Azorius Induced Amnesia - Modern Deck Tech

Quick Update: Reading the card explains the card. And Induced Amnesia only returns cards when it goes to the graveyard. So part of the deck tech below where you gain advantage for hitting yourself, and the part where you mill your opponent out faster and faster is incorrect. The deck essentially is about removing their hand, which means probably going up in Spirits and other draw replacement effects.

Pangoria's New Deck Tech time! This time I have an Azorius Induced Amnesia value deck for modern. Now I didn't go full combo with Panrharmonicon into infinite drawing your opponent to death. Instead I was trying to go for a value deck that controls the board as it out values your opponent and forces them into a 4 turn clock that can ruin their combos and plans.

Now a deck like this has some obvious issues, such as helping your opponent into drawing into their combo and that it is seemingly weaker vs fast/aggro decks. Some other concerns is the land count, which makes it hard to hit the 4/5 you want on curve.

Now Induced Amnesia is interesting in that you can use it on yourself alternatively for card draw, then blink it back to your opponent and take away their hand and force them to go through more of their deck than they can handle.

On the flip side, if you are against an aggro deck, you're hoping to pop a Spirit of the Labyrinth down and instead you would be restricting their draws while controlling yours. Remember you can blink Induced Amnesia twice and cause the 2nd one to eat up their hand while you get back yours.

Now, I pass it off to anyone out there who wants to try this deck. Feel free to put links to videos in the comments below!
