This is my grindier build of Steel Scales, featuring Hardened Scales, four sources of hand disruption in the main, two copies of Evolutionary Leap to keep your hand full in the face of removal, and spicy sideboard tech in the form of extripate , when you really don't want them to have certain key cards. The two Scrapheap Scroungers also make a nice recursive threat from the yard. This deck synergizes very much with counters, but struggles with combo, hence the splash for black.
