How it Works

You have two options for your suspend cards. Cheating (i.e. Clockspinning Buy) or your upkeep.
I seemed to run into various obstacles with both (even when trying to cheat with the upkeep i.e. Paradox Haze Buy).
Waiting forever for creatures to come into play, only to get offed by creature kill, get countered, Remand Buyed or Boomerang Buyed, etc. etc.

It seems that somehow the deck evolved into the deck it is now. I think I finally figured that Paradox Haze Buy did help, when it showed up. And when it stayed on the board. But rather than having extra upkeeps I looked to get 'extra' turns. So in went the Time Walk Buy-variant for this season, Walk the Aeons Buy. Next to go in was Remand Buy which works like cantrip-Time Walk Buy most of the time. Now to steal a couple of more turns, Exhaustion Buy and Gigadrowse Buy both of which accidentally are great at foiling counterspells held back for your suspend-cards.

By a little stretch Repeal Buy and Riftwing Cloudskate Buy can also help to atleast set your opponent back (a little).
Rounding up, Spiketail Drakeling Buy is in because I always hate to see it at the other side plus the deck is a little creature shy. Think Twice Buy and Ancestral Vision Buy for the always welcome card drawing and the finisher off choice is Errant Ephemeron Buy.

I decided to post this deck after getting a 10 - 0 streak on MTG:O's casual room. I have no SB (yet) as I'm a casual player and strictly online since 8th Ed (IRL the new cardface seems icky (opinion)).

Any criticisme is welcome as long as it's constructive.
