Threats, threats, threats. This deck puts out threats as quickly as possible. It needs to find Venerated Teacher , so I put Drift of Phantasms to find it. I was going to include [c]Champion's Drake, but it is more of a win more card (and doesn't work well with Steady Progress ). Steady Progress can make my depletion lands last longer, and Rhystic Study makes sure that player are either slowed down (and die to my quick threats), or ensure that I draw even more threats.
