This is a battle of wits deck hoping to win by turn four-five with vannifar but with strong mid-late game potential provided by the non-combo creature package. Tied together by an enormous amount of tutors, with bring to light, neoform, eldritch evolution, primal command, eladamri's call, finale of devastation, chord of calling and wargate, it should be quite easy to find the various toolbox creatures that shine in specific matchups. The deck runs several synergystic packages. Firstly, with vannifar, pestermite, scryb ranger, renegade rallier, village bell ringer, breaching hippocamp and restoration angel we can turn any creature into kiki combo with vannifar. Secondly, with Lotus cobra, ramunap excavator, the gitrog moster, tireless tracker and knight of the reliquary there is major synergy with the 32ish fetch lands in the deck. In addition to this there are a wide selection of 1ofs in the mana base for knight of the reliquary (or wargate) to fetch. The third and final synergistic package comes with soulherder, restoration angel and the many etb ability creatures within the deck. The single copy of time warp opens the possibility of infinite turns, and the walls and coiling oracles can generate lots of card advantage if allowed to go unchecked. The trophy mages allow you to tutor up a few artifacts in the main deck, including crucible, ensnaring bridge and sword of fire and ice. The mastermind's acquisition can be cast off bring to light, and gives you access to a largely singleton sideboard.
