Introduction

I figured it would be cool to share my pride and joy: Intet, the Dreamer ! I had originally built this deck back in 2013, and it was an incredibly solid list. Many things have changed since then, and I have upgraded the deck over time to fit the meta (for my playgroup). I listed it as competitive however I created this deck to be a good middle-ground between casual and competitive. Even though these colors can easily fit many degenerate combos, I didn't want to build the deck too aggressive so I stuck to more of a fun theme (sorry no Palinchron shenanigans). That being said, there is one game-ending infinite combo I threw in:

Infinite Turns
Show

Mystical Tutor + Seasons Past + Temporal Manipulation or whichever Time Walk effect goes to the bin after casting ;) Pretty straightforward.

Pros

1. This deck has a LOT of interaction. It is a control deck after all.
2. Deck manipulation. Deck manipulation is a must in an Intet deck. Not only does it allow you to set up for Intet's trigger, it also gives you some impressive card advantage.
3. This deck can easily keep degenerate decks in check, while also allowing you to set up your own win.

Cons

1. Since your main wincon is commander damage via Intet, attacking into a flurry of flyers (or even one) can seriously halt your progress. TLDR; Flyers are a huge weakness for this deck.
2. If you can't keep an edge against another control deck, you can easily be shut out of the game.
3. Aggro decks. Yeah, these are hard to deal with.

Structure

Removal Suite Show

• Blasphemous Act . Board wipe that gets better the more you need it.
• Beast Within . Self explanatory.
• Song of the Dryads . Best green removal-type spell in the game. Shuts down pesky commanders and much more.
• Karn Liberated . Always good. Especially when you cast him off Intet!
• Hull Breach . Value artifact/enchantment removal. Considering removing this for Force of Vigor .
• Cyclonic Rift .
• Krosan Grip . "I want it gone. End of conversation"
• Nature's Claim . 1 cost removal, so good.
• Volcanic Vision . This is a new one for me but so far it has a lot of value.
• Situational: Cryptic Command and Jace, the Mind Sculptor .

Counter Magic Show

• Counterspell . Classic.
• Cryptic Command . Greedy cost but this card gets you out of some tricky situations.
• Mystic Confluence . I've been on the fence about this one because of it's casting cost. It has helped me in a pinch when I had no card draw though. May come out for Counterbalance (This deck has a ton of deck manipulation for Intet's triggered ability so Counterbalance can easily become the most valuable "Counterspell" in the deck for 2 blue, just haven't tested it yet).
• Force of Negation . Free cost counters are always worth a slot in a blue deck.
• Force of Will . ^^
• Mana Drain . Fan favorite for obvious reasons.
• Negate . This will probably come out soon for Fierce Guardianship .
• Pact of Negation . Gotta keep those degenerate decks in check.
• Summary Dismissal . Your own personal stack-be-gone.

Tutors Show

• Gamble can grab anything you need without having to give away what you're planning. Just make sure to cross your fingers!
• Merchant Scroll fetches for a counterspell most of the time.
• Personal Tutor . Yay extra turns!
• Mystical Tutor . Yay extra turns!
• Solve the Equation . New tutor I'm testing. I honestly don't think there's such thing as too many tutors.
• Worldly Tutor . Preferably you'd only use this in response to Intet's triggered ability. Assures you a Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur or Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger if you want to be rude. Either one can end the game.
• Narset, Parter of Veils

Ramp Show

• Cultivate
• Farseek
• Kodama's Reach
• Chrome Mox
• Arcane Signet , Gruul Signet , Simic Signet
• Mana Crypt
• Mana Vault
• Sol Ring
• Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger . Not necessarily the best ramp but if left unchecked he's insane.

Turns! Show

The bread and butter of winning explosively with this deck.

• Capture of Jingzhou and Temporal Manipulation . Can't be redirected because they don't target. Only spell I know of that can hijack these is Narset's Reversal .
• Expropriate . Insane card.
• Time Stretch . Insane target for Mystical Tutor in response to Intet's trigger.
• Nexus of Fate .
• Lighthouse Chronologist . Honestly I love this little dude. If you don't get to use him to his full potential at the very least he eats a removal spell that could have otherwise been used on your Intet.

Card Draw & Deck Manipulation Show

• Brainstorm . Good instant speed manipulation.
• Mystic Confluence .
• Wheel of Fortune . This card works best when you use it to disrupt opponents hands, rather than use it to refill yours.
• Windfall . ^^
• Cryptic Command .
• Consecrated Sphinx .
• Rhystic Study .
• Scroll Rack
• Crystal Ball
• Sensei's Divining Top
• Mystic Remora
• Sylvan Library

Setting up for Intet

When I say setting up, I mean layering your deck with the following so that you can get the good cards off Intet's triggered ability.

• Crystal Ball
• Scroll Rack
• Sylvan Library
• Brainstorm
• Mystic Sanctuary
• Sensei's Divining Top
• Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Like I said, there's a ton of deck manipulation in this deck. Layer the top cards strategically so you can cast the splashy cards off Intet, and draw the ones you need in your hand.

Extras

I also have a few recursion-based cards mostly to grab back Time Walk effects:

• Eternal Witness
• Seasons Past . Combo Piece.
• Mystic Sanctuary . Second chance at life for extra turn spells, or any splashy spell.
• Noxious Revival . Instant speed means you can use it in response to Intet's triggered ability.

FAQ

Just a couple of things I'm asked often:

1. Yes, you CAN kick Rite of Replication when you cast it off Intet, however the kicker cost is NOT free.
2. No, you can NOT cast cards off Intet if she leaves play then re-enters later. Bummer.
3. Since you **CAST** the card from exile, you can counter the spells cast for free off Intet. They use the stack. Not sure why that one confuses people but it's the most commonly asked question... **shrug**

Conclusion

I suppose that's all I can think of at the moment. I'll be sure to update my changes at the bottom as I add and remove cards. Always open to critiques! Let me know what you think!
