First draft of first deck. Focused on denying board, drawing cards and putting out combos.

There are a few win-cons with this: Pumping an extreme amount of mana (Peregrin drake, Deadeye Navigator combo) into the X-spells, Storm things to pieces with Guttersnipe, Electrostatic Field or Ral, or flooding the board with tokens, ideally with Purphoros on the table. Alternate win-con is Lab Maniac into Demonic Consultation (I like the idea of saying Alexander Clamilton for this) and then some form of carddraw (there is plenty to choose from

This is build to work against a creature-heavy meta and has seen some success.

Keep your head down, counter what is crucial to counter and sacrifice your tokens if need be. Your goal is to go through your deck as fast as possible to set up your end-game and stop people from hurting you too much.
