Legendary Creature — Faerie Knight
Flash Flying Whenever you cast your first spell during each opponent's turn, look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of those cards into your hand and the other into your graveyard.
“Flash-enabled control engine that turns instants into card advantage.”
Nymris is a sneaky value engine that rewards you for playing interactive magic on your opponents' turns. Since it has flash, you can hold it up as a bluff while keeping mana open for instant-speed answers, then cast it at the last moment to start generating card advantage immediately. The core gameplan is to cast one spell per opponent's turn—think instant-speed interaction like counterspells, removal, or cantrips—and convert that into card selection and graveyard setup. You're essentially turning every answer you cast into a mini-tutor, filling your hand while stocking your graveyard for reanimation or delve synergies.
The deck wins through a combination of tempo and inevitability: you control the board with cheap instant-speed spells while Nymris draws you toward your threats. You can pivot into combat damage once you've stabilized, or lean into a graveyard-based win with cards that benefit from having creatures in the yard. Since Nymris triggers on your first spell each opponent's turn, you want a suite of efficient instants and flash creatures that don't cost much mana, letting you hold up answers while still advancing your game plan.

Skip pricey blue cantrips like Mystic Reflection—use Counterspell and Mana Leak instead of Force of Will, and lean on modal removal like Dimir Charm over Dress Down.
