---

Arcanis the Omnipotent tends to immediately win you the game in 1 or 2 turns after he can tap. You'll want to ramp up and get him out as early as you safely can. People see ramp as a threat and will try to kill him so you'll need to ramp past for counterspells.

Combos:

• The Combo: Arcanis the Omnipotent + Mind Over Matter Instantly wins the game upon resolution.
• Ramp Reversal: Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal Untap all nonland permanents whenever you want. With enough mana rocks, this generates infinite mana and infinite card draw with Arcanis the Omnipotent.
• Navigation Drake: Peregrine Drake + Deadeye Navigator gives infinite mana.

Synergy:

• Tide Halls: High Tide or Dream Halls and spells which untap lands generate absurd amounts of mana. For best results, use bounce spells and Peregrine Drake

Other Notes:

• Immobilizing Ink , Pemmin's Aura, and Freed from the Real, organized from best to worst, will almost always be used on Arcanis the Omnipotent but do have other uses on your opponent's creatures.
• Generally, saving mana is bad as you want to combo off and win as soon as you can. You'll need a lot of control to keep Arcanis the Omnipotent alive once he's out though. Free spells can help achieve this.
• Cards like AEtherize will destroy attacking armies and when people know it's in your deck, you can bluff your way out of a lot of things, hence the tag, Pillow.
