This deck aims to use sagas to control the board and gain incremental advantage. The primary interaction is between Release to the wind and any of the Sagas. Because of how Sagas resolve, you can put the final saga ability on the stack, and then cast release to the wind. This lets you recast your saga for free for more value.

However, it really gets fun when we add in The Mirari Conjecture. This lets us return the release to the wind along with any other sorcery in the yard every turn. The most mana efficient play is pulling back one of the expertises, as that lets you cast the Release to the wind for free. In other words, spend 4 mana to give the board -3/-3 until end of turn, every turn, without using any cards. This inherit card advantage lets you (slowly) grind out the win.
