Mummy Archetype (Written)

[Mzse1216]

A little extra Halloween-themed archetype that I've cooked up. This one inspired by the small series of "Mummy" cards from the Pharaonic Guardian set as well as general ancient Egyptian culture. This deck has a FLIP control strategy. Feedback is welcomed and appreciated. 

Happy Halloween!
