Jank Historic deck that focuses on using Mystic Reflection, Tend the Pests, Mercurial Transformation and Skeletal Swarming to close out games. The ideal game plan is to get out Skeletal Swarming, turn it into a creature with Mercurial Transformation, target it with Mystic Reflection and finally cast Tend the Pests to get multiple token copies of Skeletal Swarming for the following turn. In the event that doesn't happen however, the deck still generates some pretty good value.

Mystic Reflection + Tend the Pests or Mystic Reflection + any sort of effect that puts multiple creature tokens into play is a neat effect because it allows you to not only make a bunch of copies of your best creatures, but your opponent's as well or make your opponents enter considerably less valuable creatures. And Mercurial Transformation is some neat tech that allows you to use the combo to get access to noncreature, nonland permanent copies.

The deck is not very competitive due to the amount of things needing to go right, but when it does...

Prosperous Innkeeper and Shambling Ghast + Deadly Dispute help us ramp out our copies of Skeletal Swarming

Daemogoth Titan and Bloodline Pretender are our Tend the Pests payoffs.

Cram Session, Eyetwitch and Poet's Quill are our learn cards; still iffy on the ratio.

Maskwood Nexus can help with token generation but more importantly makes all of our other creatures into Skeletons; works well with the 11 pests Daemogoth Titan can generate.

Deck could be better with some more tinkering, especially in the mana base, but it's pretty neat in Magical Christmas Land.
