Why bring my own when I can just take yours?

Copies, Control, Card-advantage and Creature theft.

The main combo is the unblocked cipher with Willbreaker + Greaves out.

Tons of card advantage + low mana curve allow for fast deployment of main strategy, and a little control / disruption carrying to midrange.

A few finishers but this deck relies on the opponent's resources. Built to handle creature decks but a hefty sideboard for spell-heavy decks.

Would be Modern but I like Counterspell and Brainstorm lol
