I've recently re-tuned this to be more of a grindy control-midrange deck than a combo deck, but the deck still has the Dualcaster Mage/Ghostly Flicker combo to close out games. I ended up cutting the Wanderwine Prophets combo since it was far too situational.

The deck runs a high spell density (especially spells with low CMC) to help maximize the value you get from the wizards that let you return instants and sorceries to your hand. Reanimate and bounce spells can also help you re-use these ETBs even more.

Venser, Shaper Savant is an MVP of this deck. Cloning him on cast and using the clone to bounce the original and having the original target a troublesome spell/permanent is amazing value. This trick is like a more versatile Capsize mixed with a repeatable Remand. Be sure to kill the copy using the legend rule though.
