Loosely based off my favorite ever Standard deck, MBS-INN Solar Flare, combined with Pauper Esper Ephemerate. See your entire deck while defensively interacting, set up a powerful card advantage loop, and finally deploy a haymaker to close the game out. Some cheeky interactions with Ephemerate and evoke creatures, or Dread Return and a fatty, can have a surprising early board presence for a control deck, but most likely trying to grind the game out. Campfire is a surprisingly important piece, keeping you alive both through incremental damage and preventing decking.

Could see some tinkering needed yet, especially with the amount of "air" in the deck. I love Forbidden Alchemy and Think Twice, but the card draw may be a bit redundant and shifting some numbers might make room for more interaction. As with any control deck, will only get better with tuning against the decks it plays against the most.
