The primary lines of play here involve the Demonic Consultation + Laboratory Maniac instant win, Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame infinite dudes, and Intuition for Notion Thief + Reanimate + Winds of Change .

Dramatic Scepter Combo in the sideboard as I don't think I have enough mana rocks to support the combo, nor do I have Copy Artifact as a finisher.

This is my first REAL attempt at a cEDH list. I think it is around the Mid-High power tier range.

I come from a primarily casual perspective; avoid combos, mass land destruction, and hard stax. For a very long time I have been restricting myself to all-foil decks, which automatically cuts out many older cards and some newer ones that don't have a foil printing. The end goal of all of my decks was to have fun, play some spicy jank, and show off pretty foils.

That ends now.

As a restriction on budget, I am still not willing to buy "cheap" cards if the foil versions of those cards are <$100 as I will eventually foil them. Some cards are sort of stand-ins for more expensive cards that I will upgrade to in the future. Also, I am unwilling to acquire ABUR duals because they are downright ugly as sin (Just say no to white border) or expensive as piss. I may be willing to proxy them with fancy custom proxies.

Some cards are absolutely out of budget, barring a surprise reprint: Wheel of Fortune Timetwister Yawgmoth's Will (Still salty about trading this away years ago) Copy Artifact Mana Crypt Mox Diamond Mox Opal
