Hi folks,
Having some fun with this deck, built largely around
Consuming Aberration 
. While as a control deck it can function on its own until it gets mr Consuming-wincon, the wincon does pretty much... well, win the game.
If anyone has any suggestions on another wincon that would suit thematically, by all means I'm open to them.
Sewer Nemesis 
would fit the bill as slightly weaker Aberrations, but as another 4 drop it'd be hard to squeeze it in.

Reflecting Pool 
Pretty standard landsuite. Could probably afford to include 4x
Creeping Tar Pit 
as an alternate wincon, but the beauty of the current suite is that they can all usually come in untapped.

Dimir Cutpurse 
4 x
Consuming Aberration Went with the Cutpurse over
Shadowmage Infiltrator 
mainly due to the discard - if it hits, ensures that Aberration will be able to be cast immediately. Could have just gone with a Specter, but I primarily wanted the draw to ensure I kept getting fuel. Aberration is a beefy beater himself, and milling out is a real possibility with spells that get multi-cast.

Reality Strobe 
Raven's Crime means late game, I can turn land into mill. Mark of Eviction is repeatable, non-card-disadvantage bounce, and works so well with Leyline of Anticipation. Reality Acid as at worst it's slow removal that can hit anything, and at best it synergises with Reality Strobe for repeatable vindicate and repeatable casts. Reality Strobe is a free spell every 3 turns. Consuming Vapors is card advantage, works very well with Leyline, and triggers Aberration twice. Leyline is very, very useful in the deck, and I have 3 to increase my odds of getting it in the opening hand - but I can't bring myself to run 4, given that beyond the first they're pretty much redundant.
So there you have it!
Jax
