I can't begin to count the times when I have an interesting deck idea, then have to forget it when I see how much it would cost to build. There's no way I would - or even could - sink that much money into a deck only to possibly lose consistently, and be unable to spend the additional money to fine-tune the deck and get it to close to even odds of winning. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. And Legacy is completely out of the question. Legacy is the "If you're there, you're there, and if you're not, you never will be" format.
And blaming the players for something they have no control over but are adversely affected by is ludicrous. Magic is supposed to be a game, and games are supposed to be fun. What's fun about assembling a $200 deck only to have it lose consistently to $500-$1000 decks?

This deck is just so slick. Just 3-1'd with it at FNM, and 4-1'd with an earlier version at a previous FNM.
Probably going to adjust the sb, make it 3 D-sphere and 2 Annul instead of the other way around.
Gift of Orzhova on a Heroic creature (especially Fabled Hero) can either put you out of reach or bring you back from the brink. SOOOoooOOO good!

This deck is more white than blue (hence the Ordeal of Heliods rather than Fate Foretold) because most of the good spells here are of the WW variety.
Aqueous Form is just nuts, especially when paired with Ethereal Armor. And the Heroic creatures make the Ordeals pop amazingly quickly.
Hopeful Eidolon is there as a early-game one-drop and a later-game Heroic enabler (not to mention an Ethereal Armor booster).
