I typically try to build commander decks that do a bunch of stuff, and interact with the table in not terribly oppressive ways.

Unfortunately though, there are plenty of decks out there that just suck to play against. This is my response to those.

The only focus is not dying until going infinite with Niv + Curiosity, Ophidian Eye, Tandem Lookout or Mind Over Matter. Kozilek, Butcher of Truth gets discarded to reset the library.

This is executed by:

Drawing Cards Blue Sun's Zenith, Stroke of Genius, Brainstorm, Library of Lat-Nam , Invoke the Firemind, Mind Spring, Molten Psyche, Plea for Power , Recurring Insight, Windfall, Rhystic Study

Counterspells Counterspell, Negate, Dissolve , Pact of Negation, Muddle the Mixture

Extra Turns Temporal Mastery , Savor the Moment , Final Fortune, Time Warp, Ral Zarek

Board Control Charisma + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind , Blasphemous Act, Cyclonic Rift, Mizzium Mortars, Curse of the Swine, AEtherize

and ways to duplicate those spells Fork, Reiterate, Reverberate and Twincast
