Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Kwain, Itinerant Meddler leads a group-draw control deck that makes everyone draw and then punishes that draw. The primary plan is to force mass draws with Kwain, Temple Bell, Howling Mine, Folio of Fancies and Windfall effects, then win by decking with Laboratory Maniac or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, draining with Psychosis Crawler and Scrawling Crawler, or milling with Folio. Approach of the Second Sun provides a separate spell-based win. Heavy stax including Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, Silent Arbiter, Aether Barrier and Overburden slows combat while Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe fund the engine. Kwain is a repeatable draw engine, not the finisher.
