Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis but instead of drawing a lot of cards you draw TOO MANY cards and it needs to STOP but it WON'T and they just keep giving you more until Oh God You Have None Left To Take BUT THERE'S STILL MORE.

One of my favourite decks to play, this chaotic, engine based cards-for-pain bargain is high risk, and hilarious reward. Against higher budget decks you will find yourself simply feeding far, FAR too much ammunition to your opponents, who will shrug at the thought of taking 8-15 damage to draw 5-9 cards per turn rotation (several during their turn and yours). To that end we'd need to refer to our sideboard to consider a more powerful approach to the game; Taking direct damage-per-card-in-hand spells over the engines that ping on upkeep (which simply put you at a higher threat since the danger is more obvious than surprise instants that can burn for 20+ damage), as well as forgoing lifegain for more stax-based cards such as Meishin, windborn muse, less card engines and more instant card-in-hand placement like prosperity in favour of, at the right stage of game, forcing enough cards in hand for lethal as opposed to biding our time, or treacherous terrain for those taking too much advantage of Kynaios and other bonus land placement effects.

By no means does this suddenly make your deck capable of fighting out of its league, it still is pure jank but it certainly makes us punchier, and less expected.

Obviously sideboards are illegal in tourny play but you weren't here for a tournament-viable deck and it's common practice to have a few cards sleeved up that swap in to decks, whether to freshen it up, add wincons or adjust to table's power.
