So as soon as I saw this deck at the Pro Tour, I thought, "I want to play that deck!" To my dismay, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy   demanded a high price (around $30 apiece). As I don't like spending lots of money on standard, I decided to just cut Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  , and henceforth, u/r tutelage had been budget-ized!

But what IS u/r tutelage?

It's a gimmicky deck slightly resembling storm based around Sphinx's Tutelage. Assume the controlling role to stall with cards like Roast, Whelming Wave, gainlands (like Radiant Fountain) and Anger of the Gods, meanwhile rifling through your compilation of knowledge (deck) for the spell that will put an end to your opponent's mental health, Sphinx's Tutelage. But those spells that "rifle through your deck" also KILL your opponent, paired with the aforementioned mindrazer enchantment. They are Magmatic Chasm and Tormenting Voice! As an added bonus, they even fill up the graveyard (along with your control spells) for Treasure Cruise, which is basically turned into Ancestral Recall with "mill 6+" attached to it. And there you have it!
