Wincon: Play Thought Erasure (or Duress) to clear opponent's hand to play Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, then swing with 4 unblockable Rat Colony for 20 damage.

• Enough draw to quickly find Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive. Anticipate is generally not the best for card draw but it works for us since it's instant speed and we are really only looking for 1 card which we can filter through 3 cards.

• Blink of an Eye does triple duty in our deck: to protect Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, helping to draw into her when needed, and temporarily remove threats to stall.

• Sideboarding:

• Essence Scatter for Goblin Chainwhirler and maybe Vine Mare
• Negate or Disdainful Stroke for any board wipes or Ixalan's Binding
