This deck is all about changing targets for the opponent's spells, stealing their stuff and just generally wrecking havoc. Though it does work in 1on1 it is, like sex, more fun the more people are involved.

The Divert, Misdirection and Redirect are pretty self-explanatory. I find this way of playing blue control more amusing than just to counter. Its always fun to make the opponents slap themselves.

Which brings me to the star of the show; The Daring Thief. This guy works wonders with a Pemmin's Aura or Springleaf Drum + Triton Tactics , and with a Springjack Pasture or a Nuisance Engine in play i can trade their creatures for 1/1's. If i'm lucky enough to get a Liquimetal Coating in play as well, everything is up for grabs. Nice planeswalker.. Trade for a 1/1 pest?

The Helm of Possession and Control Magic are self-explanatory as well. Grab all the shit you can, run and never look back!

Of course this deck is a little fragile, depending so much on the artifacts, but with the 2x Fabricate, it works out more often than not.

Feedback welcome :)
