This deck was initially based on the but many of the cards were upgraded to be more competitive.

Strategy:

Get your opponent's hands down really low and cast Noetic Scales so they can no longer keep creatures on the battlefield.

How it Wins:

You can flip Bolas and remove things or draw cards until you can do his ultimate to exile all but one card from an opponent's deck.
