I wanted to build a fairly inexpensive deck that gives you more tap control over the opponents deck than they have. By being able to cheaply tap any (and sometimes all) of their permanents, it should give you the ability to be agile and land damage consistently until you can prepare you win condition.

The obvious miracle bomb here is to play Cryptic Command to tap all of your opponent's permanents after you've accumulated 7 counters on Ral Zarek and you have enough creatures on the board (or a couple Pestermite in hand). Hopefully RNG is good to you and you get at least 3 more turns from your coin flips.

There's a lot of card draw with Crippling Chill , Cryptic Command, Stun, and Tamiyo, the Moon Sage. If the game goes on for a long time, you'll probably get far enough to use Tamiyo, the Moon Sage to beef up your hand and prevent card loss to the graveyard.

Wall of Frost is in the Sideboard for some defense against larger creatures while you make your preparations. Dungeon Geists are there as well if you need more evasion. If you feel you can get an early creature advantage, you can also sub in Ghostly Touch to prevent blocking or to reduce your opponent's mana pool to prevent casting.

Being very new to deck building, I've left a lot of cards in Maybeboard for me to think about. Any suggestions would be great. Stuff that I'm not quite sure how to fix (if they are in need of fixing):

  • No 1 drops.
  • No way to search deck for mana fixing.
  • Not enough land?
  • Very little countering or removal (just Cryptic Command).
