Like other Sakashima-Decks I try to clone and copy stuff from my opponents.

- A short story why I build the deck -

We are a small group of magic player. After we discover the commander format everyone started to build one commander deck. I was one of them, but I wanted to build a deck to rule them all. So the meta became very fast very competitive. We run some tournament where you first played 1on1 than pentagramm and the final was two headed giant. So you need a deck, which was good in every format.

It was a good time, but than came Derevi, Empyrial Tactician. I thought everybody wanted to build a deck around her, but noone did. So one day with the help of a good friend I build the deck. At that time I won most of my matches. People hated Derevi, Empyrial Tactician and stoped playing 1 vs 1 with me. Pentagramm was also more 4 vs me. At this point I realised, that I needed a new deck.

I wanted a deck, that was only as powerfull as the one from my opponent. I ask some advice from a very good magic player and after some brainstorming this Sakashima the Impostor deck was born.

I made some restictions for myself to not overtune this deck. So I made shure to include most of the clones, which are available. To make shure to be able to clone every card type and to restict the number of counterspells. There are still some power cards like Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Mana Drain or Vedalken Shackles to keep up with the rest.

The deck isn't build to win every match. I want to have fun. I like to build mono color decks and blue is my favorite color in magic. Someone said, that it was the coolest Mono-Blue Deck he ever played. This makes me even happier than winning a game.

So I hope you like it.

- Some expirience -

After a punch of testing in pentagram (we don't like free for all) I have to say, that this didn't let me down a single match.

39 Lands is really nice to bearly ever missing a land drop. High Market is really nice. It offers some kind of lifegain and is especially powerfull with Vedalken Shackles. Vesuva was more like a gimmick, but if your are able to copy some powerfull lands like Academy Ruins, it can win you the game. I also like the idea, that I can copy everything even lands.

Sakashima the Impostor really shines if 3 other player playing big creatures. You also can have 2 legendary creatues of the same type, because Sakashima the Impostor special rule.
