Tech/Synergy

Creatures

---

• Hedron Crab: The most consistent form of mill that works especially well with fetch lands.

• Ruin Crab: See above.

Instants

---

• Fatal Push: Black removal that works especially well with our fetch land package we run for maximum crab efficiency.

• Archive Trap: Hitting two of these can easily win you the game, and with the amount of decks that run fetches it is easy to sneak a quick game 1.

• Crypt Incursion: This card is your ''Oh Shit'' button. It allows you to stay in match-ups that you ultimately would die to quickly by using there own deck design against them.

• Drown in the Loch: Counterspell/Removal that works with our mill synergy.

• Surgical Extraction: With knowledge of how most meta decks work you can easily win games with this card before your opponent has time to utilize there overall win condition. Also a must for decks that run Emrakul, the Aeons Torn as you can exile her while she is on the stack.

• Visions of Beyond: Hello Ancestral Recall. Once you resolve one its not uncommon to start chaining into these suckers.

Sorcery

---

• Fractured Sanity: New tech that provides adequate mill when cycled, and wins games when cast.

• Maddening Cacophony: Replaces Glimpse the Unthinkable only due to 'Each' instead of 'Target' allowing it to get around Leyline of Sanctity.

• Tasha's Hideous Laughter: Card is a complete house. Most modern decks average converted mana cost between 1-3 mana making this card hit for well above its casting cost.

Artifact

---

• Ensnaring Bridge: This deck uses Ensnaring Bridge not to lock the opponent out like most other bridge decks, but more to survive longer while we attempt to win through our Mill win condition.

• Mesmeric Orb: Pretty fun and interesting card that can put your opponent in an awkward situation of casting spells and attacking with creatures.

Lands

---

• Field of Ruin: This search is not a may ability for the opponent. This combos with Archive Trap to force a search and allow us to cast it for its alternative casting cost.

• Oboro, Palace in the Clouds: Cute tech for the crabs. Can guarantee a land drop by using itself to activate the ability and then playing it again for turn.

• Shelldock Isle: Dark horse land of the deck. Won a handful of games with a timely Archive Trap or Crypt Incursion tucked under one of these bad boys.
