This budget commander deck utilizes Orvar, the All-Form's ability to copy our permanents to ramp massively and enable a combo finish.

The deck is built around cheap spells targeting our permanents, be they lands or creatures with powerful effects when entering the battlefield. Worth note is that a land that is copied by Orvar is not tapped by their ability, which makes it easy to chain several spells together since the new lands give us access to even more mana immediately. In the late game we look for ways to loop a spell while breaking parity on the exchange. We might be using Archaeomancer with High Tide and Snap to get infinite Archaeomancers, an etb untapped Mystic Sanctuary with Dream's Grip and Mind Games to generate infinite Sanctuaries, Shipwreck Dowser with Peregrin Drake and Ghostly Flicker to gain infinite mana and lands, or Venser, Shaper Savant with Panharmonicon and Peregrin Drake to generate inifinite land untaps.

The deck has many options to combo. However, the deck is slow of the ground and depending on the game there might not be enough time to set yourself up to protect your combo safely. On a budget we don't have access to the fast ramp, efficient tutors and free countermagic that makes the game plan truly reliable. So be prepared to have really big games where the deck is firing on cylinders you didn't even realize it ever had, and to have games where that really isn't the case and where you struggle to accomplish much of anything.

If all else fails, the deck is prepared to switch to plan B - here named Sillyness. This is where we just play around with Orvar's ability to make busted things happen. Will casting Resculpt on a Precursor Golem turn the game on it's head? Perhaps. Will having five Master of Waves in play win you the game? I mean, probably! The deck can do more than combo, and it is built to be playable by someone not knowing exactly how to pilot it. For just some good old fun!
