Snap! —March 17, 2017
Picked up a Modern Masters Snapcaster Mage. I think he will help out with the graveyard shenanigans in the deck. Look forward to playing with him
Conjurer's Closet for your pick of the goodies you stole?

Nin, the Pain Artist is amazing with keranos for massive card draw

I disagree... Keranos is just the FIRST draw each turn.

Tk4890 yes keranos is for the first correct but he is indestructible so when Nin, the Pain Artist deals x damage to creature and its controller gets x cards so use nin hit keranos if he is a creature and you get card draw and don't lose any creatures.

I did not see it anywhere in the suggestions but Dack Fayden is insane for stealing things; if you can use his ult then all of your spells steal things. Plus if there are potent artifacts in your meta he just nabs those off the bat!
All in all I like the concept of this deck!

feyn_do_alduin, you're right that having instant speed steal effects is helpful. Out of the cards you mentioned, Grab the Reins seemed the best due to its flexibility. I've thrown it in.
golgariizzet Tk4890 and Genswift: thanks for your suggestions. Those are all great cards. However, I'm slowly cutting back on the number of permanents in the deck. I'm trying to focus in on the copying/recurring of sorceries and instants that blue and red do so well.

"Aikido," which uses the opponent's momentum against them, would be the hub for "copy & steal" decks. I didn't know until somebody told me either, lol.
Otherwise nice deck! +1.

I never liked being only allowed to steal at sorcery speed, here are some more versatile options. think of it this way, someone motions to attack you and you can use that to get rid of some creature you want off the board
Act of Aggression, Blind with Anger, Disharmony*, Grab the Reins, Temporary Insanity, Turn Against.
: good for pro-red cards*: only good in defense, and strictly worse than the others
