Challenge of the Week: Galepowder Mage

4x Bitterblossom
4x Tidehollow Sculler
4x Esper Charm
4x Kitchen Finks
2x Jace Beleren
4x Mulldrifter
4x Cryptic Command
2x Ajani Goldmane
2x Elspeth, Knight-Errant
2x Liliana Vess
3x Galepowder Mage
25 lands

This deck is meant to confuse your opponents into submission. Early game is control and draw and life-gain. Late game is dependent on what you draw, but the basic idea is to get down a planeswalker (protected by bitterblossom) and next turn galepowder mage. It is kind of a tool-box approach; you can either go aggro or control at that point. Giving the galepowder mage and your other fliers vigilance and putting +1/+1 counters on them (with Ajani Goldmane) is pretty pimp. Drawing an extra card for four turns is pretty hot (with Jace). Bitterblossom + Elspeth, Knight Errant equal win. Liliana Vess + Esper Charm can make your opponent discard three cards.

Its kind of a novelty approach, but it might work enough to be amusing.
