Deck overview

This mono-blue deck uses Bilbo, Thief in the Night to turn the graveyard into an active resource. Bilbo discounts spells cast from outside the hand and lets you cast an instant, sorcery, or artifact from your graveyard whenever he attacks. The deck supports this plan with evasion tools like Gossip's Talent and The Destined Thief, ensuring Bilbo attacks safely to reuse utility and draw spells. Clone spells such as Cackling Counterpart and Self-Reflection duplicate key creatures to scale board presence. Control elements like Propaganda, Aetherize, and tap Auras suppress aggressive opponents while you dig through the library. In the late game, the deck finishes by locking the board with Hullbreaker Horror or closing out the game with self-mill payoffs like Laboratory Maniac and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries.
