The common problem with hand control is that once the opponent' has no hand cards left, all those Thoughtseizes etc become redundant. This deck has two answers to this problem:

1. trade redundance for useful stuff

2. hand control with instant speed combos

---

• Kiora's Follower: This incredibly amazing card is the key to most of this deck's engines. It triggers the inspired effects, untaps "connected" lands or simply ramps my mana base.

• Disciple of Deceit: Discard a card I don't need right now for something more useful! In my opinion this is the best inspired creature (in the right deck)

• Karametra's Favor: taps inspired creatures + card draw + mana stabilizer

• King Macar, the Gold-Cursed: sometimes slow but steadily wiping the opponents side of the field :D

• Siren of the Silent Song: instant speed discard combo with Kiora's Follower

• Underworld Connections: another great synergy with Kiora's Follower

• Brain Maggot, Thoughtseize: hand control staples

• Springleaf Drum: not quite as powerful as Karametra's Favour but without the downside of being an aura. Also the cmc 1 is important to trade with Thoughtseize via Disciple of Deceit

• Rakdos's Return: Yes, I don't play any source of red mana, so what? In most games this is the first target for Disciple enchanted with Karametra's Favor
