Cast sway in any way, then hope for a simian spirit or mountain with the trap in your new hand for the win.

creative yea.  It is too bad sway costs so much.  Even if you are able to pull this off, assuming you have a 60 card deck and 4 runeflares, your chance of having at least one runeflare is only 40% so it is worse than the flip of a coin (and the chance of winning is even less since you need a mountain and your deck is at least blue and red).

It is also worth pointing out the cost of having 4 of each of these in your deck (that's 8 cards that could be helping you win in another way for a less than 40% chance of winning if you get sway and 10 mana or have some other way to play it).

Cool idea though.

uhhh dude try suspend or jhoria. building a deck like this has lots of options but going the straight mana/chance route i would not recommend it haha.

Doomsday.



Why depend on hope when you can create your own?

This might work, but you need some ways to increase your winning probability.

doomsday won't kill you as long as you have 2+ cards in your hand or play because sway shuffles everything together
