Solar Flare Get There

I really like vanish into memory, alot. So i've thrown together a random list of cards that sound like it could be played with at least some effect.

I don't know about land base right now, suspect that snow lands would be played, along with sheets, basically 24 land.

9 creatures:
3 aeon chronicler
3 shriekmaw
3 phyrexian ironfoot

30 Spells: (stuff that makes Ben happy)
1 sacred mesa
4 rune snag
4 cryptic command
4 cold steel heart
3 coalition relic
3 wrath of god
2 damnation
3 ancestral visions
3 vanish into memory
2 liliana vess
1 loxodon warhammer


I know its 63 cards, but honestly i can't find anything to cut, perhaps the ironfoot. Also i'd love to throw in PROFANE FTWs help me out here guys, I'd also like to perhaps throw in a mind shatter as a 1 of..

GTFO VANISH INTO MEMORY

hmm i like the idea of ancestral visions in a big mana-style deck. i think earwig squad is bad news for you though. you don't have that many threats. i don't know what the solution is though, just play more creatures i guess.

I posted this on the TCG Player Forums...

Gay Flare by Solomon

3 Aeon Chronicler
1 Archon of Justice (darkhorse card to get rid of pesky perms and can bring back with Beacon)
1 Crovax, Ascendant Hero (kills girly men, pumps up Pegasus tokens)
1 Divinity of Pride
1 Godhead of Awe (turns other critters into girly men)
4 Kitchen Finks

1 Liliana Vess

1 Beacon of Unrest
3 Beseech the Queen (not sure if these will be as good unless I get the mana base right?)
4 Coldsteel Heart (is there something better?)
3 Condemn (I feel like this card may be the way to go)
4 Damnation
1 Loxodon Warhammer
3 Oblivion Ring
1 Sacred Mesa
4 Thougtseize

(the manabase needs work)
4 Caves of Koilos
3 Fetid Heath
1 Reflecting Pool
3 Snow-Covered Plains
6 Snow-Covered Swamp
1 Springjack Pasture
2 Sunken Ruins
1 Underground River
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
2 Vivid Marsh

I could just go with Bitterblossom and take out the Crovax, Godhead and Mesa package. What do you guys think?

if you were to recreate old solar flare into todays format you would play something like this...

1 crovax
2 oona, queen of the fae
1 platinum angel
4 kitchen finks
4 damnation/wrath
4 prismatic lens
3 coldsteel heart
2 aeon chronicler
4 mulldrifter
2 shriekmaw
3 mannequin
2 puppeteer clique
4 ancestral visions

2 sunken ruins
3 mystic gate
1 river of tears
5 island
2 swamp
3 plains
3 underground river
2 adarkar wastes
3 nimbus maze


mana base sucks, cant beat faeries, and blah blah

True, true. Still, it would be fun to proxy it up and play it out. I'll have to try Platinum Angel.

Another version...

Homo-sapian Flare ver.2 by Solomon

3 Aeon Chronicler
4 Kitchen Finks
1 Oona, Queen of the Fae
1 Platinum Angel

1 Liliana Vess

1 Beacon of Unrest
3 Beseech the Queen (not sure if these will be as good unless I get the mana base right?)
3 Bitterblossom
4 Coldsteel Heart
3 Condemn (I feel like this card may be the way to go)
4 Damnation
1 Loxodon Warhammer
3 Oblivion Ring
4 Thougtseize

4 Caves of Koilos
3 Fetid Heath
2 Reflecting Pool
3 Snow-Covered Plains
6 Snow-Covered Swamp
2 Sunken Ruins
1 Underground River
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
2 Vivid Marsh

I'm thinking of cutting a land because I end up with a shite load. Oona does help in this regard though because when she comes out you can usually mill for a ton. Aeon Chronicler is plain nutty! I just can't see why he isn't played more because there are times when you suspend a couple and just have an avalanche of CA. The deck is really cool so far and with the right tweaks and SB it could be a contender.
