I recently compiled a (probably incomplete) list of magic cards that relate to optics, being lenses, mirrors, prisms, scopes, rays, light, color, etc. That list lives here for now. I decided that a themed EDH deck with Chromanticore at the helm would be an amazing idea, and that's what this draft is! Riku would be slightly more thematic, but given all the optics-themed color-fixing, and concentration of optics-themed cards in white and blue, I had to go with the 'core!

The light theme immediately lends itself to a few specific sub-themes: mana fixing, tokens, and copying.
