One of my favorite decks - fairly budget, ultra control, and ridiculously versatile in group play.

Use quick mana cost creatures such as Augury Owl, Judge's Familiar, Mindshrieker and the like to deal early damage and set your draw, then swap them for your opponents bigger creatures once they come out using Juxtapose. With a good draw you might have had a change to put Unstable Mutation on one of your creatures, so by the time you Juxtapose it to your opponent its ready to die anyways. Also set the board with Legacy's Allure, the centerpiece of the deck. This stops your opponents from enacting their ideal plan, because they know a Diminish + Legacy's Allure combo is likely waiting to take their big creatures.

Other cool combos include a 5 mana trick of using Gilded Drake and AEther Adept to outright take a creature and gain card advantage, as adept puts drake back in your hand. Thats almost as good as Bribery, which just takes the best creature out of your opponents deck. I laugh when everyone else shudders at an Ermrakul deck.

Use counterspells to eliminate any resistance. Pretty much just a pure awesome deck that ends up being a lot of fun to play.
