---

The main goal of this deck is to lock our opponents out of the game with stax pieces like Stasis while we assemble an untap engine, consisting of pieces like Unbender Tine and Minamo, School at Water's Edge.

Our go-to untap combo will, of course, be Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter . Ideally we can get these two pieces out with at least 3 mana's worth of mana rocks and Azor's Gateway  . This will allow us to sculpt our hand to get one of our win conditions and have counter backup, before flipping the Gateway into Sanctum of the Sun for extra mana to cast the kill spell.
