Disruption-wise, discard powers the combo and permission isn't viable, especially with Naya Charm. Gy hate are pretty weak (Quest for Ancient Secret, Ravenous Trap) and doesn't actually kill the deck b/c of card draw. All depends how fast the engine can come online; both Spell Pierce and Fog are cheap stalls. Having the first Ascension killed by Maelstrom Pulse/Esper Charm/Into the Roil after investing in 2 sets of 2 spells makes it little harder to get the 2nd one online. Twilight.dec has Hexmage. The mechanic also forces playing cards in 4's, which reduces the versatility. Also I don't see how the deck can survive a Duress + Thought Hemorrhage.If this deck is viable, then Time Warp might also stop sliding downward. With that and 4x Misty Rainforest as only money cards, this might be cheaper than Boros Bush.This card's natural ally is Intuition, which can power AK and Kindle/Flameburst. Too bad Legacy isn't a format where you want to try to resolve an enchantment that doesn't do anything immediately.
