The power to control life, death, nature, and the mind is a most intoxicating high.

This deck's strategy is based mostly around trigger effects and combos to remove your opponent's creatures, hand, and life; with several other cards to nullify your opponent's creatures that you can't destroy at the moment, add to your own life total (and reduce your opponent's), recycle your graveyard into your library, and set off triggers and combos.

As with most control decks this one is weak against creature aggro (especially since this one has no creatures at all). Burn decks also pose a bit of an issue, and any deck that's heavily anti enchantment and/or artifact. But with a bit of luck, and the Burning Sands/Tainted AEther affect and/or combo having been activated enough, they shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I dunno much about cards other than those I own, so if anyone has any suggestions to improve upon this deck, please let me know. I'm currently looking into cards to make the ones in this deck indestructible (such as Privileged Position).
