This is one of my favorite decks, by far. This deck is all about looking at everyone's board state and seeing how best you can use the things your opponents have to your own ends. I very often use my opponents combo pieces against them, I've once out soul-sistered a soul-sister deck by having my life be triple theirs, I once also out milled a mill deck by having like 10 Ruin Crabs and making a Solemn Simulacrum every turn.

This deck centers around the idea that your opponents are going to play good things. That's not to say you don't have nice things to play as well, it just means that you're going to keep an eye on what's on the board and how it'll interact with anything else you have. You have two basic game plans:

Copy your opponents game plan and combos, while disrupting their plans at winning

Punch them in the face (with an army of dudes, not literally)

I've also added some sillier cards into the mix to give some variety to what you can do in this deck.

I'd like to end this with a list of notable exploits this deck has done.

  • One of the funniest things I've done is use Smuggler's Buggy to cast an Omniscience when I asked the person I attacked to please not block in a tone where I implied that that's all I was going to do, and it wasn't going to be that big of a deal. I think it was turn 3 or so and became the immediate target of the table for pulling some shit like that.
  • I once let everyone get a copy of a Dockside Extortionist that was an artifact, off of Tempt with Reflections and got 100+ treasures. I lost the next turn to an Urza, Lord High Artificer because I had a land on top of my deck and nothing in hand.
  • I was in a tough and weird spot where it made sense to cast Curse of Echoes on myself then played a bunch of copy spells on my stuff while everyone else had their commanders out so their spells fizzled, and Perplexing Tested everyone else off the board
  • Have you ever had 5 Caged Suns before?
  • Someone I was playing against managed to get a turn 5-ish (maybe turn 7) Blightsteel Colossus, and then I cloned it, and cast Tempt with Reflections, everybody had at least one.
  • Tempt with Reflections was used in a similar way on an Ancient Bronze Dragon
