An Astral Drift based tempo/midrange deck that seeks to keep pressure on our opponent and off of ourselves. Stacking triggers allows us to Drift away an opponent's creature and/or our own Flickerwisp to keep things off the field during our opponent's turns. Drake haven provides a backup fliers plan, Giver of Runes is self-explanatory, and Unearth pulls double-duty as a cycler and reanimating any creature in the deck (except Street Wraith). Street Wraith of course lets us cycle away things after tapping out for Drift which was an issue with the pre-Wraith build. Vile Manifestation can be a big beatstick late game or a distracting threat as early as turn 2. As is the case with all my funbrews, this is an eternal WIP.
