This is a Grixis control deck with a treasure-ramp support plan. Playing much like any other control deck, our early game will be trying to answer whatever they play. If they have a vulnerable board or are tapped out, we will want to play Captain Lannery Storm. Even if she can trade with a blocker, she still allows access to our 5 drops on turn 4 - mainly Spell Swindle.

A successful Spell Swindle will turn the game on its head. Follow up with a Spell Swindle + Torrential Gearhulk for even more treasure, or you may have enough to Torment of Hailfire for scoop phase.

A fun deck that goes toe-to-toe with the top of the meta right now, and has multiple ways to win.
