This deck started out originally as a top-decking Intet, the Dreamer, but somehow slid towards a spell-fueled midrange deck, using copying mechanics to get the most out of a hodgepodge of creature and spell effects. On its best days, it works brilliantly, and on its worst, stalls immediately out of the gate. Using complimentary effects, but not having a clear direction, is a double edged sword that cuts both ways. Its hard to defend against the deck, because its so hurky-jerky and difficult to predict. But when the mechanics don't congeal just right, the deck goes no where. I'm sort of happy with that style of gameplay, but also open to suggestions.
