm Herd...makeing it a 4cc 11/11 Flyer.

Managra comboed with Curio and Teferi is just amazing. Put Mangaras ability on stack, Play a coiling oracle or court hussar or any other creature...remove a permanent from the game...good deal.

Anyways easy match-up against Tron decks, a bit difficult against UR Snow..as is any deck.

Um. You do realize that Whelk costs 6 right? Sure the snake costs 4, but whelk is definitely 6. If your opponents let you get away with spending 4 they are really quite dumb.

Draining Whelk costs 6 by the way. I definitely think you need to make this UG and take out the white, that way you can run 4 fists of ironwood (absolutely amazing in this deck), 4 Patagia vipers (also amazing and you can save it if you only pay 4 green for it), and 4 plaxmantas. You could also run peel from reality to make up when you don't get your curio out.

Peel from Reality are you serious? lol....Plaxmanta no....take out White? no...

And I kno Whelk is 6 mana...this deck has no problem getting 6 mana at all....It is actually quite easy for it to...and drawing into a Curio is no problem...

You would think that a Defnse grid would shut this down...guess what??? it doesnt...I had a defnse grid played against me...didnt work..

Ppl....I don't think you quite understand just how smooth this deck runs....I havent had a singel rpoblem with it yet.

I run a very similar deck, it is UG and I run peel and stuff, I usually end up womping them turn 6 with about 12-14 1/1 tokens. Believe me the deck used to run white, but it just caused problems because the white was not powerful or fast enough and slowed the deck way down. If you don't want advice, don't list your deck.

Wait... You never asked for suggestions, so are you just putting this up because you want to show it off? Because it seems like you think it doesn't have any problems.

Well....this deck has tested very well....so...yeah. There was a deck kind of like this that won Oklahoma States...but I just like it and put it up to show...if u have suggestions fine...but this is fine the way it is...only bad match up really is Snow...but everything is bad against UR Snow/MU Snow
