Okay, let's do this —Feb. 11, 2017

Main changes: - Artifact ramp package is now much more robust. - Narset is now THE ONLY creature in the deck. The only things she's whiffing on are lands.

Interesting option to deal with the situation! :) I also built a Narset deck because I wanted to build around her broken ability, turns out it's not a whole lot of fun to bring that out among friends when we're just trying to have fun lol

The way you went with it is certainly interesting and really cool! Not the most competitive of course, but if you wanted to go there you would have for pretty much the same approximate value of the cards in this build. I'd only consider one or two additional lands (including Temple of the False God and Hanweir Battlements) and a sturdier ramp package with Fellwar Stone, Coldsteel Heart, Generator Servant and maybe Mind Stone and Worn Powerstone. I don't know if you play the deck within different playgroups, but when the group doesn't know your deck, they'll just turn against the Narset player before they have the chance to feel sorry. If they do you'll be locked out of the game before you can do anything, so in any Narset build - more or less competitive - she must come down as soon as you can possibly make it 1happen. Besides, you'll always be thin on creatures, so she's vulnerable to forced sacks and you're vulnerable to decks that go wide, so you must start pressuring soon and fast.

Also, if somehow decking concerns you, I recommend Learn from the Past. I used to run it in my first tests and eventually ditched it for Beacon of Tomorrows and I've still decked myself in games I got the Beacon countered.

Otherwise, I wouldn't change much because you have your sight set for the aura game and there is no point in changing that shell for any other perks, since it would defeat the purpose of the deck.

I like it a lot! +1 given for the originality!

As I said, my deck is different, but if you want to check it out, feel free to do so! ;)
