Is there something I'm missing with the Dubious Challenge? Isn't you opponent always just going to choose the blink creature?

[rilonian]

Yeap, they choose the blink creature, but you choose Emrakul. Otherwise, if you don't get them both in the top ten, you can choose two blinkers, and just blink the creature your opponent chose.

[grollm]

But who gets priority on the blink? Don't both triggers happen at the same time?

[rilonian]

It would work this way: you cast Dubious Challenge, and it resolves. You look at the top ten cards of your library, and you choose Emrakul and a blinker. Dubious Challenge put the creatures in play, so you don't cast it. Thus, the trigger ability of Emrakul doesn't fire up. If your opponent choose Emrakul, you choose the blinker, and you blink the Emrakul your opponent controls, so it goes back under your control in the EoT. On the other hand, the most common thing is that you opponent choose to get the blinker and let you have Emrakul. This way, at least he/she gets a creature.

ahhh yeah, because once it blinks it goes back to the control of the original controller. Very interesting interaction. One I definitely wouldn't have thought of. Very creative!

Thanks for your compliment . The deck works surprisingly well in my tests on XMage. I tried to create a sub-theme of value-blinking, with Merfolk Branchwalker and Kitchen Finks, so you can work if your Dubious Challenge combo doesn't work. Perhaps the main problem is you can't find your combo pieces reliably enought. Thus, I have added the WG Scry lands so you can find them. I have yet to test them, though.
