Build your defenses, generate huge amounts of mana then burn your opponents to death. This deck combines Arcanes and Defenders to create unexpected combos, including an instant win!

On the battlefield you'll need Axebane Guardian, Thermo-Alchemist and four more defenders. In your hand you'll need Petals of Insight and Psychic Puppetry.

1. Tap Thermo-Alchemist to deal 1 damage to each opponent.
2. Tap Axebane Guardian for six blue mana and Cast Petals of Insight, splicing Psychic Puppetry onto it.
3. Put the cards revealed with Petals on the bottom of your library, returning it to your hand. Untap Axebane Guardian with the spliced Puppetry.
4. Thermo-Alchemist untaps due to casting a sorcery.
5. Repeat.

Alternatively, if you manage to get 7 creatures with defender out, you can generate infinite mana with Petals of Insight + Psychic Puppetry, then cast Rolling Thunder for the kill.
