Deck overview

This deck pairs Imoen, Mystic Trickster with Dungeon Delver to create a mono-blue value engine focused on taking the initiative and doubling room triggers in the Undercity. Supported by 13 copies of Sphinx's Approach, the deck cycles rapidly through its library to dig for answers, hit land drops, and exile five copies to cheat out massive Sphinx payoffs such as Sphinx of the Second Sun and Ormos, Archive Keeper. Early turns prioritize establishing both commanders and taking the initiative with evasive creatures. The doubled rooms accelerate mana by fetching multiple basics immediately, steadily draining opponents with the Trap room before cheating out huge threats via the Throne of the Dead Three. With unblockable enablers and targeted bounce, the deck controls opposing attackers while punching through for lethal combat damage over multiple mid-game combat cycles.
