Revisions after playtesting —Sept. 4, 2018

Made some changes after playtesting the deck. Added: Thaumatic Compass  Flip / Outpost Siege / Endless Atlas thus increasing ramp and draw.

Removed: The former back-up of the deck, because with the dramatic (pun intended) lack of tutors, it was very unreliable - Dramatic Reversal / Isochron Scepter / Grapeshot

An overall great deck, but some of the counterspells are lacking. Try running Counterspell, Arcane Denial, Counterflux and/or Muddle the Mixture. Also, you can include spaces in your custom categories by using underscores (Ex. 1x Mirage Mirror #Jack_Of_All_Trades)

@SenseiRamen Thanks for the suggestions I'll ask around in my playgroup for them :)

Some cheaper ways of getting (better) tokens: Cackling Counterpart (with Flashback), Dance of Many (annoying upkeep cost, though), Rite of Replication (always flashy), Tempt with Reflections, Precursor Golem could get out of hand.

Just a few fun suggestions for the clone theme!

@ecmmyers Thanks for the suggestions :). I started playing commander last year (due to the vampire deck <3 Edgar Markov) and I've heard of the tempt cycle, but wasn't familiar with Tempt with Reflections. I like Cackling Counterpart and Rite of Replication, which has been on and off my "to acquire" radar for awhile. However I'm not a fan of Precursor Golem. The 3/3 tokens do seem nice but can't be compared to the high-rolls I'm trying to achieve with the deck such as copied Doom Engine. If targeted with the mentioned above clone spells he's much better but as of now I think the card has much better home in something like a Zada, Hedron Grinder deck.

Personally, I run a Zada deck as well, and I always found Precursor to be a little too expensive in the list, as well as a very efficient removal target. For that reason i haven't added him there. It was Brudiclad's ability to overwrite the golem tokens that I liked about him here.
