Ever since realising Triad of Fates was legendary, I wanted to build something around it. White/Black ETB abuse was never something I had really seen before. This deck can struggle but it's very fun when it gets online. With even just one untap ability, Triad's ability becomes very efficient. As a rule, the deck wants to flicker its own things for value, but exile on a stick can avoid bad situations.

Mana Base

• The deck runs 10 plains minimum to enable Emeria, The Sky Ruin. It might be that we drop Emeria from the deck, but right now I like how it fits.
• Weathered Wayfarer, Wayfarer's Bauble, Pilgrim's Eye, Solemn Simulacrum and Kor Cartographer all can be used to fish up the magic 7 plains we need. Similarly Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse and the panoramas can assist with this. Don't be afraid to grab if you're in a tight spot, but in a safe position plains have priority.

Synergies

• Staff of Domination, Puppet Strings, [[Thornbite Staff], Thousand-Year Elixir and Village Bell-Ringer can all be used to untap Triad for extra value. The Bell-ringer having flash means we can play it at the end of turn when tapping triad for that unexpected card draw/ flicker
• Illusionist's Bracers // Rings of Brighthearth are amazing on Triad as it means you can throw around fate counters easily.
• Oblivion Stone is the only other card that can place fate counters. It's expensive, but worth it.
• Glaring Spotlight // Arcane Lighthouse can let us hit those pesky creatures that our opponents might think are safely protected. In a tight spot it can save our own creatures too.

Notable Cards

• Silent Arbiter, Crackdown, Creepy Doll , Aurification are all here to provide us safety. These could be replaced if we can find something better/ more preferable
• Stonecloaker, Cloudstone Curio, Dust Elemental - trying out a bounce to hand set. Dust Elemental is great as it can bounce itself too.
• Elspeth, Sun's Champion can be both a board wipe if things get too hairy, a token spawner to exile for more draw cards and an anthem if we really need them
• Entomber Exarch can be great for grabbing things back or forcing someone to empty their hand.
• Stonehorn Dignitary can lock someone out of combat long enough for the table/ yourself to find answers

Cards that are getting tested out

• Skybind, Conjurer's Closet wanting to see how relevant flicker is. In particular Skybind as I don't know the level of enchantments in the deck. Could throw in some relevent W/B Constellation creatures though
• Meadowboon // Mikaeus, the Unhallowed cause an issue. One or both could maybe be cut depending
• Custodi Squire can be flickered a few times to grab things constantly, but don't know how I feel about it
• Sunblast Angel will usually destroy Triad too if they've been used to enable the flicker, but it can be worth it. Considering cutting depending
