Riku EDH deck. The main goal of the deck is to simply out-value your opponent using cards like Arbiter of the Ideal and Lurking Predators in order to get bigger creatures out for free, making it much easier to copy using Riku. Also included some rebound spells, so next upkeep you just have to pay RU for double the spell!

This deck has a small theme of stealing your opponents spells, abusing cards like Mindclaw Shaman to steal the spells you want from other opponents.

How do we win though?

• Biovisionary + Any Clone (usually Altered Ego to be safe) Just use Riku's ability on both and you've got the four you need to win, other options include using Panharmonicon or Rite of Replication

• Rite of Replication on one of our high CMC creatures is usually enough to put us in a game winning position.

• Finally we can use our infinite combo using Worldgorger Dragon with Riku's copy ability, stacking the triggers so we always get the original dragon entering with Riku, getting infinite mana in the process. With infinite mana we can play out our opponents spells in hand with Planeswalker's Mischief or use Deadeye Navigator with Riku and one of our beaters to get infinite tokens, with cards like Inferno Titan or Frost Titan that's a guaranteed win!

I know that I could easily make this a combo deck with cards like Palinchron or Kiki-Jiki, Mirrorbreaker but I'm trying to stay away from obvious combos like that, these are more just to wrap the game up if it drags too much.
