Deck Description

bit of a meme deck admittedly, but i thought the idea was a good time.

will probably need some tuning

How to Play

the idea is to get toss the dragon auras into the graveyard while also searching for aethersnipe and grim guardian with grisly salvage and careful study. then just continue throwing as many auras in the graveyard as possibe so you can evoke aethersnipe out to bounce itself back to your hand- trigger all the dragon auras to enter the battlefield, and then trigger grim guardian a bunch of a times a turn. If you ever make it to 6 mana, you can just hardcast aethersnipe for real and just win that way hopefully with a buffer hastier version of itself that has evasion.

Setessan Skirmisher is there as an earlier threat to get something going- gargantua is gas if you need a card to discard and help search or win as it will also trigger the auras.

Sideboard
Nexus wardens acts as an extra payoff for the jank, and also probably good against burn.

Edict for flashback utility and against bogles

Nausea for tokens and elves

Spellbomb- graveyard hate

Crypt rats- a pestilencey boardclear you can re-use and find with grisly salvage

Dead weight- Enchantment based extra removal

Quiet disrepair- more enchantment based removal of the artifact and enchantment hating variety and also maybe something to bring against burn if needed

Spreading seas- idk something for tron

wanted as much enchantment based stuff as possible to help out with grim guardian

Contingency Plan, Forbidden Alchemy, Strategic Planning, [[Taigam's Scheming]] or Lead the Stampede could be of use to get important cards into your hand and throw the rest into your graveyard.

thanks! the reason I went with careful study and grisly salvage for my diggers was the study can dump 2 cards that are already in my hand (and i need that in case i draw into a dragon's breath because i cant really support red reliably), and grisly salvage can also be used to grab things that have already been killed/used (no value aethersnipe), as well as help with lands if needed. The disadvantage though to grisly salvage is that it's not a comfortable second turn spell AFTER careful study (its impossible haha), so i might still consider two mana blue digs. thanks for the suggestions!
