Preamble
This is about as durdley of a deck as I've ever built, but its actually a lot of fun. The key to be the weak link at the table while you quietly draw your deck from Sygg and Finkel effects. There are some pillowfort effects and enough bounce to punish people who try to target you with attacks, so its actually not that challenging to convince people to leave you alone.
Once the table thins out and life totals start to get low, its time to try to finish the game with an unblockable carrier for Elbrus, the Binding Blade or Empyrial Plate. At this point, you should have all the counter magic backup you need to get there. If this fails, your only hope is really to clone opponents finishers and hope you get there.

Major props to Elberus which gets flipped often. The other unsung all-star is Homicidal Seclusion. Invisible Stalker, Ghastlord of Fugue, and Latch Seeker with this out will keep you in the game through lifelink.
Finally, Breathstealer's Crypt is unreal fun with Sygg out. Don't play Sygg without it.
