General strategy

• Keep your opponent's creatures unable to act. All of the main board creatures tap and prevent untapping of enemy creatures such as . Encrust mutes their active abilities and Take into Custody is a easy one mana two turn disable if cast after their untap step. This is included to give you breathing room until you can put out better creatures. Skyline Cascade is essentially a weaker version of the same effect, with the added bonus of mana generation.Neko-Te on your weaker creatures late game makes anyone think twice about attacking you, offering a permanent lock on the creature for equip cost and sacrificing a stronger creature.
• Draw cards. Tamiyo, the Moon Sage lets you draw a card for all of their tapped creatures. Thought you will need to pace yourself (think liquor) until you can drop Tamiyo.
• Defense. You are already locking down their creatures, but Mana Leak can block critical spells and creatures for one mana. Siren Stormtamer keeps your creatures safe from critical debuffs and removal spells.
• Beatdown With few exceptions, your creatures should be mostly unopposed.

Sideboard Options

Jester's Cap is a good way to mess up combo decks.Ratchet Bomb makes token decks cryThassa's Rebuff and Mana Leak throws a wrench into the workings of control decksTormod's Crypt cripples graveyard oriented decks.

I don't think this is the best deck, but this is one of the most fun decks I have played with. Just imagine you doing whatever you want because you hae board control, no matter how much you suck, and have an answer to most strategies.
