I've always wanted to play a Trix deck so I figured I'd give it a try. Under no circumstances should this ever be played as I can guaratnee that this is far worse than Solidarity, Tendrils, and even Belcher combo, but its still really fun.
In about 5 miuntes I came up with this list:
Land:
4 Flooded Strand
2 Polluted Delta
4 Underground Sea
2 Tundra
2 Scrubland
1 Swamp
2 Island
Creatures:
4 Academy Rector
4 Stormscape Familiar
Other Spells:
2 Illlusions of Grandeur
3 Donate
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Duress
4 Diabolic Intent (sick rRector combo)
2 Plunge Into Darkness (awesome with Rector)
4 Force of Will (barely enoug blue for this)
4 Dark Ritual (doesnt seem like it works but it actually works)
4 Brainstorm
4 Counterspell
After a little testing, I found that it could go off earliest turn 3, with some good control plays for the beginning turns, avegage turn of about 4-5, a little slow i know, but still really fun. The problems that arose with the original list were a lack of card draw and speed. I considered cutting Counterspells for some effect similar to Brainstorm, possibly Serum Visions, although it kinda sucks. I also considered Lotus Petal over Dark Ritual, although I dobut the speed would make much difference.
Overall I can say that this deck is pure suckage, but I'd still like to make the best out of it.
