This is my competitive Kess commander, using the 1x1 MTGO old list used in small stores tournaments. The goal of the deck is to: 1. sculpt your hand using cantrips; 2. disrupt your opponent using discard spells, remove and counters; 3. Once the game is controlled, cast Kess; 4. get massive card advantage recasting all the cantrips, discard and remove from the graveyard; 5. Normally, they scoop before you win, but the win condition is hitting with Kess or the ultimate of Jace or Chandra.

I doubt if my current list is the best 99, so I added a lot of cards in the Maybeboard. Please, comment if you think that I should add or swamp a card. Thank you for your collaboration!
