A deck based on copying spells (your opponents’ spells too!) and combat tricks for lethal swings. It also includes a scattering of burn and scry cards for the control and utility they offer.

Scry pairs with Eligeth, Crossroads Augur , Keranos, God of Storms , Melek, Izzet Paragon , and God-Eternal Kefnet to enable some ridiculous card advantage or to get in a few free hits.

This deck list has several infinite combos in it but my play group doesn't like them, so I focus on efficient casting. Casting Harrow with a tapped Kalamax, the Stormsire can result in a net gain of 3 lands by itself, or 5 if you choose to copy it again.

I chose to include Keranos, God of Storms , Klothys, God of Destiny , Thassa, God of the Sea , and Xenagos, God of Revels for how well their abilities fit the theme of the deck, and view activating them as creatures entirely as a bonus.

Combat tricks: Kalamax needs to be tapped to activate his copy ability, so we want to swing with him every time if possible. I typically skip my pre-combat main phase, attack (he is now tapped), and can use a spell like Colossal Might to give him trample and +9/+5 if the defender tries anything crazy. Throw in an Unleash Fury and you just swung for 26 commander damage with trample for 4 mana.

I am open to suggestions for alternate cards and improvements to the overall flow of the deck. Please let me know what you think!
