Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
This deck wins with Calciderm and Bogardan Hellkite. One drawback to this deck you might want to know: Calciderm can’t be targeted by Momentary Blink. But you can still "target" it with the rescue creatures because they don’t actually target anything. It’s a nifty rules loophole that makes this deck work better. And if you want, you can Blink a rescue creature and use its ability to return a vanishing Calciderm that’s about to die. But that’s not why Blink works in this deck, it works because of the other cool tricks you can pull with the card. Instantly gain 4 life and renew the vanishing counters on your Aven Riftwatcher, or you can have fun with Avalanche Riders. Blink it during your upkeep to get around its echo cost for a turn and destroy another land. My favorite trick by far is Bogardan Hellkite. It's a Time Spiral combo, but it's still fun. For those of you who don’t know how it works, you play the Hellkite at the end of your turn. Then you swing with it during your turn, then you Blink it twice (play it and flash it back). If you were counting damage, that’s a possible 20 points you could deal with just 2 cards virtually over the course of 1 turn, assuming they don’t have flyers and you target them with all 3 comes-into-play triggers. Now that’s a beating.
