basically, control and mill. i will explain each cards importance and combos i frequently use.
Jace's Erasure: use with
Jace's Archivist
, Jace, Memory Adept, Blue Sun's Zenith, and even Ponder. it stacks, so the archivists effect is that much more deadly for each one out.
Jace, Memory Adept: duh
Spirit Mantle/Swiftfoot Boots: i use spirit mantle to help protect my creatures and jace. being immune to creatures, they can block all day and not die. i swap in swiftfoot boots against heavy burn decks.
Pacifism: controlling creatures
Trepanation Blade: it was a tough choice between this and Sword of Body and Mind. i'm still trying to decide, as the wolves generated from BM provide blockers for jace, but trepanation blade provides +x/+0 and mills even when it does not do direct combat damage.
Mana Leak: more control.
Invisible Stalker: Trepanation Blades holder.
Jace's Archivist
: using his ability in combination with multiple Jace's Erasure is hilarious.
Blue Sun's Zenith: mainly for draw power/ making them mill when erasures are out.
Undead Alchemist: he almost didn't make the cut, but there is so much discard with him, and when the zombie tokens aren't chump bocking for jace or myself, they are helping mill.
Oblivion Ring: control
Elixir of Immortality: for those moments when
Jace's Archivist
discards a very useful card. also provides life gain.
Day of Judgment: only to be used in extreme cases, or if you have creatures ready to play down.
Ponder: early game draw
SIDEBOARD so far:
Swiftfoot Boots: swap in place of spirit mantle when facing heavy burn decks.
Surgical Extraction: swap in place of Day of Judgment and one Elixir of Immortality when facing other control decks.
Mental Misstep: for countering mills top enemy.. Elixir of Immortality.
