It plays mainly like a mid-range deck with focus on discard and efficient creatures, as well as restrictionless creature removal. It's mainly built around the interaction of Nightsky Mimic and literally every other spell in the deck; Edge of the Divinity makes it a 3 turn clock (assuming you have follow up plays).

I like the discard because it feels like the closest thing I can get to a control element without access to counterspells. Castigate and Tidehollow Sculler can handle any card that could potentially hinder your progress. I imagine that Sin Collector will almost always bait out a counter. Gerrard's Verdict could potentially force your opponent to discard sub-optimally, or else you gain a little life which is never a bad thing.

I realize the manabase is kinda shaky, but I'm working with what I can get on a budget.
