Deck Description

A blue artifact control deck designed to completely shut down your opponents deck.

How to Play

Use your blue instants to draw cards, counter and generally stall your opponent early on.
If you can use Muddle the Mixture's transmute ability to search for painters servant.
Play Painter's servant and choose a colour, if possible the main colour of your opponents deck, if multi-coloured or colourless choose a colour of spells which you think may be used against you (for example, blue to stop any counters or black to stop discard cards)
Use Polymorph or Proteus staff on one of your creatures, either Painter's Servant or your Flayer Husk or even Mutavault.
When Iona enters choose the colour you've already picked with Painter's Servant.
Succes! Painter's Servant makes everything in the game that chosen colour, cards in everyone's hand all permanents everything. With Iona, this means your opponent can't cast anything.

Originally had an Emrakul, the aeons torn in there. Even though it's hard to deal with and I love the annihilator ability it wasn't that much of a threat lol.

I had thought of that too, in it's early stages it was blue and white. Using raise the alarm and path to exile mainly.
I might have a little test of it soon see how it goes on. You reckon just a few bolts and low mana red instants?

You got any cards in mind that would work?
Only problem is I've got to take out some cards to replace them.
