Deck Type: Aggro-Control

Playstyle: Tempo

Gameplan: Fish Deck -- Plays many interchangeable/synergistic threats that work together to further the clock or disrupt opponents, and a small number of noncreature spells

Key Synergy: Lose life, remove counters.

AVG. CMC: 1.06 (Expected life loss per turn with Dark Confidant)

---

Hex Parasite removes Age Counters from Sheltering Ancient or suicides life along with Spellskite for Death's Shadow.

Gideon acts as a Worship backup plan.

Eldrazi Displacer is also a backup plan to blink creatures if we have to give something too many counters.

Eldrazi Displacer and Spellskite act as protective defense for our threats.
