A built this deck because of the synergy with Vesuvan Drifter, Scheming Symmetry, and old Etali. Basically, you break the randomness of Drifter by casting Symettry, which you use to put an Etali on top of your deck. Then you attack with the Etali, getting the card your opponent searches for off of the attack trigger along with your own top card. I don't know if that synergy is all that great, but its fun and I like how you only need to play the one off old etali. I then realized that drifter also synergizes quite well with Ilharg or Djeru and Hazoret. If I am already playing big bombs, they will help me get them out for free on their own, but I can also surprise the opponent by turning the drifter into one of them or one of my bombs.

The core of the deck is Symmetry, Drifter, Reason/Believe, Several Bomb creatures like Emrakul, and Generator Servant to haste them out. The rest was a bit of a struggle to put together well. You want protection and decent removal. I would love feedback on making the rest of the deck work! I was thinking of leaning more towards a control shell to support the gameplan, or maybe leaning into a midrange strategy more. I'm just not sure, but it feels like there is definitely something here. *Glasspool Mimic is the substitute for Vesuvan Drifter for now!
