My budget take on a potential Enigma Drake tempo deck. My focus is more on disruption and card flow rather than an aggressive prowess build. Unsubstantiate in particular seems to be a criminally underutilized card in these types of decks, as well as Take Inventory.

Trying to decide whether to include an energy subtheme with Harnessed Lightning+Glimmer of Genius, or an added madness theme with Fiery Temper+Lightning Axe. Neither seem particularly necessary right now as the deck flows very nicely as is, but both are powerful additions worth considering. Thing in the Ice   is of course an amazing card, but I'm trying to keep this fairly budget and don't want to buy any before rotation.

The sideboard is a work in progress as I haven't played the standard meta in awhile, so it's just typical aggro/control defences right now.

Any constructive criticism would be much appreciated!
