This deck is meant to be silly and fun and different every time. It has a lot of copying stuff and a few coin flips tossed in for good measure.

One of this deck's primary focuses is to get Krark's Thumb out. Only Fabricate or Tezzeret the Seeker will tutor for it, but there's a lot of card draw too.

Once I get the thumb, I throw down Fiery Gambit and use all my copies like Twincast, Reiterate, Increasing Vengeance, and Reverberate. This usually nets you at least one 3 coin flips heads, with which you basically get a new turn with tons more cards.

Card interactions:

Deadeye Navigator + Archaeomancer / Mnemonic Wall / Izzet Chronarch 2 mana to get back spells back from graveyard!

Deadeye Navigator + Duplicant lets you remove creatures for two mana, pretty dumb once you get it rolling.

Sensei's Divining Top / Scroll Rack / Brainstorm / Mystical Tutor + Melek, Izzet Paragon these are kinda obvious, just put cool things on top so melek can copy.

Rite of Replication + Archaeomancer or one of the other two, this lets you get five spells if you kick it, and you can get rite back as one of them!

Side note: Drain Power is so freaking good. It almost always gives at least 6 mana total, sometimes more. If you are playing blue it is a good way to tap them out so you don't get countered, or it works as good counter-bait in that way too.

CRAPPY WIN CONS:

Krark's Thumb + Game of Chaos when you throw this down the table knows they are in for a treat. Using this and having it work feels so great.

Blatant Thievery + Radiate this one might be a bit too mean but I'll have to wait and see.

Radiate + Rite of Replication or in rare cases Heat Shimmer. This one doesn't always mean you win but a lot of times it does.

Ignite Memories + Mystic Speculation this one is really not great but I have pulled it out before.

I used to have infinite turns as a win con but my play group legit hates extra turn spells so I took them out to be friendly.

Please leave me a comment on what you think! I'd love feedback on cards to add that would be fun!
