Why 45 exactly?

Arcane Denial - While often a good counter, it seems to me that this is exactly the wrong one for a discard deck (you want to limit access to cards).

It seems like you took a lot of cards that work vaguely similarly and put them all in the deck. You should probably consolidate the win methods somehow.

I had originally planned the arcanes so they would help themselves deck out, but I forgot to remove from the list when I was typing thanks for pointing them out. And spidey, I tried mana leaks in the past, but around here every one plays mana mania and usually can stop them. Thanks guys, and keep the comments coming.

Instead of Rewind, I would use Dissipate, Force of Will, or Lobotomy. ;)
