Strategy
Kefnet the Mindful is a defensive blue god that rewards you for keeping a full grip. Your main goal is to maintain seven or more cards in hand so Kefnet can attack as a evasive 5/5 threat, while the indestructible body makes it nearly impossible for opponents to remove. The deck leans into card draw and hand-filling effects—things like Jace, the Mind Sculptor; Steady Progress; and blue cantrips keep your hand stocked while you control the game.
The secondary ability slots nicely into a lands-matter or bounce-heavy shell. You're rewarding yourself for playing cards that refill your hand while bouncing lands back—this lets you replay mana dorks, ramp repeatedly, or dodge land destruction. The idea is to be the blue control-ish deck that wins through a hard-to-stop flying threat once you've stabilized and drawn enough cards. You're patient, methodical, and eventually unstoppable once Kefnet suits up and swings in.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Replace Jace and pricey draw spells with Divination, Thirst for Knowledge, and Sea Gate Restoration—they fill your hand cheaply and work just as well.
