How to Play

This deck utilizes powerful triggered abilities and then allows you to copy them to compound the punishment they administer.
Most of the creatures are flying or unblockable, to help ensure you hit player life directly, allowing you to cast a copy of the Card encoded with Cipher.
Nykthos is included along with high-devotion hybrid cards to help ramp up mana.

Combinations can be particulary nasty, especially if it's something like playing Gray Merchant.
Let's say Strionic Resonator, 1 Deathcult Rogue w/ Stolen Identity Cipher, 2 Nightveil Specter along with Nykthos and 2 other land (S,I).
Gray Merchant and Asphodel in Hand.
Tap 2 lands, tap Nykthos, add 8 Black mana into your mana pool.
Play Gray Merchant. 10 damage/ 10 Life.
Combat Phase, attack with Deathcult Rogue, cast Stolen Identity Cipher, copy Gray Merchant, 12 damage, 12 life. Pay 2 for Strionic Resonator from the 3 Mana left in your pool, copy triggered Cipher, copy Gray Merchant again, deal 14 damage, gain 14 life.
36 Damage against everyone.
Or Dinrova, continually copying, returning targets to hand and forcing discard.
Or Necropolis Regent, copying triggered effect and dropping stupid amount of counters on Deathcult Rogue or other creatures that are allowed to hit directly.
Or Hands of Binding, continually force-tapping powerful creatures.

Dismiss into Dream is added to allow punishing removal.
Even Shipwreck Singer's ability forcing them to attack will target their creature, forcing them to sacrifice it.
