The main goal of this deck is to convince opponents that it's a waste of resources to attack me, while I get ready to take the whole table out at once.

My win conditions are:

1) Hurricane or Squall Line + Glacial Chasm + Eon Hub: Glacial Chasm keeps the damage from hitting me, while Eon Hub keeps me from having to pay the Upkeep cost for Glacial Chasm.

2) Gelatinous Genesis or Hydra Broodmaster: make a crap-ton of tokens

3) Stroke of Genius or Blue Sun's Zenith or Prosperity + Psychic Corrosion: drop Psychic Corrosion right before I mill myself for half of whatever my opponents' biggest library is and mill the whole table

4) Psychosis Crawler + Stroke of Genius or Blue Sun's Zenith: mill myself for however many cards it takes to kill pretty much everyone, and if anyone is left over, Psychosis Crawler will be plenty beefed up by my hand size

From there, I have a bunch of cards I can use to ramp, draw cards, and prevent damage from hitting me. I don't have a ton of counterspells in here, mostly just to avoid the "blue hate" that I tend to get just for playing a UG deck. I do have a lot of creatures that either tap for mana, tap to draw cards, or tap to untap other things. With Seedborn Muse out, this gives me a lot to do on other player's turns. Other cards like Mystic Remora and Burgeoning help steadily gain value while my opponents are playing too. A good move in this deck is to play Early Harvest to untap all of an opponent's basic lands, and then Drain Power to move it into my floating Kruphix-pool before I drop it into some big X spell. Let me know what you think could be improved. This is my one deck, and I'm trying to refine it to be as much fun as possible. It's been a slow, slow process getting it to this point. It's the first deck I've ever built, being a new Magic player, and it's been a ton of fun tinkering with it.
