I have been playing this deck for about a week and it has been doing exactly as I want it to do. I have played it at 2 different tournaments in town and I get at least top 4. Basically its a little bit of board control and hand control along with some recursion.

With Claim + Kitesail Freebooter , im able to take a card from an opponents hand and if they decide to remove my creature then I can cast claim and take it right back. the best thing I was able to do with this was play a Kitesail after they killed one and then Claim back the other one. basically taking all of their removal so they couldnt kill my creatures.

Being able to swing with my other creatures that have built in evasion of some type wether that be flying or menace and also being able to kill a creature and not mark them with damage works great too. That allows my Ruin Raider to go off and get me a lot of cards to draw into. I honestly feel like Ruin Raider will go up dramatically in price due to his usefulness and also he is just like Dark Confidant.

Ruin Raider + Scrapheap Scrounger allows me to attack in and not care if he dies because I can always bring him back, which also lets me get a raid trigger draw at EoT.

Please leave feedback and always if you check out my deck +1 it for me. Thanks.
