I also wanted to try something with Twin-combos. The deck started of as a pure UR-combo and somewhat fast evolved into a UR control with a combo kill. I tested against UGB-control, Esper-control and Bant goodstuff just to see if the deck can beat any of them. Deck had huge problems surviving through Birthing Pod, Sylvan Library, Thrun and Sword of Fire and Ice. Otherwise most of the games were quite even and I probably lost whole bunch of games just because sometimes I had no idea what I was doing or how was I supposed to survive and combo through hate at the same time. A lot of games took so long that it would have been pretty hard to play out a full match within time limits.

So the deck looks like this at the moment (there are still a few seemingly random cards because I wanted to test them out):

I cut Intuition along with Gifts so I don't play Noxious Revival any more. Revival was ok though. I would also play non-basic haters if I ever took this in to a tournament.
