Game plan

Very Control deck. Hold on in the early turns by controlling the board, aim for the mid/long game and you'll see that your opponent will end up with really few cards (if any) in hand and you will quickly close out the game. The deck revolves entirely around spells and broomsticks.

Guide

Weaknesses

Always protect merlin and the apprentice. Boitata depending on the matchup

Mulligan

always keep Sandman, always mulligan spellbook unless it's a perfect curve. I often mulligan merlin's prophecy too

Key combos and lines

merlin, who makes a double prophecy, and spellbook is very strong. boitata counters lightning bolts and trample. the apprentice on low-cost spells (even those given by spellbook) can make the difference.

Matchups

unfavorable against really aggro decks.

Notes and changes

you can replace the piggy bank with a spell of your choice, for example Freeze, lightning bolt or en-passant.
