Its my mono-blue mess with my opponents deck, designed with steeling my opponents stuff and using it against them, along with giving me a decent amount of card draw, and a Commander who is both difficult to remove, and able to finish a game off pretty quickly when needed.

Card Draw:

Archivist : expensive, vulnerable but repeatable.

Concentrate : Draws 3 cards... for 4 mana? Yes please

Divination: Standard card draw spell, surely.

Merchant Scroll: Replaces itself, so not really draw, but tutors too.

Treasure Cruise: Because cruising for cards iis sweet!

This area could do with more adding to it I think.

Stealing Stuff

Hypnotic Siren Expensive to Bestow, but toughens up creature and steals it too. Can act as a chump blocker early on.

Perplexing Chimera: I love this spell. Its just messes around with your opponent's plans!

Roil Elemental : Repeatable stealing whenever I play a land? So all those late play lands are worthwhile? I like...

Siren of the Fanged Coast : Issue with this is they could choose to pay Tribute, but then I get a tougher flier, so no biggie.

Dominate : Scalable stealing, works well for me.

Acquire :Steal your opponents artifacts before they ever get to draw them. There are a lot of artifacts in EDH...

Annex : Steal their lands? Oh this is sweet!

Conjured Currency : This just starts to wreck whole games. The more opponents you have, the more chaos this causes. My favourite card in the deck.

Domestication : Just an outright control card for low powered creatures OR removal for powerful ones? Perfect.

Steal Artifact : Does what it says on the tin. Say that's a nice Blightsteel Colossus...

Take Possession : Non-counterable control? Great news.

Commander Damage Tricks:For when you have had enough of playing with your opponent...

Aphetto Alchemist: Makes my Commander unblockable.

Frost Lynx : Enables an unblockable hit from my Commander, leaves behind a creature.

Niblis of the Breath : Makes my Commander unblockable.

Wall of Frost: If my opponent attacks, enables an unblockable return strike from my Commander.

Briber's Purse : Enables unblockable attacks from my Commander.

Deserter's Quarters : Enables me to win the game with my Commander. nice, junky combo :D

Crppling Chill: instant speed unblockable for my Comander.

Crypsis : A different way to make my Commander unblockable.

Ensnare : Really, really make Tromokratis unblockable.

Triton Tactics: Enables unblockable return strikes from my Commander.

Encrust : Removal that enables unblockable strikes from my Commander.

Singing Bell Strike : Pseudo-removal that makes stopping my Commander expensive. Makes him unblockable against a tapped out opponent.

The rest of the cards in this deck are there for fun, trolling or as place holders for better cards!

Suggestions to improve this are greatly appreciated, however this is something of a budget deck, so it has purposely excluded very expensive, obvious cards. It is also mainly a fun deck, so is perhaps less competitive than it could be.
