@Brass-Man also had a really cool BG survival deck that could very easily be made powerless. It also had very few (if any) duals.
Moxen in that deck aren't really great, -you play Collector Ouphe which shuts them off. They also can't be tutored with survival and Elvish Spirit Guide can be.
I was thinking it would be more of a value play against MUD and BUG type decks.
I've always liked this effect. Is it vintage playable in this form at 1cc?
This is bad in vintage. You could play it in modern with that top deck tutor they just printed, I wonder if there is some design space they (WOTC) are trying to push?
I would use a gitaxian probe in a combo list and maybe a mystical?
Just want to mention that in a deck like this Grafdigger's cage is really good, asymmetrical, grave hate.
I was looking at a draw 7 ish deck that uses a land mana base instead of rituals. Stuff like lotus vale is good too if use time spiral.
