This is an unusual commander deck since it doesn't care very much to play the commander. The deck primarily sits and waits to see what opponent's do and then use their spells and creatures as tools against them. It is great for long, casual multiplayer games. I think it is too slow for 1v1, but it depends on the power of the other deck.

This deck loves clones. There are many creatures with cloning effects like Body Double, Clever Impersonator, Dack's Duplicate and others. The goal is to essentially take the best of what opponent's are playing and turn it against them. This applies to spells and artifacts as well with things like Wild Ricochet and Phyrexian Metamorph.

There are some wrath effects like Damnation, to keep the board from getting out of control. Support from counters like Dissipate and Draining Whelk help when something must be stopped.

A really cute interaction in the deck that I've used to win a few games as a surprise involves Repercussion and Blasphemous Act. Folks usually don't see it coming and with enough creatures in play, casting both of these spells on the same turn only requires 1RRR (a pretty low bar in a long EDH game!). It's usually quite easy to leave up additional mana with a counter to ensure both spells go off. Another spell that works well here is Chain Reaction.

The lands in the deck are pretty solid. I'm missing a Polluted Delta within the Grixis color pairs for fetchlands, but I still rarely have situations where I'm unable to produce the proper colors. The lands like to copy as well with Vesuva and Thespian's Stage.

Like my other commander decks, this one is also intended to be all foil. The exceptions are the 3 dual lands and Demonic Tutor. I probably will hunt for a judge foil tutor to replace the revised one.

Hope you enjoy!
