Deck Style: Hand Size.

Flavor: Clones ♥.

Primary Win Con: Lab Man.

Alt Win Cons: Psychosis Crawler, Massive material advantage.

Strategy: Combine "Draw cards = to greatest power..." + Creatures that grow in power based on handsize/drawing cards. Clones to re-trigger Zegana, copy ETB creatures, and copy opponents' threats.

Subthemes: Land tutors + utility lands. Counterspell creatures + Flash + Clones. Free spells.

Key Cards:

• Dream Halls
• Force of Will
• Mind Over Matter
• Reliquary Tower

Handicap: No creature tutors. Not only do they take the fun out of the deck, but tutoring for combo pieces undermines the strategy of drawing huge chunks of your deck.

Individual Card Notes:

• Puca's Mischief: What to do with ETB creatures that sit around doing nothing... Trade them to your opponents and then keep cloning them anyway!
• Ice-Fang Coatl: There's no 2-drop creature I'd rather clone. Worth running snow lands for that alone.
• Abundance: What's better than drawing dozens of cards? Drawing dozens of spells. Doubles as a safety-valve in case Lab Man fails.
• Allosaurus Rider: Can't let you draw your whole deck, but can get the engine going on low-power mode when you're in a bind. Good with Puca's Mischief.
• Berserk: Out of the many ways I could double power and give trample, being a back-up removal spell in a deck that doesn't like board wipes is important.
• The Great Aurora: Quite effective when you have half your deck in your hand. Should win you the game.
• Pir & Toothy: Very functional backup commanders. Toothy is useful enough as a high power creature in the Zegana deck. Oneirophage would be more useful in that slot, but having a backup commander pair for variety is worth the sacrifice.
