Monastery Mentor + a lot of cheap enablers for all the value in the world.

Monastery Mentor turn 3 + Mutagenic Growth in our hand lets us protect the Mentor from Lightning Bolt or if he gets Abrupt Decayed, we at least generate a token out of him.
I think this card is very strong, since it creates tons of pressure.

To synergyze with all the lowcost cards we are dumping into our graveyard, we are running Tasigur, the Golden Fang and 1 Tombstalker to play overcosted beaters as undercosted beaters ;P

Overall this is a control deck, but with some tempo involved.
Initially i wanted to run Delver of Secrets   but this is just not his type of deck.
