Introduction

Disciple of Deceit is one of most powerful PDH generals. Having ability to tutor about any card ("transmute" here, if being correct) is priceless in multiplayer commander, because you can adopt to any game situation. In my game group I won with this deck against normal EDH generals like Zur, Ezuri and Animar.
Making this deck I keeping principles of competitive commander, to win fast as you can. Its easy to earn, if you started with 2 combo pieces in hand and need only one more.
Fastest combo here is High Tide + Wind Zendikon + Freed from the Real +(any infinity profit card like Capsize ) can be shown at turn 4!

List of all combos you can see under spoiler below.

Early game (1-5 turn)

• Cast and tap Disciple of Deceit as fast as can
• 25% of games this cards will give you "transmute" at turn 3 already: Mothdust Changeling , Springleaf Drum , Lotus Petal , Hidden Strings
• With strong opponents, first Im "transmuting" in Rhystic Study , because its OP
• I don't need a lot of mana to win, so this deck have light colored ramp

Mid game (6+ turns)

• You win here
• Use Feldon's Cane to put Rhystic Study back and "transmute" into again, if opponents was smart enough to kill it
• Protect Disciple of Deceit : Blessing of Leeches , Vanishing
• If she died, bring her back and tap in same turn with lands Holdout Settlement or Survivors' Encampment
• Exhume can reanimate your key combo creatures like Peregrine Drake , no matter what opponents reanimating if you win.

Tips and tricks

• Use Viridian Longbow on Pili-Pala to hate creature-based decks
• Nightscape Familiar big helps because deck is 75% of blue
• Trinket Mage can search Seat of the Synod and Vault of Whispers
• Pili-Pala + Retraction Helix : ": bounce nonland permanent" (its pauper Cyclonic Rift !)

Weaknesses

• Usually i die against whole table, if everyone of 4 opponents attacking me each turn with their 2/2 bears , because i won two previous matches. In this case ramp first, then trying to save our life with Crypt Rats each turn.
• This deck have few card advantage spells, so if your OP card or weird fish was destroyed, will be hard to restore hand. Beware of random discard like Skull Rend .

Combos

1. Peregrine Drake / Cloud of Faeries + Ghostly Flicker + Archaeomancer / Mnemonic Wall

Infinite , for Bloodrite Invoker / Capsize , infinite Cast triggers for Temporal Fissure . Cloud of Faeries works if you have Dimir Aqueduct / High Tide / Nightscape Familiar .
