Work in progress...

My meta is basically creature heavy semi-competitive, so this deck is tuned for this type meta. (well still tuning)

Synergy/combos

The power of Inalla rests in her ability to both duplicate mage triggers and function as a combo piece while safely residing in the command zone. My strategy is simple, make a swarm of mages to either swing for lethal with haste, or if something makes attacking not possible, to use that swarm with Inalla's 2nd ability to reduce all opponents life to zero.

Combos:

• Bloodline Necromancer + Ashnod's Altar / Phyrexian Altar + Inalla = Bloodline swarm with haste
• Dualcaster Mage + Ghostly Flicker + Inalla = Dualcaster swarm with haste
• Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame / Heat Shimmer = Dualcaster swarm with haste (does not require Inalla)
• Archaeomancer (or similar recursion mage) + Peregrine Drake + Ghostly Flicker + Inalla = mana + Mage swarm with haste
• Wanderwine Prophets + Inalla = extra turns

All combos work with Inalla in the command zone, she is not required to be in play.

Tutors

(arranged by mana cost)

Diabolic Intent - finds anything (use on mage copies)

Muddle the Mixture - finds 17 cards, including Terminate , Animate Dead , Apprentice Necromancer , Twinflame

Dimir Machinations - finds 13 cards, including Dualcaster Mage , Ghostly Flicker , Ashnod's Altar , Toxic Deluge

Drift of Phantasms - see above

Perplex - see above

Vedalken AEthermage - finds combo pieces Dualcaster Mage , Bloodline Necromancer , Archaeomancer

Spellseeker - finds 18 cards, including Entomb , Reanimate , By Force , Twinflame

Brainspoil - finds combo pieces Peregrine Drake , Bloodline Necromancer , Izzet Chronarch , Salvager of Secrets

If all else fails...

If for some reason, my combo pieces are exiled or I can no longer combo out, the last contingency is to try to cast Dire Fleet Ravager with Inalla's trigger in hopes to beat down the remaining players. If double triggered, it will usually cut all players life in half (well -1/3 -(1/3) math), and gives me a haste 4/4 with menace, so I have one last chance to punch someone in the face. (probably that guy who exiled my combo pieces)

Notable excludes (cuts)

Scrivener - though it works with most of my combo's, it can not return sorcery spells.

Rhystic Study - this deck runs too fast to waste 3 mana on a "possible" card draw, when most of my tutors cost 3 or less.
