Any tips for this Volrath copy / clone deck?

Volrath, the Deckstealer

I've never built a pure copy / clone deck before so it's hard to playtest and know whether it's working well or not.

My playgroup kind of frowns on too many permanent stealing effects so I wanted to stick to more clones and things that steal from their libraries.

I'd like to keep the overall budget around where it's at right now but open to reasonable suggestions

The deck is lacking a win condition of its own. I get that you're trying to keep the list as copy-oriented as possible, however without an out of its own, the list will struggle.

Right now I just threw in Forgotten Ancient as it is not only a great creature to have multiple copies, but it also has synergy with Volrath. Can you think of any other cards that would be good win conditions but also have synergy with the deck itself?

unfortunately it's a bit difficult to stay on theme with the whole clone/copy thing, but I would use something like Bramblesnap + Blighted Agent as a finisher personally (comes down to whether you're ok with infect wins).

I would also recommend maknig space for Dark Impostor (can be dumb with Volrath) and Generous Patron (good way of getting counters on stuff and drawing cards).
