Thing in the Ice
Creature — Horror
Defender
Thing in the Ice enters the battlefield with four ice counters on it.
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, remove an ice counter from Thing in the Ice. Then if it has no ice counters on it, transform it.

5dollarMTG I'm having a blast playing this deck, super fun. i put Delver of Secrets Flip instead of Pteramander for a little bit more early pressure, and Thing in the Ice Flip as a side.

I think this works, but I wanted to get a more general consensus.
Step one would be to have Thing in the Ice Flip in play, and enchant it with Endless Evil.
Step two would be to wait for my next upkeep, where I create a 1/1 token copy of Thing in the Ice Flip. It would enter with the four Ice counters, since the 'create a token' is technically ETB (?).
Step three would be to play enough instances/sorceries to remove the Ice counters, causing them to transform. Since the rules changed with March of the Machine, tokens can transform if they are able/copying a permanent that can transform.
Step four would be to have a growing number of Thing in the Ice Flip/Awoken Horror Flip's? And they would 'regain' their proper power/toughness, since only the one side was designated as a 1/1?
Is my reasoning correct for this? I think it is, but I'm not a judge haha.

This is true. Maybe the answer was right in front of us the whole time: Spellskite. Upping it to 4x puts a decent linebacker on the field, which won’t be bolted, which will redirect the majority of pivotal mid- to late game plays to itself, and most importantly it won’t be returned to your hand when Thing in the Ice Flip is flipped. The only play that might realistically sidestep it would be a boardwipe. It’d be a magnet for removal though so I’d definitely hang onto it until just before I felt confident in trying to go for the win.

Great list. I wonder though, would something simpler like Mana Leak be a better Counterspell than Force of Negation? It’s not as good, true, but there are 16 blue cards, less than a third of your total count—less still when you consider that you don’t want to be exiling Thing in the Ice Flip if at all possible. It would also drastically reduce the total cost if it were replaced.

Combo:
- Dress Down on opponent's end step.
- on your next main phase, cast Thing in the Ice Flip. this makes it enter the battlefield as an 0/4 creature with no counters on it from it's ETB effect.
- After Dress Down leaves the battlefield, cast an instant to flip Thing in the Ice Flip into Awoken Horror Flip, which will bounce all other non-horror creatures back to their owners hands.
Alternative combo:
- Cast Vampire Hexmage
- Cast Thing in the Ice Flip
- Use Vampire Hexmage's ability to remove all counters from Thing in the Ice Flip
- Cast an instant or sorcery to flip Thing in the Ice Flip into Awoken Horror Flip

No problem! I actually just learned something about Thing in the Ice Flip. It actually needs to have the last counter removed by its effect, otherwise it cannot transform. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Still, wicked cool deck!

DMFF Thanks for the suggestion! I have only recently gotten back into MTG and wasn't even tracking Reprieve. I'll do some online playtesting with it and see if my manabase is good enough to support a white instead of blue counterspell set.
Earlier versions of this deck did have 4x Thing in the Ice Flip and like 3x Phyrexian Soulgorger (both to be used with solemnity out). It was a pretty good deck, but I decided to go the instant win/infinite combo route instead. Thing in the Ice is great for midgame boardwipes whien is flips.
Thanks again for the suggestion!
