The result is a lean Xerox-style deck that uses cantrips and card selection to find the right answers, control the pace of the game, and assemble a decisive Psychatog finish.### What you'll learn- Why Iñaki considers Psychatog a combo-control deck rather than a traditional control deck- The Xerox principle and how it supports a 19-land mana base- Why this build plays Accumulated Knowledge instead of more expensive card-advantage spells- The role of Lim-Dûl's Vault in finding Psychatog, Sickening Dreams, and other key cards- Why Wonder still matters, particularly in the Psychatog mirror- Choosing between Smother, Chain of Vapor, Ghastly Demise, and other removal options- How Sickening Dreams changes difficult matchups- The thinking behind the sideboard, including Annul, Hydroblast, Blue Elemental Blast, Engineered Plague, and Haunting EchoesWe also discuss how the deck approaches major Premodern matchups, including Replenish, Enchantress, StifleNought, the Psychatog mirror, and Hermit Druid strategies.**Want the full sideboard guide?**The Patreon Masterclass continues with matchup-by-matchup strategy, sideboard ins and outs, and a downloadable matchup matrix to help you prepare for your next tournament.Check the links below for the full guide and Iñaki's deck primer.- Iñaki's decklist and primer: https://moxfield.com/decks/0HD6FJd0q0q74ODhX3EsoQWhat do you think—is Psychatog a control deck, a combo deck, or something in between?
