A deck based on the recent "Mind Bend" article from EDHREC: https://edhrec.com/articles/mind-bend-spymaster-of-mardu/

While I enjoyed the concept presented in the article very much, I wanted to ensure the damage got through which came at the expense of lower mana value evasive creatures. The deck then utilizes multiple combat based spells to continue to drive the damage home. Tymna ensures that cards continue to flow to help further fuel the aggro plan. Breeches is supported with a few evasive pirates (and honorary pirates) in the deck. There are four cards in the deck designed to give our team multiple creature types which in turn will boost the value that Breeches provides immensely (hence our tutor package to find these pieces). The deck from the article added in a bit more removal and additional combat support pieces but I have opted to add in a bit more wrath protection and hand hate. This deck can fall apart quick if there is no board presence to support Tymna. To further reduce the odds of removal being used, cards like Pain Magnification and Larceny were slotted in to rip apart hands so our opponents can't answer our board and we can slowly pivot to a commanding lead with card advantage Tymna provides.
