Description:

Final edit. Jeeze.

Horsehoe Crab + Hermetic Study = Machine gun.
Horseshoe Crab + Hermetic Study + Charisma = All your creatures are mine.
Horsehoe Crab + Hermetic Study + Curiosity = All my cards are belong to me.

Throw in some Terramorphic Expanse, Evolving Wilds, and Polluted Delta to keep lands dropping for some serious Crab Mill. Crucible of Worlds keeps the Mill coming on strong.

Tossed in a couple Glimpse the Unthinkable to give the Mill a little more severity.

Throw in some Counterspells and Muddle the Mixture to protect my sweet, sweet Crab meat and Enchantments.

Ponder, Preordain, and Transmute cards up in this piece so I can most def get my key cards.

This setup quickly flushes the deck of lands, making Ponder and Preordain all the more effective in getting me what I need, be it the card itself or a Transmute equvilant.

Badda-bing.

Now with sideboard!

FRESH indeed! Great to see this kind of stuff, seriously. It is original, looks like fun, and could honestly be pretty effective.

I'll fry them and eat their claws with lemon and butter! Me gusta.

Wow, this is the most original idea I've seen yet, and pretty random lol. The combination of milling and burning in a mono-blue deck is hilarious. Really good man.

It started out as a joke deck for a contest. I was trying to make a Tribal Crab deck. Tribal Crab is my thing now.

I used to think Terramorphic was kinda dumb until someone used it with Hedron Crab on me recently. Then seeing Crucible in this mix just made me do my evil laugh. Then all the transmute where you can tutor ANYTHING in your deck, man...I think I have most of these cards on hand! Might have to sell my left nut for a Crucible but I've got 2 male heirs already so what the heck.

Congratulations, you are now at the top of the top rated. Definitely original and creative deck! I might run this on cocktrice just for ***** and giggles just to see how well it does :P

As far as the crabs dying there's always Reminisce that costs 2U!

Thanks! Let me know how it holds up. I'm actually thinking of building this to play at the local shop.

Hey, that's a good point. And at 3 CMC that fits into the scheme.

It's a very interesting deck it's nice to see some transmute to fetch your crab or, other well needed cards. It has decent draw cards, and a very well put land base for the land fall. 4/5 in my book.

this deck is pretty sweet,but despite all the transmuting going on,i find it hard to get off the the ground, primarily because it takes 5 mana to get started, i.e. playing horseshoe crab, with 2 blue open to counter spell anything that tries to kill your or disable the crab. i think there needs to be a way to speed up the process. *granted however i dont have crucible of worlds yet
