This is a deck that is about skipping your turn. Sounds crazy right?

Here are the interactions that make this playable.

Leyline of Anticipation to flash out whatever you would like when its not your turn.

Seedborn Muse & Awakening to untap your lands on other players turns.

Burgeoning to play lands on everyone's turn.

Psychic Possession, Mystic Remora, Rhystic Study & Consecrated Sphinx to draw on other players turns.

Seems a bit more playable now right?

There are a list of cards that are beginning of upkeep or end of turn that will effect the board that we want to avoid.

Cards that make you want to skip your turn. Show

---

-Damage: Spellshock, Sulfuric Vortex, Manabarbs, Havoc Festival

-Sacrifice/control: Destructive Flow, Smokestack, Magus of the Abyss, Mana Vortex, Land Equilibrium, Tangle Wire, Hope of Ghirapur, Lavinia of the Tenth, Reflector Mage to prevent commanders from being played, and Lethal Vapors

-Chaos: Planar Chaos, Dovescape, Bottomless Pit, Quicksilver Fountain

Now i'm sure you are starting to get the idea on what makes this deck tick. But how do we stay alive while skipping turns?

Ah ah ah ah stayin alive, stayin alive Show

---

Here we utilize the 'Until your next turn' clause.

Chronomantic Escape can be played early so we can build the field and get ready to skip our turns.

Disrupt Decorum Yep, this counts for every turn you skip.

Marisi, Breaker of the Coil Another Goad card but requires a swing and a hit.

Parallax Wave to exile some heavy hitters and the best part, Fading is an upkeep trigger.

Solitary Confinement This card, this card right here. If possible, play this ASAP when you are ready to skip your turn.

Soul Echo and Delaying Shield are replacements for Solitary Confinement which is a must.

Island Sanctuary makes attacking extremely hard.

Protection:

Teferi's Protection For when things get extra hairy.

Sterling Grove and Greater Auramancy to protect our enchantments.

Smoke to limit attacking damage.

Kira, Great Glass-Spinner 2 control spells per creature.

Glacial Chasm to prevent damage all together.

Counters/control:

Pact of Negation, Misdirection, Force of Will, Force of Negation, Foil, Disrupting Shoal, Commandeer

The best part is that these can be cast for alternative costs so when you are out of mana, you arent vulnerable.

Now for the the part everyone is waiting for....

How to skip your turn. Show

---

Repeatables:

Magosi, the Waterveil works really well with Awakening and Seedborn Muse or just a spare . Thats right, a deck that actually can use Magosi, the Waterveil correctly LOL

Chronatog Once each turn including your opponents.

Chronosavant just make sure it dies then you can pay the .

Chronatog Totem but requires .

One offs:

Eater of Days 2 skips.

Meditate skip plus some card draw.

Now this one is special.

Lethal Vapors What makes this special? Well you can stack the destroy clause and skip as many turns as you want. Not so special you say? Well play Teferi's Protection first and skip your next 1000 turns. You are in the game but not at the same time. Imagine your opponents face when doing this!

Grand Abolisher helps with this combo by preventing interactions on my turn.
