Holistic Wisdom/Chant

[Zadok001]

It occurs to me that a deck working with Holistic Wisdom would seem to function VERY well with the addition of Howling Mine. The card advantage gained by your opponent (2 for 1) is offset by the card quality benefit gained from the Wisdom - The wrong card can become the right card at a moment's notice. This is especially true with Orim's Chant, which allows the card advantage your opponent gains to become essentially null if you can simply hunt up a Chant every turn.

I've got a Turbo-Fog deck (nicknamed "Timmy's Temper Tantrum" or "Mist Again") all worked out, too. G/W, no blue, but it's worked fairly well in my admittably limited playtesting:

Instants
4x Tangle
4x Moment's Peace
4x Holy Day
4x Orim's Chant
4x Lifeburst
4x Harrow

Other:
2x Holistic Wisdom
4x Howling Mine
3x Millstone
4x Restock

4x Brushland
19x Basics (I'm at 11 Forests 8 Plains, but I haven't worked it out perfectly)

The Lifebursts have proved sufficient with the Mines to avoid dying a horrible death to burn spells, ESPECIALLY with Wisdom screwing up math by turning every Instant in your hand into a 3W Instant that gets you 8-12 life. And with 24 Instants, that's nothing to laugh at. The deck has actually performed quite well, much to my shock.

Aww, and here I thought it was called "Which way is 'Charge'?"

I think disenchants of some sort may be needed, and having less faith in lifeburst than Zadok, I'd drop a land for one maindeck Aegis of Honor.

The sideboard looks like this:
3 COP: red (or 4)
3 Aegis of Honor
2 Holistic Wisdom
4 Hero's Reunion
etc...

I'm worried about beating creatureless, or creature-light control decks, because burn is a force.

This is a deck by Tony Sculimbrene, Modified a little by Me.

I think this could be a really fun deck to play.
Unless it looses 90% of the time.

Did I make worse?
Ok then, what would make it better.
