New player here - This is the first deck I brewed up!

The Deck is based on "Chasm Skulker" and "Nadir Kraken" by getting big creatures and lots of 1/1 tokens through card draw. The goal was to not spend more than 1 Mana per card drawn, in order to overwhelm our opponent quickly. "Monastery Siege" allows us to either ramp our Card Draw more quickly or make it harder for the enemy to counter us, depending on the situation or the match up. "Slip through Space" is great value and makes sure our damage gets to the opponents life total. "Archetype of Finality" gives the Tokens some additional threat, though "Tetsuko Omezawa, Fugitive" could be another option, although less defensive. "Zulaport Cutthroat" makes mass removal less appealing.

So far, through limited playtesting, it seems the deck has little trouble getting the cards it needs through all the additional draw and the opponent should have a decently hard time keeping the escalation of power in check.

I would be grateful if you guys could help me by pointing out and fixing some weaknesses (maybe lack of control?) and maybe some ideas for other cards that could fit this deck. General advice is always welcome as well!

Thanks a bunch!
