DISCLAIMER : THIS 1V1 EDH I APPLY THE FRENCH RULES !

Taking advantage of Esper's great colors and Oloro's Life Gain , this the guide for winning in an unusual way !

The deck tries to have a low mana curve enjoying the best black drawers Dark Confidant , Dark Tutelage , Ad Nauseam , every card above 3 Converted Mana Cost must be essential such as Zur's Weirding , Damnation , of even Future Sight

Some mana rocks provides a bit of acceleration Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Progress the 3 signet , it very usefull getting a spell cast one turn earlier in those colors , while at 36 life points Jace, the Mind Sculptorcould be appreciated ...

Disrupting the threats on the way along with Detention Sphere , Vindicate ,Toxic Delugeand digging deep through himself Thirst for Knowledge , Brainstorm, the goal to achieve is to cast Doomsday !

I need to be SURE that Doomsday resolves or I LOSE !Helping me doing that, i mostly use 1 drops : Thoughtseize , Duress or even Peek to be sure that my opponent cannot counter my ONLY win condition

Once Doomsday resolves another condition must be filled :Laboratory Maniac must be between your hand, deck or graveyard; understand NOT EXILED ! If so i will need to keep a few counterspells in hand : Swan Song , Remand , Force of Will could help

Doomsday ===>It often goes in that order ! (2cards+ in hand)-Frantic Search-Laboratory Maniac -Street Wraith-Gitaxian Probe-Brainstormor even :

-Brainstorm-Laboratory Maniac-Gitaxian Probe-Street Wraith- Any drawing card !

Any suggested card must fit with the deck synergy and be under 4 CMC if not justified !Budget is not a problem I have some printed cards in this deck starting with alpha lands and most of fetches ...
