My spin on the tribal wizards C17 deck, sponsored by my own money and poor taste.

If you never saw Revenge of the Nerds from the 80s, they're a good, fun set of films.

Shucks, hey Hollywood people, I need money for these quality puns!

So to attempt an actual write up. It's a pretty regular set of Inalla shenanigans where I endeavor to durdle, politick a bit, and survive in the corner hanging out until I get ready to have an explosive turn. The usual instant/sorcery recursion methods are present, I've got a few tutors, a handful of counterspells, and some useful ETB effects to abuse. Mastermind's acquisition is a real MVP, as it lets me pop things over as I want them.

Win Routes:

1. Annoying bounce via Galecaster, Barry's Expertise, and Aether Adept through annoying timing in tandem with any of the following: Inalla's suck 7 tap dance, Some combat damage with Vela, or just being bothersome

2. Infinite turns loop that requires last I counted, a minimum of 5 cards and 13 or so mana at peak efficiency. That primetime performance consists of Omnispell Adept, a tutor for an extra turn card, Archaemancer + Barry's Expertise/Snap to recur the tutor, and some means to draw or counter interference. I admit it's fragile and could be better, but I like the Rube Goldberg method. With #2, we can run Impact tremors and Inalla 7 suck sheniagans to wear it on down, or draw ourselves out for the tried and true LabMan method.

3. Dumb luck?
