This began as a list by Derek from OffbeatHero on YouTube. It's interesting and I wanted to study it.
Note:
This is no longer the original list. But I suggest looking his up for a good look at it in action. This is now a very tinkerin' heavy build of my own and will be subject to plenty of reworks.
Very much untested and heavily adapted version of OffbeatHero's lantern control build.
The idea being controlling their draws with Thoughtpicker Witch and preventing combat with Spore Frog. With plenty of cards to return other cards from the graveyard to let you keep looping the opponent into submission. I thought Basking Rootwalla was a solid option for the Tortured Existence looping cuz it gives us a body for chumping or to sac to the Witch.
And I found a use for Page, Loose Leaf that seems pretty cool. Plenty of builds out there are using it in conjunction with Echoing Return and that actually fits really well in here. Given our desire to keep looping creatures.
There's no card draw so we rely heavily on our graveyard for continued card advantage. Hence the Campfire and Masked Vandal to help protect that valuable resource a bit.
Golgari Brownscale helps us dig and get to the pieces we need but is also a reliable discard for the Tortured Existence game plan, and some nice lifegain.
Honestly this decks play style is very new to me and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from playtesting. But we need a deck to playtest with! And this is that lol.
I'm open to thoughts and thoughtful suggestions, especially from anyone with actual experience playing these sorts of decks.
Thanks!
