Parfait is an old Vintage archetype which started as a mono white tap out control deck with prison elements. The 93/94 Parfait deck is also often based in white but the main part of the deck is the artifact package. There are four central artifact pieces of the deck and those are Howling Mine, Winter Orb, Relic Barrier and Icy Manipulator.

These cards synergize heavily with each other and make up both the decks card engine and lockdown engine. The plan is to use Icy Manipulator and Relic Barrier to tap down the Howling Mine and Winter Orb so that only you get to draw cards and untap all of your lands.

Aside from these artifacts, the deck uses white for cards like Disenchant and Swords to Plowshares to be able to survive until it can set up a lock, and it can also use blue for counterspells. With blue the deck also get access to Transmute Artifact and of course, power.

Last but not least, don't forget to put in a wincon or two.
