Description of deck by its author (quoted):
Here's a crazy decking idea: First, cast Astral Slide to Unmorph Cloudscraper or Towering Baloth and sacrifice them to Altar of Dementia. Then cast Death or Glory to do it again, only this time you can also sacrifice some of the largest cyclers in existence. Finish off with a Stroke, which thanks to Wake should make your opponent draw the last 10 cards of his deck.

COMMENTS:  Creative and powerful.  Congrads on winning third place.  Stroke of Genius is why you lost 0.4 points since it is banned in a format.  Asmira, Holy Avenger is an excellent card choice given the altar of dementia.  Also, I love the synergy between all of your cards.  Krosan Tusker, Scion of Darkness, and Slipstream Eel are excellent cycling card choices for the Astral Slide and the Altar-Slide combo is amazing.  Excellent deck and original too.
