Homebrew commander fun, my first commander deck. The goal is to abuse Ephara's card draw ability to get an insane card advantage over your opponent. You can usually play a creature in your own turn but you can also get your creatures to enter the battlefield in opponents' turns with cards like Long Road Home, Displace, Hour of Need and Angelic Renewal.

Some of the key cards:

Brimaz, King of Oreskos: he gives 2 devotion and he can trigger Ephara's draw ability every time he attacks or blocks, great card here.

Vedalken Orrery: allows you to cast creatures whenever you want, which makes Ephara give even more draws.

Soltari Visionary: this hilarious guy is one of my favourite hate cards in MTG, he's (usually) unblockable and can get rid of almost any bothersome enchantment AND he gives two devotion.

Island Sanctuary: if you can get Ephara's draw ability to go off often enough, you can hide on this island and skip draw phases so that you're basically invincible...
