Rubinia control deck. The deck can steal a lot of creatures. Perplexing Chimera is a powerhouse when you're able to steal it back reliably, for example with a Beguiler of Wills, Rubinia Soulsinger, Mistmeadow Witch combined with Prophet of Kruphix or Seedborn Muse.

Once you've stolen their creatures you can choose to keep them forever with Conjurer's Closet or Deadeye Navigator, or keep them for later with Synod Sanctum, or perhaps make them into something better with Birthing Pod.

Most of the time a Prophet of Kruphix or Seedborn Muse don't really get in the way of Rubinia Soulsinger, since the untap effect is not optional. If I really wanted that creature I will just steal it back immediately. If I don't want my opponent getting it back at all then I usually have a way to either bounce the creature and keep it permanently or just bounce it back to the top of their deck. That, and the fact that Seedborn Muse or Prophet of Kruphix pretty much need to be answered or I win the game is the reason I left them in the list.

That being said, only about half the games does Rubinia Soulsinger actually come out to play. The deck functions well without her.

A few cards I'm thinking of adding are some more sac outlets so I have more outs with the creatures I steal. There's also a few cards in the deck that don't really need to be there, but the list works pretty good for now, but I'm always looking for suggestions.
