This deck has a big focus on drawing tons of cards, forcing your opponent to send their library to the graveyard, and cycling through your own graveyard.

Get Jace's Erasure out early and stall with disabling and countering cards, and then use Coerced Confession, Jace's Archivist, and Psychic Spiral to demolish your opponent's library. Nyx-Fleece Ram and Swift Justice keep your life up if you need more time to set up a combo, and if it takes that long, you'll have enough mana to get Guardian of the Ages or Thopter Assembly out.

If the combo gets wrecked, you can use Auramancer, Archaeomancer, and Coerced Confession to get back the cards you need, and then any of the card-drawing ones can get them back into your hand for another go-around.

The deck is meant to get good deck-draining combos out early, protect you if you need more time to do it, and help you recover quickly if it gets messed up.

(I have Mystic Monastery and Seaside Citadel instead of some pure blue/white lands because those are all I've got.)
