Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign is an interesting card that lets you cheat out things (or draw but who wants that) every time you swing with her. This deck is mostly built around getting cards we can cheat out to the top. Whether that needs to have an odd CMC for Yennet or just to be a non-land permanent for cascade. This deck needs to have a good amount of removal and recursion as you're gonna have to swing to trigger some effects. This deck could also (probably) use some more cards that flicker to trigger some of its nice ETB effects.

This deck tries to do the following:

• Cheat out big creatures (mostly sphinx's).
• Protect those creatures. --Needs work
• Cast big instants and sorceries to do crazy things all for free.
• Manipulate your library to get what you want to the top.
• Swing a lot (mostly to trigger certain effects).

Current Wincons: --Needs Work

• Commander Damage (?)
• Magister Sphinx
• Medomai the Ageless
• Blatant Thievery (?)
• In Garruk's Wake
• Time Wipe
• Sepulchral Primordial

Possible Wincons:

• Rise of the Dark Realms
• Bribery
• Mass Polymorph

I'm pretty happy with the manabase currently, but if you have suggestions I'd love to hear them!

I have Yennett, Cheater of Cards as the budget-ish version of this deck but I'm working on getting the non-budget version fleshed out first.
