Show and Helm U/B

[thepumpkinking]

Me and a friend had this idea and wanted to see what others thought.

Lands:
4 Drowned Catacombs
2 ancient tomb
4 Polluted Delta
10 Island
2 Swamp

Creatures:
3 Emrakul, The Aeons Torn

enchantments:
4 Leyline of the Void

Artifacts:
4 Lotus Petal
2 Helm of Obeidence

Spells:
4 Brainstorm
4 Preordain
4 Show and Tell
4 Duress
4 Force of Will
3 Intuition
3 Spell Pierce
3 Spell Snare

Sideboard:
4 thoughtseize
4 Flusterstorm
4 Wipe Away
3 Progenitius




Sideboard is a work in progress. Basic Idea is to abuse show and tell with either emrakul or Leyline/Helm combo. Duress is to see their hand and find out what their holding before a show and tell.

Let me know what you guys think.

Really innovative use of Duress, have you considered the discard effect?

I've seen and tested a similar build. The combo Leyline + Helm is cold to Maverick, Zoo, and Elves etc. basically any deck that can deal with artifacts/enchantments. Opening with a Lelyine doesn't guarantee a win because finding the other half of the combo can sometimes be difficult as much as resolving it in time. Aside from the fact that Helm is an activated ability and therefore weak against spells that can counteract with it. It is worse than Hive Mind, in my opinion.
