Why, yes, casting Force of Will does provoke an attack of opportunity.

I wasn't planning on bewing a deck for Lavinia, Azorious renegade but then I pulled a promo. What you see before you is a pile of silly combos in the colors. None of which need Lavinia, she's just there to slow people down. She's got some cute synergies that break parity with things like Dream Halls and Knowledge Pool .

Known combos:

Isochron Scepter

Copy Artifact to make a second Isochron Scepter , one imprinting Dramatic Reversal , the other imprinting either Swan Song or Reality Shift can end the game. Forbidden Orchard can give an opponent a target for Reality Shift .

Alternatively, you can use Paradox Engine in place of a scepter holding Dramatic Reversal

Future Sight with Helm of Awakening allows us to use Sensei's Divining Top to draw our deck, while also generating infinite storm. If I end up getting Nexus of Fate we can then take infinite turns.

Aetherflux Reservoir :

Lion's Eye Diamond + Auriok Salvagers

Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter

Blind Obedience :

Lion's Eye Diamond + Auriok Salvagers

Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter

Known nonbos

Rest in Peace is an extremely powerful stax piece, however, it does turn off Bomberman combo. It also makes Dig Through Time pretty nasty to cast.

Tocatli Honor Guard turns off a few of our creatures; Spellseeker , Recruiter of the Guard , and Trinket Mage

Kataki, War's Wage is a little awkward with our artifacts. I'm working on the right balance of Kataki and rocks.

Bomberman dies to almost all of our stax pieces.

Cute Things

Smothering Tithe is cute with Windfall , and it might even cross over into gross when paired with Stasis .

In addition to being a combo piece, Future Sight allows us to play around Knowledge Pool , as pool only exiles cards cast from hand.

Because we run stax pieces that effect us, we want a way to win around our pieces. Paradoxical Outcome serves as answer to our own stax, while also doubling as an out with Aetherflux Reservoir and our mana positive rocks.

Special thanks to Garta for letting me bounce horrible idea at them.
