My first attempt at making a spellslinger-type deck. Really, I just found some cards with interesting effects and put them together with Melek, Izzet Paragon with the hope to copy them for maximum value. That being said, there are a few interactions to make sure that the top of my library stays relevant for casting spells like Galvanoth, Mystical Tutor and, to an extent, Keranos, God of Storms.

Other than that, we have spells that like to be copied. The primary win condition would be storming Ignite Memories as many times as necessary. Of course, this would need some mana. Ideally, infinite mana would fit this situation the best. For that, I only have one combo in here: Nivix Guildmage to copy Turnabout, but I am always looking for more as a backup.

Another idea is drawing a huge amount of cards for the win. To supplement this idea, I included Enter the Infinite and Laboratory Maniac. In the maybeboard I have included Master the Way too, but I am not sure if that would be consistent enough. Let me know what you think!

Finally, there are some cards to make things interactive for everyone else like Eye of the Storm and Plea for Power. Although the latter only really helps me.

Like I said earlier, this is my first attempt at a deck like this, so advise and suggestions are welcome.
