Hypothesis: Cipher + Unblockable = Not too bad

Updated Hypothesis: Ciper + Unblockable + Double Strike = Even Better

So, the basic concept here is making use of the new Cipher mechanic with unblockable creatures/Flying creatures. The second focus of the deck at the present moment appears to be discarding the opponents hand and gaining card advantage. As it stands, it has a fun feel to it while playing, but it seems slow since the Cipher cards are generally four or more mana to cast.

Coastal Piracy provides disgusting amounts of draw with unblockable creatures poking the opponent. Im considering adding Lightning Greaves for the shroud and free equip cost. From what I can gather Cipher never targets the creature when it is encoded on it, so I shouldnt run into any issues there aside from Helm of the Ghastlord and Stolen Identity. (I may have to move the Greaves for Helm to target the shrouded creature, and Stolen Identity cant target a shrouded creature)

The new Cipher card Hidden Strings is pretty nice, considering it can untap lands. I'm adding a few of those.

Double strike triggers Cipher for each hit.

Thoughts are appreciated!
