Obviously, Dawnsire would be a major upgrade and an easy wincon with our commander and a Stuffy Doll-esque effect."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Since this deck is built around this setup, we have tutors designed to hunt for the throne.

If you think about averages, out of the 10 cards, roughly 3 will be lands. So your smartest opponent will give you the 3 worst nonland cards out of 7. I would say that works out pretty well, though I've yet to see it in practice."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I elected to make the deck damage focused and did not include any \"traditional\" mill cards. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Mind Bomb is such a hilarious and weird card, especially with our commander. If you have three opponents, it basically says they either discard three cards each or mill nine (or some combination in-between). Pretty amazing value for 1 mana and 3 life (the damage you get hit with). It makes me wish we could include Isochron Scepter in here."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"If you elect to sub cards in, remember that The Mindskinner's ability is a damage replacement effect. Cards that require you to do damage, such as Coastal Piracy, WILL NOT WORK."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"The Water Crystal is probably one of the best upgrades you can make.
