I tried to combine my Gyruda Deck with Saruman of Many Colors to make him Kind of work.

So my idea was to work with the ability CIPHER and some unblockable creatures to get some more spells cast each turn, so Saruman's cool ability can proc consitantly.

Isochron sceptar,Elite Arcanist + some instants maybe counters are also very helpful.

Gyruda, Doom of Depths is Just a great mill card and it fits perfectly to find some answers or protection.

My Main Gyruda Deck: Varina's Companion

Im thankful for every Card suggestion. :)
