Why let blue decks have all the fun? Let's take some extra turns!

This is a Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer semi-competitive EDH deck built around the various Time Walk effects available to red.

There are several combos built into the deck that abuse the Red Time Walk spells: Last Chance , Final Fortune , and Glorious End. There's also artifact Time Walk effects: Magistrate's Scepter, Gonti's Aether Heart, and Ugin's Nexus. The price for glory is high... YOU LOSE THE GAME.

You can avoid the "Lose the Game" clauses on the red time-walks using Sundial of the Infinite, Platinum Angel, and simply winning the game. As a last-ditched effort, chase an Obliterate / Jokulhaups with the beautifully weird Lich's Mirror and be the only one left with a full hand! A well-timed removal effect on the Platinum Angel or Sundial of the Infinite would cause me to lose the game instantly. Slobad grants them indestructibility so that doesn't happen. It would be pretty funny if I lose to my own card once in a while. Your friends can't complain - look how much effort it takes just to avoid losing to yourself!

No risk, no reward!

The deck has combo potential outside of timewalking, too. It's possible to get a kill with Memory Jar / Molten Psyche shenanigans, a well-timed Obliterate with an indestructible board, five or six different Infinite Mana combos combined with draw effects, or good old-fashioned replicated Myr Battlesphere beat-downs. Rings of Brighthearth, Prototype Portal, and Voltaic Key can get very crazy, very fast. Synergy!

The decklist is very tight, so I am not sure what to add or (more importantly) what to take out. I don't want to be vulnerable to having my Plan A disrupted. I would love any feedback or suggestions for cards I've missed. I am thinking about Mindslaver for a "sort of" time walk. Tell me what you'd take out for it, if anything!

There are some price limitations - I still need Warrior's Oath , Crucible of Worlds, and fetch lands. Ideally, I'd also have a Mox Opal.

I love hearing your comments and suggestions. Thanks for reading!
