This is a deck that consists of a lot of cards that are in the bait and switch deck, mixed with some cards I just had laying around. The idea is to steal your opponents creatures, and then slaughter him/her with them. You have several flying/flying capable cards to defend against flying, or fly over their grounded units, as well as some unsummon cards to mop up the enemies before attacking.
You also have Arcanis the Omnipotent and 4 Rhystic Studies to give you increased drawing, as well as cards spy network to rearrange the top cards of your deck to let you set up the stack in your favor. Trickery charm is perfect for this deck, as changing creature types works wonderously with peer pressure, flying use useful if you need to get in a little extra damage, or you can choose to use it like a spy network to allow you to rearrange your deck a bit.
It usually wins quite quickly 
Oh, and I take reality twist out a lot...because people just don’t like playing against it, and I admit... its exremely cheap. But its fun to play on the field and watch your opponents expression (assuming they don’t have one of the many ways around it  ).
Without further ado:

| I do not think I’ve ever lost playing this deck thus far... I lent it to Hazael and he managed to biff it... but he’s new to the MTG scene. In my hands... I do believe it’s undefeated |

Actually, I have a Wizard deck that rather powns out, it’s pretty much legions block T2, except for Azami...
Patron Wizards
Azamis
Supreme Inquisitor
Nameless One
A lot of other wizards that cost not very much to play.
Oh yea- Urza’s Incubator- Wizards
It works surprisingly well, incredible casual fun! It’s very good for casual, too!
I’d recommend you try it out sometime.
One note- NEVER, under any circumstances, should you attack with this deck. Ever. Always mill out their library with inquisitor. And bounce all permanents to their hand with temporal adept until they have no board and can’t play anything because of patron, and you’ve drawn everything because you can just stall until an Azami, who draws everything you need. So cheap |

I just finished my improved decklist... I pitted it against my sister (she was using my snake deck) and I found out it does really nice with all those creature bonuses snakes get (wakecaster ftw). Crown of Ascension was also a nice call, as I can already tell... put it on Mistform Ultimus then discard = every creature I control gains flying hehe.
I’m thinking about adding in a couple cryptic gateway so i can splash my snake legends in the deck . Oh and also, I’ll be using the x2 Konda’s Banner from my snake deck in this one when I play against my friends (bringing the total amount of cards to 62.)*
* Unless I replace the spynetworks as I might... like mentioned below.
The Borg are Coming! (Mono-Blue Control)[60]:
Creatures[20]:
4 Imagecrafter
3 Mistform Warchief
3 Mistform Wakecaster
2 Mistform Wall
2 Clone
2 Nameless One
1 Mistform Skyreaver
1 Mistform Shrieker
1 Mistform Ultimus
1 Arcanis the Omnipotent
Enchantments[8]:
4 Rhystic Study
4 Crown of Ascension
Sorceries[6]:
4 Peer Pressure
2 Bribery
Instants[6]:
3 Trickery Charm
3 Spy Network (might be replacing for x1 trickery charm + x2 konda’s banner)
Strategem:
Ok, first thing you’ll notice... there are quite a few expensive spells. Your remedy for this, is Trickery Charm/Spy Network in conjunction with Rhystic Study and later Arcanis the Omnipotent one to draw, draw, and draw more. IMO, they really need to reprint Rhystic Study... it is a nice card. For those who have no knowledge of it:
Rhystic Study wrote: Rhystic Study - 2U
Enchantment [Prophecy]
Whenever an opponent plays a spell, you may draw a card unless that player pays 1.
Then, using Mistform Ultimus, Imagecrafter, and all your little 1: change creature type to... abilities to set up things like Crown of Ascension and Peer Pressure. Mistform Wakecaster ’s 2UU: All creatures gain... works like a charm in this deck.. it is your best friend!
I’d just like to note Mistform Ultimus ’ usefullness... he is EVERY creature type. Meaning he counts as a ninja when you need more ninjas than your opponent to take all of them from him... it means when you put crown of ascension on him, and discard it, all your creatures gain flying. Love him.
Yeah... I lost my train of thought, but you get the point. You will own every creature on the field... and to boot, they’ll be flying when you need them to be.
Oh and bribery is fun too ^_^ |

yeah I did "biff" it, but I had no idea what to do lol.
I look at the cards in my hand, and if I dont understand one of them, I just ignore it the rest of the game.
I should have kept the reality twist out longer. That might have helped. |
Some of the best scenarios on EE...
