Deck overview

This is a mono-blue draw-go control deck helmed by Atemsis, All-Seeing, built around one primary alternate win: deal combat damage with Atemsis while holding cards of six different mana values in hand. The deck drowns the table in card draw - Mystic Remora, Teferi's Ageless Insight, The Magic Mirror, Archmage Emeritus, and Jin-Gitaxias - while a dense counterspell suite keeps the board clear. Atemsis is supported by untap effects (Freed from the Real, Pemmin's Aura, Thousand-Year Elixir) to chain multiple draw activations per turn, rapidly assembling the diverse-MV hand she needs. Secondary paths are big flying beaters (Jin-Gitaxias, Nezahal, Primal Tide, God-Eternal Kefnet, Thryx, the Sudden Storm) backed by extra turns from Time Warp and Teferi, Master of Time. The deck is slow but inexorable, trading early tempo for overwhelming card advantage and a telegraphed, hard-to-stop finish.
