Deck overview

Saruman of Many Colors leads an Esper spellslinger control deck designed to trigger two-spell payoffs across all turns. The deck uses cheap cantrips, cost reducers, and disruption to reliably cast multiple spells each round, milling opponents and stealing their best instants, sorceries, and enchantments. Win conditions rely on compounding value: scaling threats like Consuming Aberration and Haughty Djinn, stealing opposing resources with Tasha, the Witch Queen and Hostage Taker, or resolving game-ending mass reanimation via Rise of the Dark Realms and Afterlife from the Loam once opposing graveyards are full.
