Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
The Idea of the deck is quite simple, Keep your opponent's on their toes by forcing them bounce permanents to their hand with the likes of Umbilicus, Temporal spring, Crystal Shard, and Plow Under from the sideboard, all the while replaying your own spells. If possible, playing a Tangle Wire early in the game can be back breaking for your opponents. Forcing them to tap four permanents on each of their turns while you just bounce it back to your hand at your own upkeep with the help of Umbilicus and play it again. All the creatures in the deck can benefit from being bounced and replayed. Sage Owl and Coiling Oracle provide card advantage, while Wall of Roots provides mana acceleration, and can even be bounced to your hand when it gets low on toughness. Patagia Viper and Pestermite only get better when replayed and an early Kavu Titan can always be bounced and replayed with kicker, resulting in a bigger, badder Kavu.

The Sideboard is also quite simple. The Uktabi Orangutan, and Indrik Stomphowler provide a way of dealing with troublesome artifacts and enchantments. Wall of Blossoms and Eternal Witness give the deck more card advantage. Tsabo's Web "turns off" a lot of lands, and the card draw is just gravy. Pithing Needle also "turns off" a lot of troublesome cards in the game, and at 1 colorless mana, it's also a prime target for bouncing with Umbilicus.

Give this deck a try for yourself.
