Gather around everyone as I tell you a tale, a tale of a deck brewed not just too long ago... a deck using an odd assortment of Shadows Over Innistrad cards.

Spirits, fall, death, and legends have all banded together for a Halloween's night. A night that'll leave your opponents in terror... and mystified.

Okay. Brass tax: This is a hard control Abzan creature-less deck that uses 2 cards you don't see that often: Autumnal Gloom   and Myth Realized. Gloom is very hard to remove, considering the only real usual suspect that picks him off is Abrupt Decay which your opponent is going to grind their teeth over instead of removing Liliana of the Veil, and when Gloom flips you're in great shape on the attack. He flips very quickly, often the turn he's played (and easily on t3) - if not usually turn after.

A lot of the normal spell suite you can expect from Abzan caked with board wipe. A few manlands like Stirring Wildwood to get around the death you're raining down. Lingering Souls is also a main win-con.

It's time for Halloween everyone.
