After fairly thorough play-testing and a few tweaks, this deck has ticked all the right boxes for the control-lover in me, securing wins from a variety of angles. It's been a little while since I have updated it with any new cards, but the deck is played weekly and so far it has been a joy. It draws a lot of cards, has a reanimation package to sneak out combo pieces or game-state bombs, challenges opposing game-plans, and is most comfortable withstanding the long-game while being capable of tutoring or reanimating combo pieces to end the game quickly in the right situations.

Wins primarily come from:

Kiki-Jiki/Splinter Twin + Pestermite

Kiki-Jiki/Splinter Twin + Deceiver Exarch

Notion Thief + Windfall is back-breaking for our opponents, and pretty much steals the game for us.

Firestorm has been a game stealer on more than one occasion, and Kaervek has helped close several games as well, either by being allowed to do his thing uninhibited or by eating valuable removal and opening the window to combo off through other avenues.
