Once upon a time there was a band called Course of Empire and this song was, for what will be obvious reasons, picked as the title.

The resilience of a Rebel deck coupled with the exclusionary tactics of an Eye of Singularity. That's it.

In some respects, this deck is hard to improve: what rebels am I going to include that I haven't considered? On the other hand: a third Eye could help this deck. Against some decks, Eyes are like playing a second copy of Wrath, except it hits any nonbasic land permanent. So...like Wrath of God plus Balance? Something like that. It certainly is able to do a number on decks that strive for consistency or want to generate a lot of tokens. I don't know what I'd cut for another Eye though. Rebels are mana hungry as a strategy so removing a land is a bad idea. Bound in Silence might be too cutesy but it is a searchable way to control creatures. Potentially handy when facing down a big bad.

We shall see. Time to take this on a ride.
