Design Philosophy: Tutor and force through Dreamhalls. Win the game on spot by
chaining in draw spells. Draw spells should be moderately costed (less than 6
mana), and instant speed so that they can bait counterspells. Avoid draw 7
spells as they are symmetrical.

Extra: Is it possible to abuse the cheapest 3 mana cascade spells in this
shell, landing it to 2 cmc decisive spells (Oath, Demonic?), while otherwise
get around with spells like Magma Opus etc.?

SB:
-1 Lotus Bloom
-1 Talisman of Indulgense
-1 Show and Tell: Doesn't have too many good targets: Progenitus, Halls, Bargain.
-1 Replenish
-1 Three Wish (Does not work well with discard of Dream Halls
-1 Promise of Power (sorcery)
-1 Orim')s Chant
-1 Grim Monolith (though getting rid of colorless spell (bombos with Dreamhalls) might be more desirable
-1 Drastic Revelation (sorcery)
-1 Master the Way (sorcery)
-1 Spelltwine (sorcery)
-1 Overflowing Insight (sorcery)
-1 Progenitus (not necessarily needed as not streamlined with the rest of the deck's game plan, but this kill condition helps to finish the game before time.)
-1 Time Stretch (Could this be harnessed for infi turns loop)
-1 Tendrils of Agony (Same thing as with Progenitus: not a stream lined kill as Cruel Ultimatum, but hastens the outcome before time and can save my ass (life gain + fuels Bargain if needed) and Tendrils is uncounterable threat after all). If the deck can support these 2 "filler slots" (Progenitus and Tendrils), they are justified in the build. After all, playing more than 1 kill is good because of Diminishing Returns.
-1 Cruel Ultimatum
-1 Mind's Desire
-1 Temporal Cascade
-1 Brilliant Ultimatum
-1 Yawgmoth's Bargain
-1 Conflux (always tilts the game straight out by unlocking the "critical mass" cards when resolves with DH)
-1 Diminishing Returns (never used this much. Has symmetric effect with Dream Halls and because the RMFtG-issue --> though, extremely bad luck if eats *all* the 3 kill cards or DH before it's tutored.)
-1 Time Spiral
-1 Relearn
-1 Ill-Gotten Gains
