A horror/control deck focused on instant/sorcery synergies to quickly transform Thing In the Ice. Opponents are prevented from setting up any defenses or using removal against TIII with instant speed counter spells that can be cast on 1-2 mana only. This means TIII can transform as early as turn 4, and between Negate, Turn Aside, and Invasive Surgery (all instant speed and 1 mana w/ other synergies), opponents will have a very hard time mounting any type of resistance.
