An attempt to tone down classic CVT lists to play in a more casual meta by stripping out the Stax/tax elements while retaining the key combo plays.

Infinite Mana

There are several routes to infinite mana in the deck, with the most obvious being The Chain Veil + Teferi, Temporal Archmage + mana rocks netting 5+ mana. Other than that we can get to infinite via;

1. Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + mana rocks netting 3+ mana

2. Paradox Engine + Chain Veil + Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir + mana rocks netting 5+ mana

3. Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth

4. Grand Architect + Pili-Pala

Winning Combos

These are the game-enders when infinite mana is achieved.

1. Teferi, Temporal Archmage + The Chain Veil + Ugin, the Spirit Dragon = infinite Lightning Bolt s

2. Stroke of Genius = mills out a single opponent

3. Stroke of Genius / Blue Sun's Zenith / Pull from Tomorrow + Laboratory Maniac = draw entire library, win from Lab Man trigger
