First off, this deck was created by me to abuse Gaea's Blessing after reading an article on wizards.com.
The idea is to have basically an infinite deck size and deck the opponent.
This deck has been tested on MWS and has a good win percentage (probably due to it being a rogue deck - hence no hate towards it). This deck plays much quicker than a typical control deck and can rip an opponents deck apart pretty quickly.
Thought I would share it with you guys and see how you think I can improve it.

Land (22):
1 Riftstone Portal (nice if you mesmeric and get no blessing)
4 Brushland
3 Island
6 Forest
4 Arctic Flats
4 Boreal Shelf

Creatures (4):
4 Birds of Paradise

Artifact (12):
4 Howling Mine
4 Mesmeric Orb
4 Chromatic Star (mana fixing and early game card draw)

Other Spells (22):
4 Fact or Fiction
2 Counterspell
4 Ancestal Vision
4 Wrath of God
4 Gaea's Blessing
4 Rampant Growth

Sideboard (15):
4 Naturalize
1 Disenchant
4 Aether Burst (again, nice if blessing doesnt show- or on a single turn)
2 Counterspell
4 Gainsay

Before you suggest anything, I would recommend playing with the deck a bit to get a feel for it.
Comments welcome, copying my deck is also welcome.

I suggest you playtest it against any form of aggro and see how it fares... Affinity, Boros, and Goblin storm all sound extremely fatal to your deck...

It could use more stalling or life gain IMO, but looks like a solid idea.

Have already. Lost about 1 or 2 out of 5+ games against them. Birds + rampant sets up a wrath ver nicely Smile

Play against agro players that don't overextend, then.

One Wrath of God should never, ever, EVER screw up a good agro player.

I don't see how this can beat boros when boros can RUN on 3-4 lands in play, they're only untapping a few permanents. It's not a very good mill engine against an aggro deck.
