It is just a strange version of the Gifts deck. For discussion on card choices and interactions about this deck I refer you to the thread which can be found here.

Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
That version of Gifts is actually not really so much Gifts as it was a Reanimator deck. It was piloted by Mike (a friend of mine) and a few others and they all performed quite well with it.
And that deck is definitely no fluke. It just won the PTQ in Portland and had two other people (one of them the designer of the deck) place in the top eight with it. Five of the sixteen spots in the two NW PTQs have been that deck.
I know it is no fluke............but i was wonderin why no white for yosi lock?
With the cardpool listed, you would need to have white to be able to cast Yosei as there is no way to get Yosei to the graveyard outside of gifts. (Haha, you have no plains. You can have Yosei.) Four Ice Bridges isn't enough to consistently cast Yosei.
The current version of gifts doesn't run white because it doesn't need to. I needs to run Green and blue for gifts and the mana accel (and handy shuffles). It needs black for the removal, especially hideous laughter and soulless revival and other graveyard recursion for the hana kami locks. It used to run white for final judgement. But now doesnt have to due to kagemaro coming in with saviours. Not running the extra colour allows it better mana consistency.:teach:
Here is my Current DeckList. I was thinking about adding Ideas Unbound but it costs 2 Blue & I dont know what to take out for it. Any Help would be Nice, Thanks!!
NOTE: I havent had time to test this current list yet!!

Vengeur Gifts is the fastest deck in the format, if you get an awesome hand. Problem is, that doesn't happen often enough.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, the wisdom to know the difference, and a ****ing chainsaw.
