Pretty much the point here is to copy things while adding some coin flipping and coin manipulation into the mix. If you manage to get a second copy of Krark's Thumb it shouldn't be too hard to manage at least a KillCon off of it, but if ya can't get that, then some Mana cards and HandSize cards should allow you to cast a bunch of things, ideally Draws, copy them, and then finish it preferably with something like Praetor's Consul or just any given good Storm card.

Not much in terms of defense, so be sure to steal from whoever has the best creatures if ya got that, or just make some copies of them. Multiple Kruphix aren't that great, but hey, if ya got Mirror Gallery and no better targets, may as well make a ton of Indestructible Gods.

While most of the spells don't cost too much, it can be very beneficial to bring down the costs on things like Praetor's Consul, hence the 4 or 5 Reduction guys.
