This is my third attempt at building Kess. It used to be a more tuned combo focused deck using dramatic reversal and isochron scepter, but I found it to became repetitive and not fun to play against. The whole focus of this deck is to copy my opponents and mine spells for value. The win con is to have a really big "X" costing spell that is copied for an even bigger effect. Not including any counters or the really good black tutors. Cards that double damage are there to increase the effectiveness of said "X" spells and to increase the speed of the game in general.
