Zevlor, Elturel Exile is the 'mmander

The idea of this fun/nasty whacky deck is to get Zevlor, Elturel Exile out asap, draw cards real fast using Zevlor's ability + cheap opponent-targeting cantrips like; Gitaxian Probe or Portent or Timely Interference, THEN use this lovely card advantage to hopefully cast some stuff to mess with our opponents. Zevlor makes kill spells really useful by allowing you to pay an extra 2 and copying it for each opponent, but more so, Zevvy makes mill hyper-efficient with spells such as Traumatize.

One solid way to win would be trying to mill + out value + keep your opponent's heads down with removal, just try to make sure you don't become archenemy doing so!

The other best way to win is to set up the Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank infinite mill/life loss combo. I myself am not a great fan of infinites, so may end up removing this, but tbh, if I've got duskmantle guildmage and zevlor out, if I've got 10 mana I could just activate their abilities and traumatize all of my opponents simultaneously.

Other things to note are that magecraft synergies like Storm-Kiln Artist and Archmage Emeritus go pretty hard seeing as Zevvy copies the spells you cast. Other-other thing is to note the big wacky drops like the wonderfully cruel Worst Fears, where if you have 10 mana total you get to play a whole round, lmao.

Notes:

Mizzix, Neera could be good combo pieces so lots of recursion could be good.

one idea could be mutating zevvy so its not legendary, then copying it to use its ability more.

One idea is to have lots of card drawing crantrips, which target 1 person/thing, and therefore let me draw 3 cards. This could mean that I'll never miss a land drop, and therefore, Ghirapur Orrery might be a good include, however one downside to it would be that my opponents get to draw more on their draw steps if I force lots of discard, that being said, they would be churning through their decks faster.

possible card to order not necessarily in english: skyclave relic storm kiln artist

NOTE: STILL NEED TO INCLUDE/PLAN/THINK ABOUT THE RAMP CARDS WHICH ARENT MANA ROCKS, SINCE THERES ALREAD 14 MANA ROCKS

finally make that grixis theivery deck I've been thinkkng about for a while.

combos: Peer into the Abyss + Windfall

funny/cool/harsh cards: - Mana Vapors - Exhaustion - Worst Fears
