Midrange morph manifest deck.

Basic line to win:Get out early manadorks Elvish Mystic + Rattleclaw Mystic to get out a Trail of Mystery into play. From there attemt to get as early as possible a Whisperwood Elemental out and be "warned", one game I shuffleded my deck 12 times so the sleaves will get a tearing. The end of turn search for a land with the manifest trigger and keep flooding the board.

If you kept a 1-2 land starthand (due to the 20 land deck) use things like Wildcall to fetch for more lands and keep as much gas in your hand as possible.

From there just keep manifesting and morphing to make your opponents guess whats value and not. Boost with Ghostfire Blade to keep them as fair blockers and attackers. Also keeps them of Lightning Strike range.

Controll the air with Icefeather Aven and bounce the slow threats or keep your own board alive from targetspells with Stubborn Denial + Temur Sabertooth .

Use Temur Charger as both bait and as a finisher if not Sagu Mauler is on the case. It also makes for great supriseblockers if menifested.

Only one Hooded Hydra in the mainboard in case of early aggro drops to keep tokens and other small creatures in check. Dont be afraid to cast it face up in this case and put two more in from the sideboard if needed.

One Kiora, the Crashing Wave for unsuspected threats or more ramp.

From my experiences with this deck have been more then fair. It fairs up well against most matchups even though Mantis Rider can be rather hard to deal with.The indirect carddraw from Trail of Mystery + Whisperwood Elemental makes you not only draw but keep land drops comeing but have <50% chance to get a creature to play. It can save you from boardwhips and targeted removal if you have a Temur Sabertooth in play.

An intresting note is that Ugin, the Spirit Dragon can't exlie the manifested/morphed creatures because they are colourless.

The sideboard is to answer most of the decks and they are pretty selfexplainatory.The only thing is the one Mastery of the Unseen but its rather easy to get that single Plains with a Trail of Mystery out at some point.

Synergy:

Trail of Mystery + Morph/Manifest.

Temur Sabertooth + Manifest.

Temple of Mystery + Manifest.

Sagu Mauler + Trail of Mystery .

Secret Plans + Temur Charger .

Ghostfire Blade + Stubborn Denial .

And so on....
