I am not terribly certain where this deck will end up. I know that I like the concept of Ashiok, and I like Traumatize and Mirko Vosk to combo with its -10 ability (should a game ever get to that point). I also like the lack of impact creatures in the deck, as I fully intend to use my opponent's creatures and spells against them (using Ashiok and the Specters).

I'm considering adding a Tutor or three to be able to access my combo earlier, but the Sphinx's Revs will probably do the job, along with a little life gain to offset any damage I might take while setting up the board. I have some removal and some counters and a Rift to help achieve the goal. I also have an Elixir to recycle. I added one Lantern to help with the mana curve in a three color deck, but it is probably expendable.

I like the scry mechanic with the temples and Dissolves, again to help me get into the combos more efficiently, but I realize there are more ways to make the deck efficient.

I would be grateful for any suggestions for the mainboard and help to set up a sideboard.
