Deck Tech

The main goal of this deck is to play the cards of your enemy.

It doesn't need much of a tactic itself, we will take over whatever our enemy dumps on the board.

Cards like "Dire Fleet Daredevil" allow us to play their instants and sorceries, also a 2/1 firststriker stops early aggression if need be.

Main players are "Etali, Primal Storm" and of course "Nicol Bolas, God Pharao". With these cards you can play cards from the enemies' main deck. You can also take control of their cards with "Entrancing Melody".

The "Mirage mirror" is an all time fun card, never forget to include it, it has sooo many possibilities. :-)

Optinally you might want to include a "Hostage Taker" or two. 

The other cards are filler and mostly removal against the nasty aggro decks.

Creatures

• 4x Kitesail Freebooter for hand disruption. It's much better than duress in my opinion.
• 2x Champion of the Wits so you can draw/discard anything you dont need against the current matchup, also great value when Eternalized
• 4x Seeker's Squire to get the land drops you need
• 2x Captain Lannery Storm to ramp you from 3 onwards. Just makes a Treasure and probably trades against something meaningful.
• 2x Direfleet Daredevil to play your enemies instants from the graveyard. Do not play him on Turn 2 unless you are under severe pressure. Things you will cast often with him are Opt, Magma Spray, Lightning Strike, etc. He can totally turn games around. He also exiles the spells (important against decks like Izzet)
• 1x Etali, Primal Storm to get your enemies spells and your own. Even better if you scry before attacking.

Misc

• 1x Sunbirds Invocation: This card is sooo much fun. Things that happen are totally random, which makes it even more fun. Just be carefull to NOT play a triggered creature spell, if you got it free from "Hour of Devastation", or you are going to blow it up.
• 1x Mirage Mirror: Hands down an epic card. You can copy the Scarab Gods, Glorybringers, 12/12 Tramplers and Enchantments your enemies are playing. It is glorious.
• 2x Hornswoggle: Counter creature spells and get a Treasure for it. I like.
• 2x Chart a Course: Card draw. Your 2-drops should reliably be able to hit those.

Removal

• 3x Magma Sprays against early aggresion (use vs Kendra Earthshaker, Champion of the wits and anything with Eternalize)
• 2x Vraska's Contempt
• 2x Abrade against creatures and/or GPG
• 2x Puncuring blow against Scarab Gods, Phoenix and Crested Sunmare
• 2x Hour of Devastation against merfolk, vampires and token decks
