Hidden power: String (Modern MTG Deck)

So the idea is fairly simple. Play a bunch of unblockable creatures, enchant/cipher stuff onto them to draw more cards and play more creatures while also tapping the opponent's stuff, countering their spells and making them discard.

Hidden Strings can untap the mana used to play it the your own mana again after an attack phase to either free up mana for counter spells or summon more creatures which you might have just drawn through attacking. 6 mana for 2 can make you look great with a good hand on turn 2-3.

Once you spew out a few creatures Inkfathom Witch can help bring the game home with increased damage damage dealt by her and her unblockable friends on turn 4.

Morsel Theft and Curiosity aim to keep you from top decking while Noggin Whack and Oona's Blackguard aim to do the opposite to the opponent.

Cloak and Dagger make the equipped creature harder to kill spell without interfering with the cipher abilities of Hidden Strings or Hands of Binding

Mana Leak is a fairly standard choice as an early counter.

This deck would be cheaper again by switching out the Drowned Catacomb's for Dimir Guildgate 's or basic lands.

This deck is coming along and in play testing seems fairly consistent.

So I got the physical deck, minus the sideboard today. It's a lot of fun! With an average draw it was able to successfully defeat all the other decks it versed consistently, hitting a nice balance of aggro and control.(keep in mind that I casually play with friends, not competitively). The only trouble it had was if I drew a weak opening hand against a pure aggro deck. Over all I'm pretty happy with it though.
