So this is an idea I just came up with, do you think it will work? Any suggestions? 4 x Teferi's Puzzle Box  4 x Underworld Dreams  4 x Psychic Possession  4 x Wall of Bone  4 x Wall of Frost  4 x Counterspell  4 x Mana Leak  4 x Cancel  4 x Doom Blade  2 x Murder  2 x Elixir of Immortality  4 x Tainted Isle  8 x Island  8 x Swamp  I know the Counters and the mana base need work but like I said I just got the idea and threw a deck together.

You need some card draw to help you find your combo. As it is, that's your only win-con. Howling Mine seems hillariously appropriate. Also, Forced Fruition  should make your opponent cry blood.

I was thinking about draw but I couldn't decide what to cut for it and if you get the box out it lets you dig for the others, any ideas? Fruition whould be awesome but agian I dunno what to cut. Maybe -1 cancel, doom blade, dreams and possession then +2 Howling Mine  & Forced Fruition ?

I would lose the walls. You have enough counters/removal to deal with whatever threats they try to play. As for draw: 4 x Lim-Dul's Vault  4 x Forbidden Alchemy  Really, you want to go through your deck as fast as possible, so Brainstorm isn't that great. Vault is just stupid good for finding combo peices.

I'm always uncomfortable having a deck with no creatures even when I know it should be fine, in the back of my head I always think "what if I NEED to block?" but I think I'll try it and see how it goes
I had forgot about the vault so thanks there, as for Alchemy would Vision Skeins  or Wistful Thinking  not work better, especially after the possession's on the field?

I prefer Alchemy simply because it's an instant. You wont have to commit any resources to casting it before you know if you need to counter/remove something. It also digs deeper than those two, showing you 4 cards of your library.
Also, like brainstorm, you can cast it in response to something to find an answer if you don't currently have one. Very flexible.

That's true I I just don't like the idea of throwing away cards, especailly since in this every is important(even the lands with some of the High costs) to the deck. ok this is what I'm thinking of running now what do you think? 4 x Teferi's Puzzle Box 3 x Underworld Dreams 3 x Psychic Possession 2 x Forced Fruition 4 x Lim-Dul's Vault 2 x Forbidden Alchemy 2 x Vision Skeins 4 x Counterspell 4 x Mana Leak 4 x Cancel 4 x Doom Blade 2 x Murder 2 x Psychic Spiral  4 x Tainted Isle 8 x Island 8 x Swamp

I'd say run rits  to power out the dreams and a faster puzzle box to dig for dreams. Windfall  is cheap for more fishing.
 <----- Loser.

I'll second Pontiac's recommendation of Dark Ritual. A first turn Underworld Dreams sets the right tone, I find. With a Dreams and Puzzle Box in play, bounce becomes quite mean. I use Sunder  and Wash Out  , but Cyclonic Rift  could work, as well. I have learned (the hard way) that with a Puzzle Box out, I never have the countermagic in hand when I need it - perhaps I was simply not running enough of it. Good luck making Forced Fruition work. Cheers!
