4 Chrome Mox

I originally built this deck back in '09 when Fatestitcher was revealed, I used to post on EssentialMagic (used to be known as Rimewind Caster and then changed it to ChrisMeister), and came up with the idea for the deck.

The basic idea is to mill your graveyard, reanimate Karmic Guide, after that Kiki, and finally Pestermite.

I don't know if its any good, but I know I used to have some fun with it back in the day.

Cool deck, bears much resemblance with http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?21377-Deck-The-Four-Horsemen-Orb-Monolith
I was trying a second untapper in that deck (Alphetto Alchemist) but Fatestitcher is just better. Fatestitcher costs less than Monolith but a creature removal will stop the Fatestitcher combo, as far as I can tell.

Edit: You dump Fatestitcher by Intuition, Thirst for Knowledge and Mesmeric Orb mills. Have these been enough, are there better options?

Its true, I forgot about the Orb Monolith deck, and during testing, the three cards "have" been enough most often than not, but I recall a game where all I had in play were 2 Mesmeric Orbs in play, and some other irrelevant things (as in, no draw or tutor whatsoever) and I just milled my opponent into oblivion. :)

Was not a win I expected to have, but a win nonetheless. :)

I guess there's Entomb and Buried Alive (Unearth is AWESOME).

Deceiver Exarch is probably better than Pestermite, as it doesn't die to bolt.

I was actually looking for the name of that card :)

Thank you :)

I even told myself that it was going to be a better choice than Mite because its a ''bit'' harder to kill, not much. But I really do LIKE Mite's Flying.

EDIT: I changed it up a bit
