The name of this deck, I know weird General to have for this deck name "That Permanence Yours?", for starters was really thinking of ways to use Daring Theif was having a very, very difficult time trying to put this guy to good use. In building this deck the deck contained mostly all Instances and Sorcery's and very little amount of creatures, a lot of those Instances and Sorcery's were take control of permanence and switch cards with common card type bla bla you get it I know. Played a buddy he show me some weakness, ran though MTG Advance search and started picking cards out to protect my weak ass 2/2 creature that was a very high roll in this deck. Found cards ordered it and walla BAM mail motha F....(cough)...you know the rest. Talrand, Sky Summoner- When you see this card you think what can I do with this compromise start with Instants & Sorcery's and watch a basic deck transform into something magnificent.
Mine! Mine! Mine! ..Mine!
Bribery-Just couldn't resist the art of taking people's creatures...lol
Beguiler of Wills-Your creature looks like it belongs to me!
Hypnotic Siren-Mine! Mine! Mine! ..Mine!
Daring Thief-I'll trade you my jello pack for your Snickers bar
Steal Artifact-ohhhhh shinny
Dominate-Mine! Mine! Mine! ..Mine!
Control Magic-Mine! Mine! Mine!...Mine!
Switcheroo-Jello Pack?!?!
Shifting Loyalties-Jello Pack!
Acquire-better have something good in here!
Protection
First time around with this deck 1v1 was okay till my Gen was targeted. Did some research selected all protection cards that were at a fair price to me, Cheap skate, I know can't help it. Did a 22 card change over before posting this deck. Did a multiplayer game 4 free 4 all didn't get the protection right off the get go, didn't do so well then either. Played a 1v1 right after the multiplayer got protection on the Gen started searching his deck with
Acquire several times in fact had about 3 of opponents artifacts and took his Gen, (evil I know) had opponents
Lightning Greaves as well protecting his Gen that I took control over. I personally felt better for the change of this deck from its beginning stages was justified, after that last match and learned a few things as well. Numeral uno tho always have protection on your General for this deck if ya want the 2/2 drake helps to have some blocking material just in case ya know.
Lightning Greaves-pretty much seems all EDH decks require this card
Mask of Avacyn-EDH requirement
Swiftfoot Boots-Requirement
Alexi's Cloak-old school Flash lol
Diplomatic Immunity-Awesome enchantment hands down fell in love with this card...shhh dont tell no one.
Spectral Cloak-good if you aint tapping your protected creature.
Protection on your Gen in this deck is 100% must need, never under estimate your opponent and deck.
Graveyard Shuffle
When burning through your deck or a chance to get a good spell back, your gonna occasionally want your graveyard shuffled back into your library. Few cards I personally thought were decent.
Temporal Cascade-graveyard shuffle was all I wanted 7 card draw is a plus(optional)
Learn from the Past-graveyard shuffle
Psychic Spiral-you get the idea tho milling opponent is always fun!
Elixir of Immortality-everybody loves Lix of Immortality lol almost seems required lol
Cranial Archive-just another plus to the graveyard shuffle
Never let your graveyard haunt your plays.(lol)
Spell Perks
The thing about perk spells is they not absolute need, they're just awesome spells that can help the change of a game. Here are some good spells I personally liked for this deck.
Reality Strobe-idealistically a spell that casts it self every third round, very resourceful
Rite of Replication-even if its just 2/2 drakes
Echo Mage-double cast your shit up!
Uyo, Silent Prophet-the cost might work in your favor
Mirari-gotta keep the double cast rollin
Some other odds and ends to, thing about magic I love the most is your never done changing a deck up.
