Parallax Tide

[Captain Caveman]

Does anyone have a deck built around the
Nemesis card Parallax Tide? I've been trying
to figure out what the best way to play the
card. It sort of seems like a combo card.
With that in mind I've taken the basic Tinker
model and built this deck all comments and
suggestion are welcome)

4 Voltaic Key
4 Metalworker
4 Grim Monolith
4 Thran Dynamo
4 Ankh of Mishra
3 Masticore
2 Mishra's Helix
1 Eye of Ramos
1 Karn, Silver Golem

4 Tinker
4 Parallax Tide
3 Miscalculation

14 Island
4 Crystal Vein
4 Rishadan Port

The Ports and Helix are meant to force the
opponent into playing more land and if I've
got one or two Ankh out they will take damage

Of course the Ankh will effect me too but the
Metalworker helps generate mana.

Kill Switch is going to cause some problems
put if I leave the Key untapped then I might
be able the untap it, without them being able
to do it again.(If I can keep them tapped
down)[that works, right?]

If anyone has any ideas on how to build a
good deck using P.Tide, please share your
thoughts.

Just some thoughts,

Think about maybe using Iron maiden, and/or Viceling they might do just as much damage as the ankh. If you lay down a Sunder at your end of turn it could be devistating to your opponent. Maybe take out a Masicore for Phyrexian Colossus(sp?).

Why not use counterspell instead of Miscalculation? If your worried about the UU, why not use power sink you have alot of artifact mana.

Just some thoughts. I'm by no means a great deck builder, but it might give guy's who are some different ideas.
