Strategy
Eriette, the Beguiler is your ticket to stealing opponents' stuff with style. The core gameplan is simple: suit up your opponents' creatures and artifacts with Auras you control, then watch as Eriette's ability lets you commandeer them. You're essentially playing a theft-themed deck that doubles as political control—you can hold threats hostage indefinitely as long as your Auras stay attached. Win by turning stolen creatures sideways, using stolen mana rocks to ramp into bigger plays, or just grinding value while your opponents watch helplessly.
The beauty here is flexibility. You're not locked into one path: early game you're applying pressure with Eriette's lifelink and stealing small utility creatures, mid-game you're upgrading to stealing larger threats, and late-game you've assembled a board of confiscated permanents. The Grixis colors give you access to creature removal, counterspells, and reanimation—plenty of ways to protect your theft engine while keeping the table in check. Your opponents will quickly learn that leaving creatures untapped is risky when you're holding Auras.
