The general idea of Circu, Fateseal Lobotomist is to establish a rather non threatening board state while being able to impose your will on the decks of your enemies. This will leave them with nothing more than dead cards, or with things that you don't care about. To do this, the player will have to play the key cards needed to establish control.

This deck can be played several ways using its Lantern Control theme. Either aggressively or passively.
