Standard Fires of Invention absurdity with a new twist.

Everquill Phoenix can mutate onto a Risen Reef or Thunderkin Awakener to create a feather token that subverts the 2-spell limitation for Fires of Invention. This enables you to finish an opponent by reviving your Phoenixes during their end step, playing Vivien to activate her -2, then playing Illuna to drag out a free Cavalier of Flames, which gives your entire board haste and buffs over multiple bodies (Illuna, Cavalier and any revived phoenixes).

As usual for a Fires deck with Fae of Wishes, the sideboard has every conceivable solution across all colors, as well as an alternate win condition (Jace) for if you go long and end up burning through your entire deck.
