Here's my take on Mind Flayer, the Shadow. The deck is pretty straightforward, doing its best to play with opponents' cards as well as annoying them with all of the edict effects and other ways of clearing the board. If the Stranger Things Secret Lair isn't for you, this card will fortunately get an MtG IP reprint in Streets of New Capenna set boosters. In the mean time, you can get ideas for it here: https://youtu.be/Ep3vzt3m6ME
