    Ok. Do you want to find someone else to draw cards for us, or do we go with the honor system? I can map random number generation from invisiblecastle to cards quite easily.

    All right, I've generated my hand.

    "This will be interesting", the old wizard mumbles. "First, let's gather a little power..." With a gesture, a vast spread of frozen tundra appears behind him.

    Much annoyed by the continuing lack of additional power sources, the old mage decides to try something a little unorthodox - countering his own spell.

    With a single word, the mage summoned a faerie to his side. It whispered something in his ear before disappearing. He saw a vision of the next minutes. He drew 2 cards ((more creatures than you)) He shouted something, but was drowned out by a roar from the cyclops, which attacked

    With a grunt of effort, the old mage disrupts the faerie before it can deliver its advice.

    A beautiful fountain joins the scenery behind him, but no more comes of it as of yet.

    Play Force of Will, discarding Stasis and paying one life instead of the mana cost, countering Advice from the Fae. Put those two cards back in your library.

    On my turn, play Hallowed Fountain.

    With a curt cutting motion of his hand, the old mage snaps the magic calling the warrior to the field. He grimaces as the cyclops attacks again, but looks at the power he has amassed so far and is not discouraged.

    Sensing an opportunity, he calls another fountain to the field and seizes hold of time itself.

    Tap Tundra and Nimbus Maze to cast Counterspell, countering Kamahl.

    On my turn, play another Hallowed Fountain, this time paying the cost to have it not tapped.

    Play Stasis, paid for with Land Cap and a Hallowed Fountain.

    Life: 11
    Cards in hand: 5
    Lands: Tundra, Nimbus Maze, Land Cap (tapped, depletion counter), Hallowed Fountain x2 (1 tapped)
    Cards in play: Stasis

    Neither of us gets an untap phase as long as Stasis is in play.

    Also, I think you should have only 4 cards in hand now. I countered Advice from the Fae.

    You ended last turn with all lands tapped. With Stasis in play, none of them get to untap, so where did the mana to cast those two spells come from?

    ((No, it's the entire untap phase. NOTHING gets to untap normally for either of us. This makes paying the upkeep for Stasis somewhat problematic for me in the long term, but there are ways to deal with that.

    I take it you don't like weddings? Or was that a comment about Stasis?))
