This is an old deck that ive upgraded as ive came back to playing magic. Its meant to be a versitile toolbox deck that can win any second that it wants to. Its also the only deck i play, so im looking to foil it out.

The decks called "The Thing" because i have a foil proxy of the Mimeoplasm of the movie The Thing 1982 (I think it fits perfectly thematically).

The main way the deck plays is by milling itself out using Hermit Druid and playing Mimeo copying Skithiryx or Putrefax and getting loads of +1/+1 counters from random creatures in the yard. If youre stuck in a tight situation you can target Sage of Hours for 3+ extra turns or you can copy Eternal Witness to get back something like Damnation or Living Death.

Anyways, im looking for advice/ recommendations for my deck - any comments appreciated!
