Based on Inverter of Truth + Laboratory Maniac

The minute I saw Inverter I thought "how on earth is this good? and mythic?!" then some random voice in my head spoke up and said "Lab Maniac" Well..maybe not immediately was more like "That lab dude!..umm?". After some googling and browsing forums, then listing every delve/dredge/cantrip I could find, I sorted it out to this. Now it might not go top 8 or anything but it certainly looks fun.

How to Invert your Deck for Dummies:

T1-2: Hope to get a Duel and/or a Temple out. Seize/Probe the opponent, play a relic, save for counters...

T3: You can play your creatures... Doesn't necessarily means you should. Still if you do decide to play the maniac, you better have a Inverter in your hand...just in case. If not use your spells as you can.

T4: Assuming if you've cast a relic you've been using it diligently to remove and spells you've cast, and assuming they've somehow nixed Lab boy, Lay down your Inverter, exile the library, and hopefully your Graveyard consists only of Lab Man then your opponent is on a 1-2 turn clock depending on your hand.

Plays can go different ways depending on what/how you play but whether you manage it a turn early or late that is the general goal.

As always, thanks for your interest and suggestions, and leave a +1 if you like. Also, if its good enough for a folder, it's good enough for a vote. Happy Tapping!

A few new sets have come out since this decks inception so I figured I'd unleash it on the T/O world again.

Can we make this any better while still keeping it around the same cost, or less for that matter? Me being primarily a commander player, and not having much time between work/life, I am looking forward to hearing your suggestions. TIA.
