The goal of the deck is simple: copy your opponents creatures, but deny them access to them.

---

Evil Twin : The simplest clone card for removing an opponent's creature, given that he comes with the ability to destroy the creature he is copying.

Clone + Eye of Singularity : Honestly, this works for Eye of Singularity and any cloning creature. It allows you to gain access to their creatures, while simultaneously destroying your opponent's.

Brago, King Eternal / Ghostly Flicker : Gives the possibility of changing what your clones are copying.

While I'm fairly happy with the key cards of the deck, I'm a bit wary as to either the numbers of them and/or some of the other removal/control spells. I like Heartless Summoning for the ability to play any of the Clones for 2cmc, but I'm unsure as to whether they are really worth it. Similarly, while at least one Eye of Singularity is needed for the deck to function, drawing any past the first makes for a dead draw 90% of the time.
Any feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't usually attempt control-y decks, and as such am not overly familiar with optimizing decks that are control-y in theme.
