Deck Primer / Description

Hi, here is short explanation about this deck for you.
Tui and La, Moon and Ocean is our main engine that we use to win the game or just to gain value. Paradise Mantle and Freed from the Real on our commander draws us as much cards as we want and we have some additionals variations of this combo in deck. When our library is empty we can cast Mox Amber and Lotus Petal to get for Thassa's Oracle to win on the spot. To cover that we have a bunch of free counter magic like Pact of Negation or Fierce Guardianship. Also with our commander we can use just Mind Over Matter it does work as good as any other combo but you'll need to sculpt perfect hand in process. Also we can draw entire library with any two untapper creatures like Kelpie Guide and Forensic Researcher, but we will need Unctus, Grand Metatect to be in play for it. If these variants doesn't work you can use Psychosis Crawler to just kill your opponents with lifeloss, or use Grimoire Thief as your engine to mill your opponents.
Pretty neat thing in this deck is Lotus Field. You can use multiple cards to untap it and generate a lot of mana and also you can use Stifle or Trickbind or Mirrorshell Crab to counter it's ETB ability. To search it we have Expedition Map and you can find it with Urza's Saga.
Also we can go for Agatha's Soul Cauldron route, but we will need some preparations. We can use Gifts Ungiven to tutor cards into our graveyard and exile them to make any of our creatures combo with itself. Don't forget that you can fail to find during resolve of Gifts Ungiven and tutor just 2 cards to put them immediately into your graveyard. The most useful targets for Agatha's Soul Cauldron: Horseshoe Crab, Aphetto Alchemist.
