My own personal version of BtL Control, now featuring even more tricks!

I'm basically now utilising what I think is the quintessential 5 colour control shell, with Treasure Cruise for draw and Crackling Doom for value, along with a sneaky Silumgar's Command for some sweet tech.

But Kyle, you can't fetch Ob Nixilis Reignited with BtL, what's the point? And why the Dark Petition?

Well friends, imagine a long game where you're grinding super hard, but you've run out of cards and have a singular Bring to Light in hand and no more good tech left in the deck apart from Siege Rhino. Now you can Btl a Dark Petition and grab perhaps a Treasure Cruise or even an ob nix, and then play them immediately to put you back on top! Or perhaps go and get a den protector and morph it face down with the Dark Petition mana to then flip and get whatever sweet tech has been put in your graveyard. Now that's a trick.

+1 if you like, and leave me a comment down below if you have an opinion.
