seeing how many people are running mental misstep these days and have how the meta has changed that a control NON tax GW is viable...
i made a variant from my MAV dec and its working fairly well.please guys to poke holes in it for me!!

1 ghost quartergame plan is to basically ramp turn 1... as usual... either; mana dork, zenith arbor, Mox... so 7 total in the deck. then stall lock the opponent with bind / abeyance which both cantrip for more CA and keep a tempo beats game going...
i dont know which i like more between the green zenith with deck or solid #'s MD and a living wish Board... or as i am now a combo of both...
but with Life from the loam works crazy with knight of the reliquary helping with INFINITE:wastland, horizon (draw), Bojuka Bog(wish board grave lock)
Side Board:::--->>>
this deck can easily transition into a combo lock deck with isochron sceptor / solitary confinement as pieces ETC...other stuff in the SB listed above is just ideas for wishing / beating / combo assist / and just plain SB options...
living wish is an incredible power as is zenith but offers more flexibility and can maintain a more solid MD so you dont draw a hand of you 1x of tool box creatures... which sux... i know first hand!
Life from the Loam is not a theme of the deck just another player that strengthens your tool box of lands that the knight of the reliquary brings into reach for you... and yes you want them in your grave but also by casting it once... and get back a wasteland , canopy, forest great CA... (this is speculating that your opponent is NOT killing your karakas / maze of ith) so dredge it back or not... your choice either way its solid...
{ EDIT: also LFTL is great for purging junk off the top of the deck when using sylvan library }
Swords to Plowshares... i want 4x in i really do!! but like you said i already run Low on creature's... and cutting any of the control / tutor spells would be even weaker...
Tarmogoyf doesnt have to be a 4x your completely right and i ws considering doing a split with Scavinging Ooze for some MD GY hate!! but i dont have them yet... then ill test it. and terravore is sweat but i want the 2 drop spots full... i have plenty of 3 drops imo.
the basic idea behind this build was to be 1 off custom enough to surprise my opponent and create misplays on his behalf...
thanks you guys!!!Last edited by AMIODARONE: Jul 18, 2011

I think you're merging too many ideas together.
You've got a wishboard with only one wish. You've got part of your board dedicated to E Tutor, but only one tutor to find any of that with. Then there's the one ofs like Seedtime, Cataclysm, Chant etc that you've got no way of searching for whether they're in your board or your library. I think you need to cleanse your SB and focus on one or two ideas. If you want a scepter board, you need more scepters and consistent targets. If you want a tutor or wishboard, include more tutors or wishes to find the thigns when you need them.
In your maindeck, you've got 4 Bind and 4 Abeyance, but how often are these just 2 mana cantrips? Abeyance seems more like a sideboard card against blue control, but wouldn't something like Choke be better? or more chant, Thrun, Stag, Abolisher, etc.
I'm really not sure what you use bind for most of the time, except maybe to hose Belcher, or save something vs wasteland maybe, but it seems like you'd be better off just dropping more threats or disruption.
To keep things relatively close to what you have I think I'd cut bind and abeyance, and use the 8 slots for 2 more SfM, 2 more Living Wish, 2 More StP, another Equipment (Sword of your choice), and another guy that's fetchable with GSZ (maybe Teeg to save you vs combo game 1). This cuts down on card advantage from cantrips, but will have you more proactively affecting the game more often I think.

@ StealthApples
read the wordS below the list.... the SB is just that... a list of possibilities... NOT a functional SB.
other stuff in the SB listed above is just ideas for wishing / beating / combo assist / and just plain SB options...
the bind i use against fetch lands, waste, vile, other knights, dredge... pernicious deed, EE...very handy...
abeyance also stops abilities for a turn to slow decks down... stops combo, helps against control... dodges misstep... really a strong spell and in the SB ive been sticking 3x E tutor with 2x isochron sceptor and 2x solitary condinement... for a pretty unpredictable Game 2 (3)...
living wish i like... and im going to pull the GSZ down and up the wish to 3x... i much prefer it in the clinch and i hate running a bunch of singlton slots MD... shakey opening hands...
also mana flood is getting close so...
- -1 plains
- -1 dryad arbor
- +1 bojuka bog
- +1 pridemage
- -2 GSZ
- +2 living wish
@ Asiancat... yes and sooooo no.... i suppose... its closer to a Junk list without the Black... then really mav...
