Inalla, Archmage Ritualist is all about making copies of wizards, but she works particularly well with wizards that have enter the battlefield effects. While there are a lot of great wizards with EtB effects, there just aren't that many that make me really want to copy their abilities. I want to copy great EtB effects like Grave Titan or Diluvian Primordial . Unfortunately, Inalla can't copy them because they are not wizards. Fortunately, I'm pretty sure that we can MAKE them wizards. Since Inalla allows us to play Grixis, we can play cards like Conspiracy and Xenograft, which turns all our creatures into wizards (There has also been an Ixalan spoiler of another card that does the same thing, so we might have another card that does the same thing soon). While Conspiracy makes all our creatures wizards wherever they are, Xenograft only makes our creatures into wizards while they are on the battlefield, which is (as far as I know) just long enough for our creatures to pass "Inalla's Entrance Exam" and trigger her eminence ability (If I'm wrong about Xenograft, I'd like to know). We can copy even more creatures and EtB triggers with Panharmonicon and Flameshadow Conjuring. If we have all of these cards out (including Inalla) I believe it is possible to make the EtB ability of a creature happen up to 10 times (it might only be 8, someone smarter than I am can probably say for sure) and make 4 tokens of that creature that have haste. The idea of this decks is to out value our opponents with our crazy EtB stuff and have fun with EtB shenanigans. This is just the idea. I have some ideas for cards to go into the deck, but I am inexperienced with building decks by myself, so any suggestions would REALLY be appreciated, especially with balancing the mana base, as that is something I struggle with as a newer player. Anyways, let me know what you think!
