9/27/13- farewell! but before that...

So this is my idea of abusing the synergy between Sire Of Insanity, Master of Cruelties, and Staff of Nin.

Here are some of the combos used in the deck:

• Sire Of Insanity+Master of Cruelties+Staff of Nin- creates control. limits their options w/o limiting mine too much. and killing the opponent.
• Cyclonic Rift+Sire Of Insanity- "board wipe".
• Ral Zarek+Gilded Lotus- lots of mana. i can drop ral on turn 4 and lotus on turn 5 and still have 6 mana to use.
• Turn +Staff of Nin- target removal
• Heartless Summoning+Mikaeus, the Unhallowed- lets me play creatures earlier and negates the anthem effects to allow Master of Cruelties to still be an effective blocker.
• Ral Zarek's +1 and Tamiyo, the Moon Sage's - 2 for an extra card

Here are the reasons why the other cards are in here:

• Chromatic Lantern is obviously for mana fixing and a little ramp.
• Dreadbore is almost a mini Cyclonic Rift. it gets rid of early creatures, so i have time to build up for the overload.
• Glaring Spotlight and Mikaeus, the Unhallowed protect my creatures. spotlight also serves as a way to get Master of Cruelties through easily.
• Tamiyo, the Moon Sage's 2nd and last ability is the most useful. the second one helps me draw cards if ever needed. her ultimate makes Sire Of Insanity apply only to my opponent.
