This is based on the Arcane Adaptation + Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign combo deck* combined with a Gate to the Afterlife into God-Pharaoh's Gift deck. Those combos are the card advantage engines that setup the win. The win condition (other than just attacking) is Marionette Master combined with a sac outlet like Yahenni, Undying Partisan or Defiant Salvager. When Marionette Master is resurrected by God-Pharaoh's Gift it can be a 7/9, so it probably only needs two or three servos/treasures to die to trigger lethal damage. If we can get God-Pharaoh's Gift into play at all that alone is enough to win lots of games, even without the Sphinx combo or Marionette Master out. It's quite the contraption to assemble it all, with too many moving parts to expect it all to work every game. But it does all work together sometimes, and its so awesome when it does. When it does go off all the way, its a careful balance to not deck yourself before winning, because Unesh's mini Fact or Fictions aren't optional triggers.

Very budget suggestions only please :)
