• Paradox Haze – Justin talked about this card a little bit on the cast.  Basically Paradox Haze gives you twice as many Braids triggers as your opponents.  Rob had actually tried this in the deck and ended taking it out.  He just didn’t have enough threat density to support the double triggers.
• Heidar, Rimewind Master – You most likely have never heard of this card.  It is a better Zephyr Mage if you have enough snow permanents.  Luckily for Rob, he is running a lot of snow lands.  The other creature that Rob brought up when discussing Heidar is Temporal Adept. The Adept is a good option because it can be used before turn 5 and is not conditional at all.
• Memory Jar/Magus of the Jar – Since the threat density in the deck is relatively low, the jars can help dig really far into the deck if you don’t have a threat in hand.  They also allow you to keep a grip of control spells to use during your opponents turns.
• Quicksilver Amulet – When push comes to shove this does what you want Braids to do.  This is like having a second copy of Braids in your deck.  If you really want, it also allows you to play Braids at instant speed (after being bounced), which is one of the things that Rob wanted to focus on.
• Scroll Rack – Scroll Rack is one of my favorite dig spells.  Scroll Rack can turn bad hands into amazing hands, lets you protect cards in your hand from discard and lets you sculpt your hand for a low mana investment.  It also lets you mediate which cards you pitch to Memory Jar.
• Tidespout Tyrant – This guy is a freaking beast.  He turns every spell into a bounce spell! How much better are counterspells that counter and bounce permanents?

Looking over the list I voiced my opinion over a few of the cards that I thought might be a good place to cut.  I know how hard the trimming process could be so I made some recommendations to make things a little easier.

• Cloudstone Curio – The Curio is not necessarily bad, it is just conditional on having other creatures out that you want to bounce and that aren’t artifacts.  If Rob wants to be bouncing Braids all the time, he will want to depend on spells that work all the time instead of just some of the time.
• Darksteel Colossus – Rob didn’t want to play with this guy’s big brother. Blightsteel Colossus.  I believe that is because Blightsteel is just too simple of a way to win for it to be fun.  I can see that sentiment, but I am still unimpressed by Darksteel Colossus, I feel that Rob would benefit from a threat that must be answered in order for his opponents to prevail.  I suggested that maybe a card like Platinum Emperion would be a better beater.
• Kira, Great Glass-Spinner – Kira does very well at protecting your own creatures, too well.  If we are trying to bounce Braids each turn we can’t have Kira keep countering the bounce spells and effects.
• Lightning Greaves – Lightning Greaves is a great spell.  But like Kira, they can prevent Rob from following the bounce part of his plan.

Me and Rob exchanged a few emails back and forth and he decided to make the following changes;

• DarkSteel Colossus -> Platinum Emperion
• Magus of the Future -> Scroll Rack – Sadly the cards revealed with Magus can’t be played with Braids’ ability.  Losing the Magus does sting a little bit, since Rob will no longer be able to draw a card for 1 mana with Top.
• Lightning Greaves -> Swiftfoot Boots
• Vedalken Shackles -> Tidespout Tyrant – As an answer, Tidespout is just more versatile than the Shackles, since you can bounce all types of permanents while the shackles just deals with creatures.
• Cloudstone Curio -> Erratic Portal
• Wurmcoil Engine -> Sphinx of Magosi – While I didn’t make this recommendation, I think it is a great swap.  The Sphinx is a powerhouse and great card draw.
• Kira, Great Glass-Spinner -> Time Spiral – If you look closely at the deck, it has a lot of mana doublers.  Time Spiral may be used for mana ramp in addition to refilling Rob’s hand.  We had talked about Time Spiral in subsequent emails and I agreed it was probably better than Memory Jar in many situations.
• Kederekt Leviathan -> Temporal Adept – This is a bit of an experiment and we will see how it goes.  These two cards have very different purposed.  It is likely that the Leviathan will find its way back into the deck.
• Lighthouse Chronologist -> Quicksilver Amulet – This might be another card that gets taken out just to be slotted right back in.  We will see in time.  The only reason to get rid of Chronologist is getting too much hate for taking extra turns.  On a combo note, if you gift someone a Chronologist while you have a clone, you lock everyone else out of the game.  You can use that technique to either team up with someone or to single out someone for 1v1 during a group game.

After the tweaks this is his most recent list;
