May the odds be ever in your favor!

Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign lets you reveal the top card of your library when it attacks, then put it into your hand or even cast it for free if its CMC is odd.

So the not-so-original idea behind the deck is to maximize the value of Yennett's ability by including a ton of high cost cards with odd CMCs.

I tried to keep the cards in the deck budget-friendly, but didn't quite keep the total as low as I would have liked. That is mostly due to adding things like Mystical Tutor for support. It is especially good in this deck because you can attack with Yennet, then while its trigger is on the stack, tutor up something like Plague Wind and cast it for free. I already own a decent amount of the pricier cards, too.

So most of the high CMC cards in the deck are low-priced, and there are definitely cheap alternatives out there for the ones that aren't. Some of those cards involve stealing permanents from opponents boards or graveyards, such as Blatant Thievery and Boneyard Parley. Hence, the title of this deck.

I actually took out Lay Claim, however, when I realized how good Metallurgic Summonings would be in this deck. There are several 7-CMC instants and sorceries and a few 9-CMC ones. Those make for some big construct tokens.

Most of the creatures, on the other hand, have good ETB effects, so there are several ways to flicker them for extra value. And since this deck can flicker things, it also includes Ixidron so you can flip everyone's creatures, then flip yours back over.

In order not to be completely stuck if you can't attack with Yennett, I included Jalira, Master Polymorphist, Proteus Staff, and a bunch of recursion. Also, it is probably worth highlighting how amazing Smothering Tithe is for a deck like this: it has a ton of big impactful spells to cast with that extra mana. It is especially good with Windfall and Jace's Archivist, which make everyone wheel and give you a hoard of treasures.

Possibly my favorite card in the deck is Psychic Battle. Every time a player would choose a target, each player reveals the top card of his/her library, then the player with the highest CMC card gets to choose the targets. You should usually win, effectively giving you a Deflection effect for the rest of the game, especially if you have something like Penance in play to allow you to put a high CMC card on the top of your deck whenever you need one.

In the end, the deck ends up being a cheating-high-CMC cards tribal deck, with Yennett as the primary means of doing that, but recursion playing a significant role, too, and flickering enabling you to reuse good ETB triggers.

Suggestions welcome!
