The main objective is to make everyone draw as much cards as possible until you are able to kill them off with Master the Way, catch them with a Cerebral Vortex, or activate your Runeflare Trap. The Ebony Owl Netsuke deals almost constant damage once you have cards out that make them draw every turn. An optimal starting hand consists of at least 2U mana sources, a permanent to make everyone draw an extra card, and an Owl. Everything else is usually a bonus but more lands is preferred.

The two issues I have come across in this deck so far is that against aggro decks, it is practically defenseless (which is understandable) and it is just a tad slow since some of my cards require a decent amount of mana just to set everything up (switching up my manabase should hopefully alleviate that issue to an extent). I would love any suggestions that speed up my mana production without compromising the purpose of the deck. I can live with weak vs aggro but I will appreciate any suggestions that help the deck. I am not looking to make a "broken" deck, but I will consider all suggestions. I just want to keep this deck fun without irritating my friends with guaranteed/stupid wins.

I am considering on making this deck into an actual competitive modern deck. Any suggestions on how to do that and or about what to expect in modern games (like cards people would use against this deck/ways to easily shut me down) would be appreciated. It will help me decide on if this is a change I would really want to do.

Sideboard are cards I have recently swapped out but might be included in the deck in the future. Maybeboard is for cards I am considering on buying.

Inspired from OWL! that hurts! and UR Goggles
