This is basically just a janky theme deck that I hope will work someday as WotC keeps printing cards. The theme is based around hands featured prominently in the artwork. Right now it doesn't do much except for being mainly control focused. I've got a backlog of cards to sift through for synergies. Mana includes a lot of cards that enter tapped right now so I'm unsure if it's better to swap them for other cards or include Amulet of Vigor for which I only have like one tutor.

There are some cute interactions between Sydri and artifacts that deal Damage to animate them and give them deathtouch. Another possible strong interaction is Mirror of Fate and Paradigm Shift. Right now there just aren't enough targets for that package.

I would like to hear card suggestions or pointers to synergies I did miss. Only requirement is to have hands featured in the card without any faces. That's why there's Sanguine Bond but no Exquisite Blood.

After making lot's of effective decks that are very consistent this deck isn't meant to be that. It's supposed to be janky. Right now I don't see it being fun though but I still don't want to scrap the idea so I came here to ask for advice.
