Talrand gives you wiiiings!

Obviously what we're looking to do with this deck is casting a TON of instants/sorceries to trigger the ability of our Commander, Talrand, Sky Summoner, thus creating a TON of 2/2 flying Drakes. Seems straightforward enough!

This deck only runs a grand-total of 6 creature spells, one of which is Talrand, so really just 5. These include Grand Architect (whose primary role is that of a Lord to boost our Drakes), Kefnet the Mindful, Docent of Perfection   (great synergy with our strategy here), and Stormtide Leviathan (a great way to shut down opponents!).

Let's move onto our non-creature spells, as these are the deck's bread and butter. Most of these consist of spells that either provide card advantage (Ponder, Preordain, Opt, Hieroglyphic Illumination, Pull from Tomorrow), or allow you to control the tempo of the game (Unsummon, Boomerang, Dissipation Field, AEtherize, Counterspell, Syncopate, and Archmage's Charm) - both of which are super helpful, as they lend you the fuel, time, and protection you'll need in order to build up your fleet of Drakes...and being that these are all instants/sorceries, they all help with this by simply being cast in the first place!

Protection for Talrand himself has also been included, such as Mask of Avacyn, Ring of Evos Isle, and Curator's Ward.

Ways to shut down opponent's threatening creatures can also be found, cards like Ichthyomorphosis, Imprisoned in the Moon, Rapid Hybridization, and Reality Shift.

If played patiently and efficiently, this deck will have you soaring all the way to victory!!!
