Win Conditions

Dramatic Reversal and Isochron Scepter and any mana rocks that together create 3 or more mana + Thrasios, Triton Hero 's ability to draw your deck and find Walking Ballista to kill all opponents.

Demonic Consultation to exile your whole library + Jace, Wielder of Mysteries +1 ability to draw on an empty library and win.

Cantrips

• Gitaxian Probe
• Ponder
• Preordain
• Serum Visions
• Sleight of Hand
• Thought Scour
• Opt
• Anticipate
• Impulse

Cantrips help us to increase our card velocity and sculpt our hands in the early game. The instant speed ones allow us to do things with our mana on other players turns after holding up counter magic. Dig Through Time , Treasure Cruise and Windfall are our larger impact and later game draw spells to refill our hand. Mystic Remora is just an amazing source of card advantage at any point in the game.

Tutors

• Demonic Tutor
• Diabolic Intent
• Diabolic Tutor
• Dark Petition
• Lim-Dul's Vault
• Mystical Tutor
• Merchant Scroll
• Muddle the Mixture
• Fabricate
• Whir of Invention

Tutors help to find our win conditions or a counterspell/removal spell in a pinch. Diabolic Intent can be slightly awkward with our lack of creatures in the deck, but our cheap commanders can turn it into a second copy of Diabolic Tutor . It is mostly a budget alternative to things like Vampiric Tutor or Imperial Seal .
