CONTROL YOUR ENEMIES BOARD/HAND AND USE THEIR OWN CARDS AGAINST THEM!

Agent of the Fates - The basis of this deck, Fairly self explanatory. Great when paired with Hidden Strings

Artisan of Forms - Huge utility card in this deck. Essentially allows me to copy a valuable creature card that I or my opponent controls, allowing me to push a strength that is working for me, Especially copying the newly added Desecration Demon

Hidden Strings - Combos VERY well with anything that has a Heroic Trigger in this deck.

Mizzium Skin - Allows me to protect one creature or all of my creatures from my opponents spells. Also causes Heroics to trigger. Causing them to pay dearly for trying to kill something of mine.

Nightveil Specter - One of my favorite cards of late. Allows me to exile a card off their library and play it as well.

Triton Tactics - Gives 2 creatures a defensive boost to help against burn decks, also causes heroic triggers to punish them for trying to kill my things. But also helps me untap Desecration Demon for a surprise block or attack. Especially if they just sacrificed to tap him and make him bigger :)

Desecration Demon - Gives me the heavy hitter this deck was lacking while still being CMC friendly.

Tormented Hero - A turn 1 creature that works well with the Heroic theme, also swinging for 2 on turn 2 in this deck is a pretty big deal.

Thoughtseize - Can't go wrong with this card!

Boon of Erebos - Regeneration! Great offensively as well.

Hero's Downfall - Great removal.

Pain Seer - Great 2 drop and card draw.

Edit

If you look closely at my deck most of my support cards and others will fall off with the ravnica block. I'd really like to replace blue with a different color. So suggestions are welcome! Unless you can convince me to go mono black. But I'd like to play around with some ideas. Let me know what you think!
