Where shall I begin? I always wanted to play a control deck, but Esper and UW control really weren't my style. But now KtK brought us Sultai and I love it!

Basically this deck is a pain in the --- to play against. RW tokens? Meet my Bile Blight. Abzan midrange? Hero's Downfall and Murderous Cut . RDW? Bile Blight and Drown in Sorrow. The playset Dissolve does his wonders as well. And of course the playset Sylvan Caryatid makes our mana more consistent.

Card draw:

This deck is also capable of filtering for the win conditions. Sultai Charm lets us draw 2 cards and fuels our Murderous Cut and Dig Through Time.

Interpret the Signs gives us the ability to draw cards ranging from 0 to 8. (I actually drew 7 cards with this at the FNM)

Last but not least, we have Dig Through Time, this card is awesome. I don't even need to explain it.

Finally, we have the win conditions.

Reaper of the Wilds, if you can bring him out early enough, he can end games on his own. Even when he isn't capable to attack, you can just let him sit there and protect him with his hexproof while you're killing all your opponents creatures. I destroy your creature and I get a scry 1, me likes very much!

Sagu Mauler , this the main star of the deck. Usually the perfect creature to finish the game. It gets more fun if you can play him T5.

Pearl Lake Ancient, not that good against most decks. Mainly because he hasn't hexproof and trample. I might move him to the sideboard and play a 2nd Sagu Mauler main.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, he isn't actually my win condition. I mainly use him as a distraction for the burn spells or creatures that are still standing.

Villainous Wealth was just here to test out and it actually won me a game! Me and my opponent both had a mana flow, but I had 1 Dissolve and 2 Hero's Downfall in hand. We kept drawing lands until I drew Villainous Wealth and cast it for 10. Instant win.

I hope you all like this deck!
