This is my renewed version of a deck I post earlier this year.

This deck is built on the combo Chronatog, Stasis, Tanglewire. You give your opponent infinite turns, but he hasn’t a untap phase and every upkeep he have to tap 4 things. With this 3 cards in play this deck wins against 70% of the decks.

There are some cards who will get passed this combo. Cards like oxidize, unsummon, dark Ritual+terror, Swords to Plowshare. For this reason I put into the deck 2 dreamborn muses. This way, the change your opponent will draw one of those cards is very small.

Also I changed Mana Leak for Force of Will. I think Force of Will is better then Foil because you only have to descard 1 card. My last change is to remove Lim duls vault and fevered consevulsion for 4x Standstill. This is a great card, especially when you can play the second turn. I play this deck now for a month, and I loose rarely, the only decks who win are very aggressive goblin decks and very heavy control decks with lot of counter magic.

 

Way to play.

Just play this deck as an control deck. Try to play standstill as soon as possible. You can play chronatog quite quickly, just don’t do it against black or red. These colors will burn or destroy him. Just try to slow down your opponents as much as possible. If you have a lot of blue mana, you can just play stasis, and stop your opponent for a few turns, then use turnabout or boomerang and you can stop you opponent even longer. Also an tangle Wire in the first turn, will slow down goblin decks. When you’ve got your combo in your hand, and maybe chronatog and dreamborn muse already in play( remember not to play dreamborn muse until you haven’t got the entire combo) you can play tangle wire and stasis in the same turn. If its possible, try to have an Force of Will or Counterspell in hand with enough mana.

Remember the variety of uses of Turnabout. This card can stop all creatures for one turn. tap all lands against a blue control deck and give a longer life to Stasis.
