Strategy for this deck revolves around making everyone (especially your opponents) draw extra cards, and causing them to take damage from Underworld Dreams, Fate Unraveler, Orcish Bowmasters, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, or Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted when Teferi's Puzzle Box forces everyone to drop their hands and redraw each turn.

Example: An opponent has a full hand of 7 cards and you have 1x Underworld Dreams on the field; they'll take 7 damage when Teferi's Puzzle Box makes them reshuffle (on start of turn 4 ideally). If you got a Orcish Bowmasters earlier (on turn 2) you'll have another 7 damage to throw anywhere, on top of getting a 7/7 Orc Army.

Perfect setup looks like this: Turn 2 Orcish Bowmasters -> Turn 3 Underworld Dreams -> Turn 4 Teferi's Puzzle Box

You'll effectively always play Baleful Mastery for it's {1}{B} cost since making your opponents draw is an upside in this deck!

It's worth it to aggressively mulligan in this deck in order to find a Teferi's Puzzle Box and/or Orcish Bowmasters, especially with an early howling mine to make up for the smaller hands, and once you drop Teferi's Puzzle Box you'll be cycling your hands every turn anyway.

Very open to suggestions! I'm not used to building actually strong decks like this one! XD
