Fun Anhelo deck with a lot of copy spells and such.

A main point of this deck, and one that could probably be expanded upon, are the spells like reverberate and twincast. Copying your opponents spells to get massive advantages. Also, if you have Anhelo and Storm-Kiln artist out, a single creature to sacrifice to Casualty, and one of twincast, reverberate, fork, or narset’s reversal, you can go infinite on treasure tokens.

Another fun interaction I’ve found for the deck is Narset’s Reversal. If you casualty 2 a Narset’s Reversal, you have the copy come in, targeting the original Narset’s Reversal. That will resolve and you get to put your Narset’s Reversal back into your hand and make another copy which you can then use to target the spell you want to counter and copy

I tried to sculpt the deck to pretty much be played at instant speed so your opponents never really know what you have up your sleeve. You can just pass as soon as it gets to your turn and play the game reactively. Trying to outwit your opponents, try to make it where they don’t know the true extent of your board state. With Vedalken Orrery and Leyline of Anticipation, it just allows you to truly live at instant speed, so then everyone’s turn is really just your turn.

HEY IF ANYONE HAS RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT I WANT TO HAVE A BETTER POOL OF CARDS FOR PEOPLE TO CHOOSE FROM. And i definitely just caught a big one I missed originally in Emergence Zone.

Update: 5/26/2022 I just went in and changed back the Underground Sea and Mox Diamond to make the decklist more understandably priced, obviously if you have better lands or artifacts, go ahead and run those, but if not, the commander’s sphere and just another island should work fine. I also did add Emergence Zone to the list because honestly it should’ve already been there.
