The Retired-You Are Not An Astronaut

Another deck to set aside!
3 Simic Signet
1 Misers' Cage
1 Ebony Owl Netsuke
1 Skullcage

2 Viseling

4 Arcane Laboratory

4 Arcane Denial
4 Storm Seeker
3 Moment's Peace
3 Remand
2 Evacuation
8 Forest
3 Skyshroud Forest
10 Island
2 Hinterland Harbor

3 Prosperity
4 Temporal Spring
2 Turbulent Dreams

What's the goal here? To slow the game to a crawl via Arcane Laboratory, draw a bunch of cards with Prosperity, and then chip away at life totals with Viseling, Misers' Cage, Ebony Owl Netsuke and Skullcage before using the finishing blow of Storm Seeker.

So, why am I taking this apart? Because I have a RUG that is also doing something like this. And by 'this' I mean: it wants to win with some of the exact same cards. Which means I have two decks half-assing a win condition, instead of one deck whole-assing it.

And I like the RUG one a little more, in part because of the redundancy Red provides, so I'm stripping this one down, putting Arcane Laboratory and Remand into the RUG one (that combo is just so delightful), redistributing the lands into decks that need the color fixing and moving on.

One more deck that can hit the road.
