* This deck no longer exists. I converted it into Brudiclad, Spell Engineer EDH *

Small scale, high speed aggro Talrand deck.

That's the plan, anyway. Heh. Hopefully most of the cards won't be too expensive.

The objective is to have a lot of cheap cantrip spells if possible. Hopefully, they won't be slowtrips- the idea is I can spam spells at different rates depending on the game state (cast more later in the game, etc). A lot of "digging" spells will be handy to do this.

For the purposes of this deck, a "cantrip" is any spell that at least replaces itself. That means cards like Inspiration are cantrips, though that wouldn't be the usual use of the term (they'd probably be referred to as "draw power" or such).

There's an infinite combo:
Ghostly Flicker + Gilded Lotus + Archaeomancer = Infinite ETBs/LTBs and storm count; with Talrand it generates infinite drake tokens.
