As the name implies, this deck won't make you very many friends. Sen Triplets is like the uninvited guest who comes to your birthday party, eats your food, drinks your beer, wets themself whilst passed out on your couch and drops a bomb in your bathroom right before he leaves with your girlfriend....

The theme of the deck is artifact based and relies on disruption and thievery to defeat an opponent.

The Little Engine That Could

Sen's Zen is specifically designed to cast as many cards as possible out of an opponents hand. Paradox Engine makes that possible. The deck is loaded with mana rocks which all untap every time you cast a spell. If you add Mycosynth Lattice to the mix, everyone's butt cheeks will clench up faster than you can say "I dropped the soap"

Flash it if you got it!

I didn't realize how OP flash was until I played this deck. Originally the flash cards were specifically to flash Sen Triplets in before my turn because the amount of hate she receives but it ended up working so well with this deck I had to put in a couple more. So far I runLeyline of Anticipation, Vedalken Orrery, Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage and Shimmer Myr. Casting Bribery or Treachery during someone's attack phase can be crippling and that's just the tip of the iceberg to what you can do with all spells firing at instant speed.

Bounce Wit Me!

Bounce cards never impressed me before with the exception of Cyclonic Rift but with Sen, bounce cards are amazing! Pesky Planeswalker got you down? No problem! Just bounce and steal it for yourself! With Paradox Engine and Capsize its possible to bounce all of your opponents nonland permanents back to their hands and then cast them all!

Venser, the Joy Bringer

The additions of Teferi and Tezzeret don't need to be explained,but why would you add Venser, the Sojourner you ask?

Uhhh Gilded Drake anyone?

I'll take a double Snapcaster Mage please!

Everyone at the table making fun of you for using your Copy Artifact on a Throne of Bone? BOOM! It's a Wooden Sphere

He also works well with Mana Vault, Grim Monolith and Basalt Monolith if you don't have any other untap cards. What a stud!

Win Cons

The Win Cons with this deck are endless because you are playing with other people's cards.

You down with OPC?

Yeah you know me!

But the most common way your opponents lose is.....

A good old fashion scoop...

Most people don't want to wait for you to cast your whole deck or graveyard. Or they don't want to finish after you have a Kill Switch lock down or a Hurkyl's Recall your everything when combined with Mycosynth Lattice
