All the cards in the world can't help you if you can't remove [[Ensnaring Bridge]]!

Lantern Control is an artifact-based control/prison deck, and its goal is to stop everyone from playing Magic. First, it uses discard spells to craft a game plan and strip its opponent of their ability to interact. Then, it will use hate rocks to shut down various aspects of the game, like Ensnaring Bridge to shut off combat, or Pithing Needle to shut off planeswalkers and other activated abilities. Finally, it assembles the Lantern lock using Lantern of Insight plus mill rocks like Codex Shredder and Pyxis of Pandemonium, which lets it see what cards its opponent will draw, and easily get rid of the ones that can break the lock. Lantern Control rarely wins through combat, and usually wins when either its opponent concedes the game, or after their library is slowly milled out, one card at a time.

Thanks to channel member Lanquee for helping me create this list.

Lantern Control operates best when not every deck in the format has access to incredible card advantage engines. But since this is obviously not true... This list attempts to solve the Riddler problem by including [[Narset, Parter of Veils]] as an answer to that sort of nonsense while giving Lantern some card advantage of its own.
