Guide
Strengths
Once you've taken control of the board, it's hard to lose. With Cowardly Lion in place of Spellbook you get one more defensive tool.
Weaknesses
Like all control combo decks, it suffers a lot against aggro. Without Spellbook, it risks losing in super late game against other control decks or in the mirror.
Mulligan
You always look for something to draw and Piggy Bank to ramp early.
Key combos and lines
Obviously Merlin's Prophecy + Obliterate.
Matchups
Favored against midrange. Unfavored against super aggro and maybe against the control decks that have Spellbook
