Brewing Pot:

ETB is the base mechanic of the deck, the whole idea is to ETB out using wizards or other spells. Your opponents may shut down one of your combo pieces but it's easy enough to build up another because of all the options.

This deck goes infinite in almost anything it does and probably won't sit well in playgroups who don't allow it.

Turn 4 kills

The quickest way to infinite ETB your wizards is with Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker.

Cast Ghostly Flicker then flicker two lands assuming you have 4 and a wizard like Manic Scribe or Viashino Pyromancer in play, then cast Dualcaster Mage and copy Ghostly Flicker. Repeat this process and Ghostly Flicker your Dualcaster Mage and any other wizard that has a neat etb.

Provided you have Sol Ring for ramp and Ashnod's Altar in play you can go crazy with bloodline necromancer + Inalla, Archmage Ritualist

Doomsday Pile

For this pile to work you need to have a creature in play.

Pile order: Cast Pilfered Plans, dump Laboratory Maniac and Champion of Wits, draw into Dark Ritual and Victimize.

Untap Engine

Thanks to the latest addition Spellseeker, it's easier to run Dramatic Reversal.

Any good instant spell imprinted on Isochron Scepter or Elite Arcanist + Paradox Engine + Sol Ring or Gilded Lotus

Combos

There are tons of combos in this deck, I swap out cards here and there depending on the meta.

The easiest combos would be to play Dualcaster Mage / Naru Meha, Master Wizard and copy Ghostly Flicker / Displace with another Wizard or combo piece in play.

Below is a list of some of the combos to help illustrate some of the basics of the deck.

Altar of the Brood runs well with most ETB triggers.

• Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker + Venser, Shaper Savant to clean up nicely

• Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker + Sower of Temptation to take control of all creatures, ensure you create a token copy with Inalla's eminence.

• Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker + Vela the Night-Clad to drain opponents of their life.

• Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker + Ghitu Journeymage to deal damage to your opponents until they're dead.

• Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker + Champion of Wits and Laboratory Maniac in play to draw to win.

• Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame infinite hasty copies.

• Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker infinite ETB/ Untap all lands to cast more spells.

• Isochron Scepter or Elite Arcanist + Paradox Engine + Sol Ring. Imprint almost any 2 cmc on Isochron Scepter or Elite Arcanist to activate infinite Tap/Untap

• Isochron Scepter or Elite Arcanist + Paradox Engine + Sol Ring + Reality Shift to mill out opponents.

• Isochron Scepter or Elite Arcanist + Paradox Engine + Sol Ring + Counterspell to lock out opponents.

• Isochron Scepter or Elite Arcanist + Paradox Engine + Sol Ring + Rakdos Charm chances are your playgroup has more creatures in play.
