v. 1.1

Composed of 13 nonland cards to tempo the board and completely wreck your opponent's library by/at turn 5.


Archive Trap is one reason with thirteen good little reasons to play this deck. Its infamous is fueled by Ghost Quarter and Path to Exile, as well as Modern's plethora of fetch lands on the opposing side. This card is the forefront of the deck's early mill power, and is easily tutored and repeated with Trapmaker's Snare.

Fraying Sanity, cleans up quick when casting multiple Traps, and turbo boosts the multiple Landfall triggers of Hedron Crab. I've also included Open the Armory, to help tutor Sanity to play by turn 4 if the need arises, setting you up for wincon, turn 5.

While the Traps can win the game on their own, the wincon card shreds at turn five:
Traumatize- which, when coupled with Sanity, mills the opponent out sometimes entirely. Note: this card's mill rounds down, so there's the potential the opponent will have 1 card left in the library regardless.

Piloting is fairly simple: Drop a Hedron Crab then begin to throw the opponent's early game off by destroying land with Ghost Quarter, countering anything that they attempt to play with Remand or Silence; removing face-eating boardthreats with Path to Exile, Darkness, and Ethereal Haze, while you keep resources in hand via Visions of Beyond.

Description coming, as playtesting proceeds..

Against my original whims, I went back to Esper, I added an additional wincon, but nixed the aggro side of this deck. It now runs broad Esper control, while waiting patiently to mill heavily at the right moment. The control feels a bit safer stable with the addition of Silence and Darkness.

4x Traumatize, seemed too many and Haunting Echoes is a great late-game crippler for long games.

Thanks to those who gave input to the deck, especially to bah-bammmm for nagging me enough to put in the fetches to fuel Hedron Crab. I was a jerk to him and he deserves my public apology. I'm stubborn and opinionated, and I need more people like you to help me improve the deck, and I'm sorry.

Look it over! Feedback is always encouraged!

(It's my birthday, show me some love!!)
