Kraum, Ludevic's Opus / Tymna the Weaver

How it plays & wins

This deck is a blue-black combo-control list built to dig for a few key pieces and go off. Its engine is card-advantage and tutoring: Necropotence, Ad Nauseam, Rhystic Study, and a dense tutor suite (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor) feed into interaction like Force of Will, Force of Negation, and Mystic Remora. Tymna the Weaver supports the life-for-cards plan, and the many fast mana sources accelerate into it.

The clearest win path is the Thassa's Oracle lines, since Demonic Consultation and Tainted Pact can empty the library while Oracle wins on the spot once the library is small enough. The Underworld Breach, Lion's Eye Diamond, and Brain Freeze package is a second loop that can mill the opponent. The list does not show a clear non-combo finisher, so the deck relies on these combos rather than on combat with Kraum, Ludevic's Opus.
