---

This list aims to stay under the radar, slipping in 1 or 2 damage against our opponent for beneficial effects and otherwise not painting a target on ourselves. We use a combination of counterspells, equipment, and board wipes to remove threats to our board position. Curse of Verbosity and Duelist's Heritage serve as inducements for our opponents to look elsewhere.

We can win through the following:

1. Aetherflux Reservoir + Bolas's Citadel . The optimal execution includes casting Mana Saverance first to remove all lands from our library, but we can also just pop off Burnished Hart a bunch of times during the setup phase and limit the number of lands we have to go through.

2. Hunted Phantasm + Massacre Wurm . We have several flicker options, the most convenient of which being Deadeye Navigator. Ephemerate and Ghostly Flicker can repeatedly flicker Archaeomancer plus one other creature, and Voidwalk can be triggered once a turn with an unblockable creature.

3. Agent of Treachery plus a flicker effect can induce morale-related concessions.
