This deck is a kalamax build that focuses on ramping out kalamax, then playing a copy spell and finishing your opponents with a fling effect having the last two copies of the copy spell targeting the fling effect to throw a very large dinosaur at your opponents. Packed the the brim with almost all instants this deck has answers for every situation, and draws to get there. I've been having a hard time putting a power level on this deck, i'd say its around an 8 close to a 9. I plan on improving the deck with better counter magic cedh staples to push it firmly into the 9 region yet I'm not sure if its capable to make this a full 10.

The combo is a infinte copy loop using your commander using one of

Reverberate Insidious will Expansion // explosion Increasing vengeance twincast wild ricochet reiterate fury storm

once cast while Kalamax is tapped the copy spell will be copied with the copied version target the original putting another copy onto the stack repeat this loop near infinite times with Kalamax gaining a +1/+1 counter each time the spell is copied. To end the loop you must have a legal instant or sorcery spell available on the stack.

As the second half of this combo you will need one of Fling thud gravitic punch kazuul's fury Chandra's ignition Ral, The storm conduit

usually having either archmage eterinus or storm-kiln artist will secure you the win as well

Fling effect's will end the game by killing all of opponents due to kalamax's near infinite power Ral the storm conduit will deal 1 damage to each opponent for each time a spell is copied thereby burring everyone out during the loop itself.

As a back up there are ways to ensure kalamax can get there through combat once grown to near infinite with Shadow rift, or by removing blockers with instants.

This decks main strength is being able to ramp, card select and draw hyper efficiently with the copied spells and having conterspells cast be twice as effective he definitely can swing above his weight class.

some upgrades for the deck include but are not limited to

spellseeker Mana drain swan song Manamorphose Visions from beyond Improved Mana base

theese cards have been left out due to my local LGS not having them availble or Price Have fun and Copy On
