This deck is based on a pun. The goal is not necessarily to get the most efficient removal or spells but to force the opponent to make choices as their options get restricted. The goal is to create the feeling of a vice closing on the player. The deck aims to win with sphinges. A key problem I'm aware of is how messed up the curve is and how much of it is stuck on 3cmc. Not sure what to cut.
