Deck Description

This deck relies on the Fleet Swallower/Fraying Sanity combo. I've wanted to use Fleet Swallower in a deck since I saw him in my first pack of Ixalan, and I believe I've found a way to do so. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

How to Play

Control your opponent's hand by forcing them to discard or control the board by countering/bouncing their spells. Try to gain as many treasure tokens along the way, and as soon as you can play the fish, do so. Next turn, swing in with the fish. From what I understand, it doesn't matter if the fish connects, just that he attacks, so what they do with it after that is inconsequential. Once you've milled them of half of their library and combat has resolved, drop your Fraying Sanity and enjoy your win.

Possible issues:
- Tempo: This deck will play relatively slowly, and since Dinosaurs are all the rage right now, I can't imagine this being super competitive. It will also take a while to get the mana base you need to cast your fish, wait a turn, then cast Fraying Sanity. The deck was built with some hand destruction to counter that, but it may not be as effective as is necessary

- Combo: The same issue persists in any combo deck, in that you may not have the cards you need when you need them. The deck relies on a specific two cards, and while I've included as much Scry and draw as I felt possible, it still leaves the question of whether it'll be enough.
