Control/Discard/Cycling

control while cycling/looting cards for the right answers

This deck tries to constantly Show

• draw cards (Ruin Raider, Jace, Cunning Castaway +1 ability, Champion of Wits, Chart A Course)
• make discard profitable (Ruthless Sniper, Drake Haven)
• fill the graveyard (to flip Search for Azcanta, to pump Vile Manifestation)

The idea is further Show

• to avoid expensive spells (in order to not accidentally lose to Ruin Raider trigger) while still have a solid win condition in the late game (Jace, Cunning Castaway ultimate, Drake Haven, huge Vile Manifestation)
• to blank their artifact hate (may side in the Gate of the Afterlife package in Game 2 if they possibly boarded it out)

Do you think this could be viable or is this basically durdling around and then loses?

Any comments or help would be appreciated!
