Deck overview

This deck is an Esper spellslinger and theft midrange strategy commanded by Saruman of Many Colors. The main game plan focuses on casting two spells each turn to mill opponents and cast their best instant, sorcery, or enchantment spells for free. Early turns focus on developing mana through rocks like Arcane Signet and setting up cost reducers or draw engines such as Monk Class and Archmage Emeritus. Once Saruman enters on Turn 6, the deck takes advantage of 'free' untap spells like Snap, Frantic Search, Rewind, and Unwind to trigger double-spell abilities on both your turn and opponents' turns. Win conditions include swarming with Wraith tokens from Lord of the Nazgûl, attacking with an evasive Consuming Aberration, draining life with Guiltfeeder, or reanimating multiple graveyards with Breach the Multiverse. The deck features robust interaction and plan protection but relies on opponents having high-quality graveyard targets.
