Hi everyone, me again. Recently I bought several packs of Planar Chaos, and I got quite a few Reality Acid. I decided not to put them to waste and built a deck using them. Please give me some feedback.

Quote:
***DECK LIST***


LANDS
3 Scrying Sheets
20 Snow-Covered Island

CREATURES
4 Dream Stalker
4 Drift of Phantasms
1 Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
3 Survivor of the Unseen

SPELLS
2 Tidings
4 Repeal
4 Remand
4 Compulsive Research

4 Reality Acid
4 Mark of Eviction

3 Cloudstone Curio

***end of deck list***


Now, for an explanation of some of my card choices...

Dream Stalker - a 1U-Boomerang on a 1/5 creature; stops most creatures and returns my Reality Acid to hand

Drift of Phantasms - transmutes for Reality Acid, or Cloudstone Curio, or other 3cc cards

Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir - I didn't include this at first, but I realised I needed a win condition, and beating down with Dream Stalker isn't the fastest way to do so. In any case, this person is pretty solid.

Survivor of the Unseen - draws me cards, and "disposable" when I can't afford the cumulative upkeep; return to hand, drop him and draw some more =)

Mark of Eviction - cheap bounce, whether used on the creatures across the board or on my side

Cloudstone Curio - Mark of Eviction and Reality Acid...Dream Stalker and itself (and other creatures)

The question is should I keep the manabase as it is? Or should I stick to 23 Islands? Is Chronatog Totem any good in this deck? Any other ways I can make this deck tick? =)

He doesn't need more, He just needs a better one than Mark of Eviction. I would say, add in 5 snow-covered plains and 4 Gelid Shackles. I use Drake Familiar in my deck, as opposed to Dream Stalker.

for the mana base, I'd drop one island. the rest seems fine, except you don't really have any early defense. and your only counter is remand? cmon... I know I know, it gets you a card, but mana leak or rune snag would fit much better here. because you know, they actually protect you in the long-run.

-4 Mark
-2 Tidings
-3 Survivor
-1 Repeal
-1 Curio

+1 Teferi
+3 Copy Enchantment
+4 Snag/Leak
+2 Annex
+1 Confiscate

Mark/Evict is a horrible card, so is Survivor.
Tidings is redundant as you have too much draw.

Copy enchantment should be a no-brainer, along with annex and confiscate.
And yeah, you need more counters (mana leak)

IMO, I would get rid of all the snow crap and add 4 deserts, academy ruins, and a factory or two. Factory is an awesome win condition.

In fact, Survivor is arguably the worst card in t2 (/joke)

Just to confirm something - if I play Copy Enchanment with Cloudstone Curio and Reality Acid in play, can I choose to copy Reality Acid before I return it to my hand?
