Ideas Unbound is actually Mind Unbound.
So you play paradox haze, and mind unbound. The next turn you will draw 4 cards because you draw 1 for each counter on mind unbound, and you have 2 upkeeps with paradox haze. So, you have the normal card you draw, another for the first counter on mind unbound, and then you get 2 more for the next 2 counters on the 2nd upkeep that turn. That's 4 cards drawn the very next turn after it\\\'s out. You must play Venser's Journal now or perhaps even before you played both enchantments, because as you can see your card draw will get out of hand very quickly. Not only does the journal give you unlimited hand size, but you are gaining life for each card in your hand every upkeep....as as you know, this happens twice per turn. The best part of this combo is that once it is out, you don't spend ANY mana on it at all. The only mana spent is to get these cards into play.
