Grixis Mid-range deck with a mill kill through repeat Archive Trap .

Goal is to quickly Archive Trap 2+ times, enabling Extirpate to neuter their gameplan and Visions of Beyond to restock your hand. Four Archive Traps found through tutoring or recurring with Mission Briefing should exhaust the opponent's deck.

Extirpate offers an uncounterable extraction effect.

TBD: Hand disruption - does tutoring for Unmoored Ego cover it? Board wipes - a few options to find What if Archive Trap gets surgical'd?
