This deck is perhaps one of the more creative ones I've done in a while. It's not janky and it doesn't create any crazy combos, but it's so far effecient and fun.

The core concept behind the deck lies in Mystical Teachings and Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir. Once he's out on the field my opponent often has a hard time ridding him since everything becomes incredibly one sided. Removal gets countered left and right, and then I can use further Mystical Teachings to bring out bombs or utility as needed.

Currently I run no discard mainboard because I have yet to find a need to, it's usually only brought in against combo and even without the discard I've found I can grind out wins.

Sudden Death is a 4 of because it shuts down the Twin Combo. You can't counter it and you can't activate abilities due to Split Second. It's perfect despite being a little slow for the format.

As always I look for advice from the community and appreciate all constructive feedback.
