How to Play

The Mind Scultor does just that - manipulate either your own or opponent's library to win the game. It relies on two 2-card combos, Painter + Grindstone and Thessa + Paradigm Shift (or Demonic Consultation). To increase the chances of an early win, it often allows you to use your life as a resource to capitalise on powerful lands, cheap mana sources and extensive search mechanics, so you can draw and cast the right cards as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, it keeps a few protective tricks up its sleeve to counter threats, and with a bit of luck, it can even lock your opponent down early with Tinker and Chimil, allowing you to toy with your opponent at your leisure. :-)
