Roon of the Hidden realm control

A fun bant deck using various aspects of control to play the game until you get your blink effects rolling. Roon is expensive and slow and because of this I felt more control was needed to allow him to do his thing.

Blink Triggers

Roon of the Hidden Realm, Deadeye Navigator, Venser, the Sojourner, Brago, King Eternal, Ghostway, Sudden Disappearance, Conjurer's Closet, Minamo, School at Water's Edge(For Roon), Mistmeadow Witch, Restoration Angel, and Flickerwisp

Combos and Blink targets

Infinite combo Karmic Guide + Mirror Entity + Reveillark + ETB Benefit I want, Mirror Entity can be replaced with other sac outlets such as Ashnod's Altar

Ghostway + Wrath of God to destroy only opponents creatures, Sudden Disappearance, Supreme Verdict, or Akroma's Vengeance can be substituted.

Targets

Acidic Slime = destroy all opponents artifacts, creatures or lands

Venser, Shaper Savant = Bounce all opponents permanents

Solemn Simulacrum = draw deck and play basic lands for massive ramp

Eternal Witness = get your whole graveyard back to hand

Stoneforge Mystic = tutor for equipment I need

Farhaven Elf = mana ramp

Progenitor Mimic = Blink to change clone and make whatever token helps you most

Prime Speaker Zegana, Mulldrifter = draw advantage

Snapcaster Mage = recast instants and sorceries from your graveyard again and again

Sun Titan = bring permanents back to battlefield

Vendilion Clique = look at opponents hands and keep the threats low

Thragtusk life and tokens, value

Armada Wurm massive wurms every turn

Board Wipes

Cyclonic Rift, Akroma's Vengeance, Wrath of God, and Supreme Verdict

Tutors

Survival of the Fittest, Worldly Tutor, Mystical Tutor

Control

Cryptic Command simply one of the best control cards ever

Jace, the Mind Sculptor nuff said

Hinder, Spell Crumple, and Proteus Staff Tuck those spells that can cripple your plan, and/or opponents commanders

Grand Abolisher prevents your opponents from disrupting your plans

Maze of Ith control those aggro and/or voltron decks

Beast Within destroy that pesky permanent immediately

Key Cards

Oracle of Mul Daya card advantage and mana ramp

Sphinx's Revelation life and card advantage

Prophet of Kruphix mana advantage and creature flash equals more abuse for ETB effects

Sundial of the Infinite removes opponents creatures from the game once exiled

Bloom Tender mana ramp

Sylvan Library draw and filter through deck

Cathars' Crusade pump those creatures every time you blink a new one in

Mother of Runes protect any of your creatures at any time

Strionic Resonator copy those ETB effects
