This is a budget Zur the Enchanter Wizards-tribal EDH built around Mask of the Mimic . Sounds pretty great right? It is.

Step 1: Attack with Zur. This is the most difficult step since he draws so much hate because other dumb players abuse him to make thousand dollar unfun game-locking piles of bullcrap. We have Lightning Greaves and a deck full of counterspells for him to swing once. It doesn't matter if he dies, we only need him for Archmage Ascension .

Step 2: Cast all the draw spells in the world. Draw into more draw and then draw again.

Step 3: With six counters on Archmage Ascension , tutor up Spy Kit and attach it to literally anybody.

Step 4: If necessary, ruin the game for your opponents with Cornered Market , Sever the Bloodline , Detention Sphere, Echoing Truth, Evil Twin, or Winnow .

Step 5: Mask of the Mimic and Retraced Image into your choice of creatures.

Step 6: Rinse, repeat with Conjurer's Bauble, Quest for Ancient Secrets, or Elixir of Immortality.


What to abuse with Mask of the Mimic + Spy Kit :

Combo protection:
Aegis Angel will make Archmage Ascension damn near impossible to get rid of, and Draining Whelk can stop anything I particularly don't like. Butcher of Malakir, Phyrexian Ingester, Evil Twin will get rid of any ugly little dude that looks at me funny. Kederekt Leviathan is there in case of emergencies, unfortunately resetting Archmage Ascension . But, Devout Chaplain and a deck full of counter spells means there probably isn't much of anything that can stop the combo anyway.

Disgusting garbage:
Guile and Sepulchral Primordial mean I do get to play with broken, ridiculously expensive cards without ever having to pay for them. Peregrine Drake for one mana, yes please. That's an infinite combo with Deadeye Navigator, who also happens to be just generally nuts in this deck.

Primary win condition:
Serra Avatar + Xathrid Demon . Magister Sphinx is there for backup if things get funky.
