Raffine, Scheming Seer
$5.71
Legendary Creature — Sphinx Demon

Esper filtering and combo that loots on every attack, digging for Doomsday or reanimation targets while growing an attacker.

Whenever you attack, target attacking creature connives X, where X is the number of attacking creatures. You draw X, discard X, and the conniving creature gets a +1/+1 counter for each nonland card discarded. Raffine is a 1/4 flyer with ward {1}, so she can attack safely and loot every turn. Attacking with more creatures digs deeper. The discards also stock the graveyard for reanimation, and the counters can turn a small evasive creature into a real clock.
In the recorded games, competitive lists used the filtering to set up Doomsday piles finished with Thassa's Oracle, or found Ad Nauseam with Enlightened Tutor. Others discarded big creatures like Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and reanimated them. Dauthi Voidwalker and other cheap evasive creatures got the attack triggers going early. Counterspells and discard kept rival combos in check, and counters landing on Walking Ballista turned it into removal. The deck held up well against slower decks. It struggled against relentless pressure, fast combo it could not stop, and counterspells on its own key spells like Day's Undoing.
