Kefnet uses its knowledge to control the board and pull the victory to its side. Behold Kefnet's trial of knowledge !

Kefnet's ability does several things: - copy instant/sorcery and cast it in instant speed(even the copy itself is a sorcery) - reduce the copy by 2 generic mana

The ability can happen once each turn which means if you get to draw a instant/sorcery during other players' turn you get to play the copy!

So to exploit this ability, one need to - able to draw card at other players' turn; - manipulate the top library to make sure it is an instant/sorcery - have enough mana to cast the copy

Thus the deck is built around card draw + top library manipulation + instant/sorcery(bounce, theft, extra turn) to create value. Besides, this deck runs Docent of Perfection  , Talrand, Sky Summoner and Metallurgic Summonings to create token for both offence and defence usage.

The main win con is: - draw cards + Psychosis Crawler - tokens + extra turn spell - omniscience + mystic speculation to put any card on top of library - omniscience + capsize to shutdown otherplayers' board - Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur to shutdown otherplayers' hand
