Use tapping and controlling enchantments to neutralize enemy creatures and build up devotion, and get through with Callaphe for the 21 commander damage.

Top interactions are Control Magic-type cards with Infiltrator's Magemark. Show and Tell made the cut because you are highly likely to see a couple of big boys enter the battlefield, and you pick the best one to steal.

Most cards here have or more in the mana cost, so they should boost Callaphe by quite a bit.

Several cards let you play Control Magic at instant speed, including Leyline of Anticipation, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, and Rootwater Shaman. This is especially useful when you have As Foretold, essentially allowing you to play those enchantments for free at instant speed on your opponents' turns, or get a free Callaphe after a wrath.

This is new, so upvotes and comments are welcome! I would love to get some suggestions!
