The plan is simple: a recursion deck as an excuse to play all these cool grixis (and some green) cards I own but do not use. The commander I will buy is codie, vociferous codex because it is all colours and fits the idea nicely. (for now I just made a random card my commander) The optimal course of the game is as follows: turn 1: gate or smth 2: thrill for possibility kinda cards to discard 6+ cost cards into graveyard, searching for recursion cards, spells and more big monsters to discard 3: codie 4: activate codie and play a 5 mana rise from the grave kinda card, get the 6+ cost card on the battlefield turn 4. 5+: discard big guys, return them all with recursion. This way I dont need to play permanents, and cycle quickly through my deck.

fun stuff: I own a role reversal copy, and I love giving people Codie also I will buy living end, remove all 1-cost spells, so every time I cast a 2-cost spell with Codie, I will play living end for free and return my whole graveyard to the battlefield. The 4 turn big guy strat is mostly to not die to aggro instantly, so the focus is on late game. I won't be buying any creatures probably, since the entire idea is to have an excuse to play cards like jin gataxias. Also lower cost cards arent playable with codie. p.s. slightly low on budget and for casual play. Any help with balancing is greatly appreciated! I hope this might inspire you! I own the cards in main, side are the ones I consider buying.
