What could be better than playing your deck at instant speed? Nothing is, it was a rhetorical question. I don't know why, but one day I had this crazy idea to build a deck solely based around "Flash" and playing at instant speed. So, I hopped on Gatherer and did a quick search to find potential commanders that had flash, Surrak Dragonclaw was the one that really jumped out at me. He has flash himself, and as a bonus he also makes it so my creatures can't be countered! Looks like it's time to pull out some big creatures that would normally get countered cough Eldrazi cough.

Basically you want to play your deck at instant speed, only occasionally playing stuff during your main phases. The main stuff you play main phase is basically big bombs like Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Altered Ego (LOL I just copied your best creature, and made it bigger!), Progenitor Mimic (I'm gonna copy that awesome creature, then again and again and again). You also want to just get value from your flash creatures, Crafty Cutpurse is a fun example. Although, I don't really know how well this deck will do (or if it will even win), but it will sure be a funny deck to pilot anyway.

Hope you like the deck! Comments, suggestions, and upvotes are encouraged.
