Agro decks don't stand much of a chance against this deck because all those damage effects become useless due to all my fog effects, right now my only problem is blue control decks and green reds artifact destruction which is why i went with Trading Post. ill playtest with Beast Within to take out Tamiyo, the Moon Sage and other annoying planeswalkers. Thank you mserron for suggesting White Sun's Zenith it works well as an alternate win condition, I would prefer to use Entreat the Angels but I don't have any. so far with White Sun's Zenith I get at least 6 cats which could win me the game if I don't get my Door to Nothingness out or if it gets destroyed.

You could sub in Moonmist for a cheaper fog effect, sideboarded out when you actually face werewolves.

Agree with the guy above, Moonmist, if you're set on the fog direction. You have no swamps or mountains even though you've got land-fetch for them. 4 Birds, no need for Gilded Lotus/Vessel of Endless Rest when you're in green w/ rampant growth/farseek/birds(Switch to Somberwald Sage). 4 Ponder, get some Hinterland Harbors or other pro-forest lands if you can. Archaeomancer is Snapcaster's not as capable little brother, switch them. Trade out Mind Unbound for something more immediately powerful(spelltwine? Primeval Titan You have lots of options when dealing with 5 color). Take out cavaran vigil since you can't activate it's morbid reqs. Put in some blue staples like Tap/Bounce/Mana Leak.

In terms of what I'd do with this deck, I love fog but it's kind of bad - I'd get myself some more bodies that I don't really care about(Solemn, Borderland Ranger, Birds, Dawntreader Elk, Augur of Bolas) as well as draw(Ponder, Think Twice, Forbidden Alchemy and maybe a Buried Ruin in case I throw away my own Door)and land fixing to get to Door.

Somberwald Sage won't run the Door to Nothingness , so the Birds are more vital to the deck.

Also, here's how I get to the Door: Kessig Repository. card:Druids' Repository can supply the mana, and I'm just attacking as unrelentingly as possible to do it.

This deck works, the Gilded Lotus and Vessel of Endless Rest is essential at the moment for that extra mana at the start and later. I was thinking of an agro deck with card:Druids' Repository but I've always wanted a turbo fog deck. u chose Mind Unbound because I had 2 and I needed a descent card which helps me draw more, it was either that or Staff of Nin . So far testing verses tokens and agro goblin burn has been good and I learnt a few things.

@Long Somberwald Sage is replacing Gilded, not Birds

@Hi, if you're set on Mind Unbound, ok, I can't change your mind, lol. But lower CMC stuff will let you draw faster, and in today's standard environment, you want to end the game by turn 6, not start. But hey, if it works where you are, forget what I said.

Somberwald Sage only works for creatures, this is a turbo fog deck its ment to stall as long as I need to get the door. I am still trying to find a replacement for Mind Unbound I need a constant source of extra draw and I didn't want to use Rites of Flourishing or Otherworld Atlas which normal turbofog decks use because it gives my opponent the extra draw too. I might add a few Forbidden Alchemy s but ill see how playtesting goes.

whoops my mistake on the Somberwald. Reading Comprehension FTW

it feels like you are trying to draw your deck in to many directions using all the diffrent colors. what you wanna focus on is quick mana and card drawing. And for a nothingness deck i really recommend Rites of Flourishing since it will help you get double mana in all colors needed faster. Id also recommend you to take out gilded lotus for rampant growth that will do so much more for this deck. for more ideas take a look at my door to nothingness fog deck deck:door-to-nothingness-fog

But Rites of Flourishing gives your opponent that advantage too. Why does no one like Gilded Lotus I think it's an amazing card 5 for 3 extra mana and it draws away all the anti-artifact spells so my Door to Nothingness is safe. I tried with Rampant Growth but it wasn't working out for me, I don't know why though, ill retest with that and I had a suggestion to try Trading Post which does everything apparently, what do you guys think of that card?

@raisinbman lol, your not the first to make that mistake.
