The goal of this deck is to furiously attack your opponent with removal spells, while in the mean-time setting up racks and afflictions. Uba's Mask presents an interesting situation, as while it prevents Ravens Crime from being utilized, its 4 mana cost and likeliness to be played in later stages deems it playable. Set up your rack, get an opponent to zero cards, and Mask on.

Your sideboard is set up to counter any artifact removal the opponent will throw in to differ your strategy. Additions to the sideboard could include more creatures, or possibly a splash of white. Uba's will typically be swapped out in your second game, allowing further flexibility.

Lands can be changed to just swamps for larger budget, as well as removing some costly spells from the sideboard. I know this deck is not extremely competitive, but as I cant afford expensive planes-walkers, I wanted to try something affordable yet unique.
