Has Anyone seen a Tyranny deck yet?

Its based on the combo: Phyrexian Tyranny + Teferi's Puzzle Box

Opponent:
The idea is to force Your Opponent to draw lots of cards with Teferi's Puzzle Box, whilst taking 2 damage for each card drawn from Tyranny. Possibly land destruction?

Stone Rain
Pillage
Rain of Tears
Despoil

Something like that.

You:
Have to stay alive long enough for the combo to go off, also You don't what to have cards in Your hand.
at least if You are holding make sure You do the math and Your Opponent takes lethal damage first.

Any ideas, or deck lists.

Probably the best working base would be to try to modify the classic Sandsipoise engine, as the two decks are similar in construction. However the greatest weakness in the Tyrrany deck is that you actually have to be winning when you cast it, or he`ll simply beat you down before you can win by the combo.

Basically I think it sucks. But feel free to prove me wrong.

I think there were a few articles on this deck at starcity a week or two ago. They were pretty good, explained card choices, etc.

Having actually tested the deck, I found it to be completely terrible. The main problem with the deck is it wants to do too many things. It wants to Ankh Tide you, it wants to play Puzzle Box, it wants to empty it's hand, and on and on and on.

Most of the time, however, the deck just stalls. And then when it stalls, the only thing it can do is kill itself via Tyranny or Ankh.

There may be more than three decks to play in Standard right now, but this is *not* one of them.
