Introduction

This is the deck for people who want to play highly varying games by utilizing your opponents cards! With a plethora of clone, copy and theft spells, we can combine cards throughout Magic's history in creative ways to create powerful synergies. Some of my personal favorites are Bribery, Agent of Treachery, Mind's Dilation and Treachery. Still, many of these cards aren't theft, strictly speaking, since they make use of cards outside of our opponents' hand and board state resources, so it doesn't bring as much hate as, say, Sen Triplets that directly impose on the others' ability to play their game plan.

Steal your opponents tribal commander along with reanimating some of their creatures to stage your own parody of their deck. Steal their Kamahl, Fist of Krosa, some of their Forests, someone's Chromatic Lantern and beat them over the noggin with their own animated Forests (based on a true story). Show the world that you can't play Erebos, God of the Dead in your lifegain deck, because you'd rather not bring that effect to the table when it completely hoses your own deck.

If you like handing back 15 cards to your opponents after the game, this deck is for you. Do note that if you knock someone out, Eternalized creature copies of their cards don't vanish.

Game plan

Early game: Ramp and fill the graveyards. There is some synergy with getting cheap creatures out in the form of value equipments (e.g. Looter il-Kor + Sword of the Animist

Mid game: Maybe board wipe and play Scarab God to start reanimating some value while not going down in card advantage.

Late game: Win with creature beats. We have lots of fliers and with enough 4/4s and Scarab God drain effects we tend to get there.

Possible includes

Vizier of the Scorpion - Make our 4/4s able to get through easier and block extra scary threats. Kind of rare to see cases where we can't double block a big non-evasive threat and have to rely on Deathtouch, though. Small zombies have no real use in this deck apart from some Scry and incidental life drain, which makes it arguably too low impact. Baleful Strix cantrips and does a similar job defensively.

Eternal Skylord - Similar to Vizier of the Scorpion, it improves our Eternalized creatures, but a significant portion of them will already have flying. It's a very expensive investment at 5 MV and reanimating it is not very impressive either. To give ALL of our creatures Flying, we can loot Wonder or Entomb it as a surprise.
