I'm improving a casual deck for my friend based on his Conundrum Sphinx, his favourite card. We're going full haywire on cost, since it's been both his and my dream to pimp this deck out with insane cards, like back in Fate Reforged, when he bought a fat pack and got 2 Ugin, the Spirit Dragon's. He then later bought 4 boosters of Eternal Masters and opened 2 Force of Will's. He put them into his Conundrum Sphinx deck, and suddenly, the deck started becoming evil and really effective. He later sold those cards because he needed the money, but now that he has a job, we plan on returning the deck to it's former glory, then sprinkle it with death.

The deck idea is the same. Playing around with Conundrum Sphinx and it's topdecking shenanigans. With unfair, unrelenting cards like Mana Drain and Counterbalance, supported by cards like Sensei's Divining Top, Mul Daya Channelers and Courser of Kruphix.

The deck used to play with 4x Counterspell's, and they worked. But then why not play with Mana Drain instead? Should top with potentially being able to get an early Ugin, the Spirit Dragon out.

I've been thinking about adding simple things in like Wurmcoil Engine and Batterskull due to Mana Drain, what do you think? The plan is to keep it somewhat consistent.
