I usually get a win or lockdown within 4-5 turns using this deck, although it's possible to get a first turn lockdown if I draw Black Lotus
+
Time Vault
+
Voltaic Key
and any land. The combos are:
3) Academy Ruins + Mindslaver
allows me lockdown also. I use Mindslaver to take control of opponent, but bring it back before the end of my turn with Academy Ruins. Then after sabotaging my opponent during his turn, I pop the Mindslaver again. Rinse and repeat until he concedes or until I win.
I've also included tons of cards to fetch for any of these combos. I like to use
Tinker
to complete one of my combos if I have half of one already out. I've also got a Mystical Tutor, which can be used to get
Tinker
if I need to.
I could use some advice on a side board. I've been successful with this deck for the most part, but recently was thrashed by a deck using Buried Alive, Worldgorger Dragon, and Animate Dead. So I've added some cards to my sideboard to defend against this, but any added advice would be appreciated.
