The goal of this deck is to cast Fractured Identity on Form of the Squirrel.

The problem is, once you resolve a Form of the Squirrel, you can't cast spells. So you need to do some shenanigans in order to make it work. See https://imgur.com/a/jnxIc for a handy guide.

In order to make it really work, you ideally need a way of stopping your opponents from killing you while you have a squirrel in play, so for that you have Grand Abolisher and Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir.

The basic game plan is to turtle while you dig for Conflux or a tutor to find it for you. Then get Ramos, Dragon Engine into play. Cast Conflux, which puts 5 counters on Ramos. Fetch Leyline of Anticipation as blue, Fractured Identity as white, Increasing Vengeance as Red, Form of the Squirrel as Green, and whatever you want for black (Usually another tutor so you can grab anything else you might need to protect your combo). Take the counters off Ramos and use mana the play your combo.

There are a lot of redundancies built in using different colors, so if one of the pieces hits the graveyard, you can still fetch a different one. Unfortunately, there is only one Form of the Squirrel, so if that goes away, you will need to shuffle it back into your library with Time Reversal or Commit / Memory and start digging for your combo again.

Have fun!
