I used to think this was a meme but with some playtesting and tuning I now think this actually is a semi-viable archetype with complex decision trees and a flexible game plan.

The plan against most decks is to mess with your opponent's permanents, draw cards and beat face. The deck has Exclusion Mage heavy draws that keeps your opponents permanents in hand while beating face and midrange-y draws that exile their key pieces while you sit behind a wall of blockers and draw cards. Surprisingly, these two plans don't feel like they are in conflict but actually synergize. The plan against mono read is just to trigger Elite Guardmage a bunch of times.

Naban, Dean of Iteration doubles up all of our creature etbs including Mentor of the Meek if the creature is also a wizard. The deck can function without him but when he sticks the walue gets out of hand fast.
