My take on a mono blue competitive deck using Orvar, the All-Form as the commander. I'd love to hear any feedback on the list, the combo's i've added or should add or anything really. This commander has some interesting ways to combo since his ability turns spells such as Whim of Volrath or Gigadrowse into a copy spell along with their original effect. The point is to create infinite mana and then using your mana on one of the outlets such as Blue Sun's Zenith or on a buyback spell like Whim of Volrath or Clockspinning to make an infinite amount of anything you want.

A few of the combo's in the deck are:

Some other value things the deck can do is copy just about anything and assuming you have infinite mana you can get an infinite amount of anything on the board. You can use things such as Mirrormade or Phantasmal Image to copy any artifacts, enchantents or creatures on the board. You can also make a ton of copies of things like Consecrated Sphinx , Mulldrifter , Arcum's Astrolabe , Mystic Remora or Rhystic Study to generate a ton of card advantage.

One of the most interesting and powerful cards in the deck is actually Spellseeker since it is a one card combo with orvar on the battlefield. The line you take requires 6 mana available and is as follows:

  1. Cast Spellseeker targeting Essence Flux (3 mana remaining)
  2. Cast Essence Flux targeting Spellseeker . With the 2 search triggers, find High Tide and Hidden Strings (2 mana remaining)
  3. Cast High Tide (2 mana remaining since islands now tap for UU)
  4. Cast Hidden Strings targeting 2 islands which creates a copy of those 2 islands and also untaps the 2 islands. You also cipher Hidden Strings on a creature. (8 mana remaining)
  5. Attack with the ciphered creature, recasting Hidden Strings targeting an island and Spellseeker . Use the spellseeker search to find Snap
  6. Cast Snap Targeting Spellseeker , with the copy searching a Muddle the Mixture . (10 mana remaining)
  7. Transmute Muddle the Mixture to find Sapphire Medallion and cast it. (5 mana remaining)
  8. Recast Spellseeker , finding Whim of Volrath (3 mana remaining)
  9. Cast Whim of Volrath with buyback targeting Sapphire medallion (1 mana remaining)
  10. Cast Whim of Volrath targeting an island. You can do this infinitely since an island creates UU and you can cast whim with buyback for U
  11. with infinite mana, you can cast Whim of Volrath targeting Spellseeker which will find Pull from Tomorrow .
  12. Cast Pull from Tomorrow to draw your entire deck, and use one of the aforementioned combo's with infinite mana to win the game.

Another way to create infinite mana is with Archaeomancer which is pretty simple but requires a few cards in hand. You need orvar in play and ideally archaeomancer in play, but this is not necessary provided you have 7 total mana.

  1. Cast Archaeomancer or have it in the battlefield with 3 mana remaining.
  2. Cast High Tide .
  3. Cast any targeting spell such as Dream Grip, Thermal Flux etc. on an island
  4. Cast Essence Flux targeting archaeomancer, creating a copy of archaeomancer which then returns the targeting spell back to your hand. When the original archaeomancer returns to the battlefield, have it return essence flux to your hand
  5. Repeat this process to create infinite mana
