Blue Library Destroyer Deck

I was going through my cards trying to make up a really small, fast deck
to destroy target libraries.  Here's what I came up with:

16 Islands

Creatures:
2x Glacial Walls
2x Thieving Magpies
2x Crafty Pathmage
1x Raven Guild Master
1x Covert Operative

Non-Creatures
2x Index
1x Words of Wisdom
1x Inspiration
2x Boomerang
4x Counterspell
1x Exclude
1x Brain Freeze
2x Traumatize
2x Lightning Greaves

40 cards total.

I think the strategy is pretty clear.  Get out the Lightning Greaves,
two creatures, and the Brain Freeze into your hand.  Bounce the
Lightning Greaves between the creatures continuously, then play the
Brain Freeze.  Since each bounce of the 'Greaves counts as one spell,
and the Brain Freeze has Storm, you can build up the total number of
spells to an insanely high amount and destory *all* libraries in the
game (since Storm allows you to change targets).  The mixture of Crafty
Pathmage and Raven Guildmaster allow you to destroy other decks until
you get the Brain Freeze in your hand.  If you have the mana to spare,
the Traumatize (one of my all time favorite cards) can quickly take the
top half of a library out before you get the right cards out into play
and into your hand.

Since you would want your cards relatively quickly, the combination of
Index and Inspiration/Words of Wisdom helps.  Also, getting the Theiving
Magpie out early in the game helps to speed things along as well.


Of course, this was just made up with what I had available.  I threw the
two walls in there to bring the deck up to 40 cards (I seem to remember
40 being a safe "minimum" in terms of playing).  Ideally you would want
to have more Brain Freeze's just so they play out faster.  I used Words
of Wisdom over Inspiration soley because I only had one Inspiration
available, and with the Index cards I think they provide for some nice
acceleration.

Comments?

Cheers,
Patrick
