So this is a little different to what I normally use, a 60 card build designed to lock a field down and simply pummel the opponent into submission from there (Or depending on the draw, simply pummel anyway). It's derived from the False god Lionheart, except I'd like to think this is more...Focused, just drawing and stalling until I can get several crusaders out, wait a turn, play eternity and then the lock begins.

So far I've been testing the build in AI3, with the odd game in PVP1, and short of a poor draw, it performs well enough to get wins, and hence cards for selling/money.

However, I feel it could be improved more, as several games I have found myself reliant on one of the miracles to keep me in the game. I feel firstly the build could do with a full set of sanctuary, to ease pressure on that scenario, but I'm not sure what to replace for them. I'd like to keep all the reverse times, as being able to drop several of them at once, or remove problematic cards (e.g something with butterfly effect, a creature with buffs from blessing) is very useful until eternity is played.

I'm aware that it may not be overly suitable elsewhere, as T50 rainbows with pulveriser will almost certainly kill me due to high permanent reliance and no way to remove it, AI5 I have not tested, and this would probably not be suitable for any False gods.

So yeah, hope someone likes it. I don't often play 60 card decks (not overly huge about rainbows) and I'm surprised just throwing this build together has done okay so far.

Yeah,this deck is a troll deck,RT all opp creatures to lock his draw,prevent other cards,like CC,PC.Completely shut down immolation decks because they have low quanta.

...And your point is...? Did you have anything to say about the build of the deck, something useful?

Let's see, healing, stalling and tons of card draw, I approve.
Eternity is one of the best weapons to combine Crusader with and Light+Time have some nice synergy in general as well. There are many ways you can explore this, be it with Dunes+Blessing for more inevitability against stalls vs Ghosts which are faster in general, more or less Reverse Time depending on how much you want to beat rushes, and more or less phat decks.
However there's one card in this type of deck I consider a must and that's Sanctuary - with them and Eternity you can literally stall for infinite time against AI and only insignificantly less against a human opponent.
I would also reduce the number of Crusaders as they seem pretty useless whe you don't have an Eternity, so you would prefer to draw them late in the game only. Plus you don't really need more than 3 Eternity effects to completely mess up your opponent. I also removed some of the Ghosts for more stallpower as that's the main strength of the  / combination. I added another Procrastination because it combines so nicely with all the healing - it basically doubles the effect of the Sanctuaries.
Here's what I ended up with:

If you like playing with fat decks and getting masteries, then look no further! Personally I had tons of fun tweaking this deck.

While I love Time for its capabilities to eat through decks like Halloween candy, making a 60-card deck is always troublesome. I agree a lot with what 10 men said in regards to the cards that you used. ^^; I do have a somewhat different take on what cards you should use, so bear with me:

This deck (in contrast with 10 men's) focuses more on buffing those Crusaders further to make them more durable against CC attacks (aside from rewind, of course). Yes, Blessing is also used in this format alongside a I also have mixed feelings towards Turtle Shield; in some cases, pure damage reduction can be really beneficial against Adrenaline-spammers, which is why I included the Solar buckler (it's an underplayed card that I feel would also help generate more quanta for you with the additional light cards. And before any naysayers note that Sanctuary can't work with Solar Buckler, note that Procrastination can be switched in immediately to help reap the stalling benefit. Dune Scorpions also take heed of the neurotoxin alternative strategy in case your Ghosts or Crusaders are killed off early.
