DRAW deck (ft. Ebony Owl Netsuke) (Modern) [Révision 23]

This deck continues the series of decks based on "crappy cards that no one wants to play with" and brings it to the next level. It also covers the two main holes of my deckbuilding adventure: Izzet and Control decks.
This one focuses on the opponents hands and delivers damages even before the drawing phase. This cards combo proved to be very fun to play and still devastating against different type of decks.

OFFENSIVE STRATEGY
The more cards our opponents draw, the better it is for us. We have permanents like Ebony Owl Netsuke and Fevered Visions that deals tons of damage each turn, even if the latter is way more consistent as it force to draw and requires only 4 cards in hand to kick in. When you have multiple of them in play, the game is pretty much done.
But mostly low-mana decks have no problem whatsoever to play multiple cards at once and in many cases our base strategy can't work: that's why we use other tricks to keep our opponents with 7 cards in hand everytime. Howling Mine proved to be an absolute blast in that aspect, forcing to draw an additional card at every draw phase, and again: having multiple of them in play is a huge bonus to our offensive strategy. Temple Bell, even if it's less powerful, is great to make each player draw as we wish. Usually at this point each player is drawing a bunch of cards every turn, so Cerebral Vortex and the Runeflare Trap can finish them off easly. Molten Psyche is simply devastating in four-player games.

DEFENSIVE STRATEGY
The flaw is when our opponent play good cards that we made him/her draw. I tried to fill the defensive strategy with counters, like Dream Fracture or Remand, that are good even for the offensive side, but it slows down the game too much and it end up being a bad deck. I'm still working on it tho, considering Outwit, as at this point the deck is armless against spells like Shock.
It's actually more effective to wipe the board using Call to Heel and Whelming Wave as they trigger our offensive cards like Molten Psyche and Ebony Owl Netsuke. Swans of Bryn Argoll is perfect against creatures, as it can't be damaged and makes our opponent draw a lot more cards. It proved to be exceptionally good during actual play.

That's it! Have fun with this new Izzet control deck. Enjoy it.
