Deck Description

This deck is themed to make you a puppeteer - Controlling which creatures tap, and which don't.
The dolls are your marionettes - Use them with Cipher, or use them as blockers. Or both!
Mind Control/Persuasion/Fool's Demise are the win conditions - Dazzle your opponent's creatures with a spectacular show, and convince them to give you a little helping hand!

I'm not too sure how this deck will play out, so I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys might have. I'm not too good with control - I always tend to beat my opponent in the face with my 1/1s.
Any and all suggestions will be considered, and pointers on what will and won't work are always accepted!
Just, remember to keep with the theme, please!

Edit: Added Drift of Phantasms because during a playtest I realized how vital the architects are to the deck's mechanics, and needed a way to draw them.

Deck discussion for Puppet Strings

Nice deck, I like the idea with the Puppets, may not fit the design but, Pariah's Shield on Stuffy Doll is a great mid-game combo.

Well, I suppose it looks a little bit like a masquerade mask. I'll sideboard it for now, but I'll probably add it if I find myself needing more defense while actually playing. Thanks for the suggestion!
