Esper GenericBlink grinds with Solitude, Flickerwisp, Ephemerate, and Overlord of the Balemurk value; Thoughtseize proactively strips their key interaction (Solitude, Thoughtseize) or their best blink piece before it snowballs. Claim the Firstborn can steal a cheap Phelia or Flickerwisp to blank a blink trigger and turn it into an attacker. Cool but Rude gives us a repeatable discard-to-damage/tutor engine that outgrinds their card advantage over a long game. Nethergoyf and Ox of Agonas are cut since Orcish Bowmasters and Fatal Push punish clunky big spells, and Violent Urge is too narrow against their removal-heavy plan.
