Midrange/control deck that abuses Traverse the Ulvenwald. Attempting to play 63 cards instead of 60 by playing one additional land and more multiples to decrease (slightly, but it is an old tech) the probability of drawing 1 ofs so that I can tutor for the relevant ones late game.

Can convert into a Brood Monitor + Eldrazi Displacer + Zulaport Cutthroat combo deck against grindy decks with minimal interaction with the combo such as bant company. Also can side in Ever After + Sidisi, Undead Vizier for the ultimate grind.

Note that when we side into the combo version of the deck, as drawing the one ofs is fine here, we go back down to 60 cards
