Deck Description

This is what I would consider a "Thief" deck. It is designed to play/exile your opponents cards. Play your cards early game until you get your focus locked in and then play your opponents cards for the remainder of the game.

How to Play

Early game:
Play Stalker, cipher Hidden Strings for speed, enchant with Battle Mastery for double effects. Play Nightveil/Daxos, use Temporal Eddy to take land so you can cast spells exiled to Nightveil. Enchant Nightveil/Daxos with Aqueous Form and/or Battle Mastery for double effects and better consistency. Imprint Isochron with Azorius Charm for consistent card draw, life gain and putting opponents creatures on top of
their library. Use Hidden strings to untap the Isochron so you can use it again.

Mid game:
Copy Nightveil with Stolen Identity, cipher Stolen Identity to Stalker, attack and copy again. Use Daxos and Nightveil to gain life and play/exile cards. By this point you should be playing more of your opponents cards than you are of your own. Use the return spells to select specific cards you want from the battlefield.

Late game:
Put out tons of Nightveil Specter and/or Invisible Stalker copies and overrun/mill your opponent while playing any of their cards you like.
