Mill it with fire! Wait...

Game Plan

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Play Sphinx's Tutelage , use creature removal as needed, draw cards. For bonus points, play Alhammarret's Archive and curve into Dragonlord's Prerogative to draw 8 cards, which will fuel your Treasure Cruise for 6 cards after you have to discard.

Backup Plan

If for some reason we can't combo off with Sphinx's Tutelage , our next option is beat down with dragons or burn out. This deck provides both Thunderbreak Regent and Icefall Regent on the beatdown, as well as useful spells to remove pesky blockers, such as Draconic Roar .

Super Secret Sideboard Tech

The Pro Tour indicates that red aggro is currently very strong, and the sideboard is tuned to beat that. Negate, Fiery Impulse , Encase in Ice , and Seismic Rupture are removal or pseudo-removal to beat burn spells and/or a swarm of small creatures. As a bonus, Seismic Rupture doesn't down our dragons. Talent of the Telepath provides additional mill, and can also steal some of the red deck's burn spells. Disperse and Tormod's Crypt can shut down the Rally the Ancestors combo, with the additional ability to empty a graveyard and disable delve and a slew of other abilities such as Haven of the Spirit Dragon.

Deck Credit

This brew is strongly based off of Andrew Cuneo's deck at Pro Tour Magic Origins.

Other Notes

This is a budget deck. As much as I would love to be running Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  , I can't afford him.
