The deck is pretty straight forward, get your angel on the field protected. it's easy, on a decent hand you can end turn one with one of the urza's lands, sol ring, and sylver myr in play. next turn drop a land and you have 5 mana on turn 2. if you had all 3 urza's and maybe either beseech, tower of fortunes, or tinker in play then you are in great shape.if you have tinker, then tap the myr and the ring for mana and use tinker to grab your angel. now the choic is yours. if you have an island in your hand with the robe of mirrors great, ac the myr. but make sure you have a way to tap for an island at all times (as in do not sac you only way to tap for blue). if you do have an island sac the myr for the second part of tinker, if not sac the ring, you might not need it any how. turn 2 ends for you. now they may be on turn 2 or 3 but unless they happen to have a destry artifact/creature spell they are in for a rough time. if they to not find a way to ditch your angel then you have this in the bag, well for the most part. you enter turn three, draw, drop you island, or an urza's land depending on the move you made last turn and play the mirrors on the angel. you now end turn three with a shrouded platinum angel. Most decks you play against will not have an answer for this and if they do they might not have it in their imedant hand. no to kill them with out waiting for them to mil, if you saced the myr fantastic. you can use your mirror golem once you get it. play it with imprint your myr, unless they have a creature in their grave yard then use theirs. now go to town with your unblockabl golem. if you draw any of the swords equip the golem to hasten things up. Now you are probably saying you will not get any of the parts. on average you start with at least half of the things you need. i often use tinker to grab things like sol rings if i need mana, or tower if i have each urza's land. then draw every turn you can to get the parts, al the while using bottle gnomes to gain life and block. Also use the ornithopters and mirror golems for blocking. there is no side board because it still needs to be made extended, wich means no sol rings for starters. This is the deck as i owne it, so yes i would like a few more cards for it. I am also going to alter it to run extended.
