So tap, tap, tap away to your heart's content. The primary goal of this deck is to abuse Intruder Alarm + Stonybrook Schoolmaster to make infinite Merfolk Wizard tokens. You can also go infinite with Intruder Alarm + Lullmage Mentor once there are 7 merfolk on the field - infinite countering of every spell anyone casts, and one more merfolk to untap them every time.

You need some way to repeatedly tap the Schoolmaster: try Drowner of Secrets, Benthicore or Aphetto Grifter . Aphetto Grifter clears the field for your attack, & Drowner combos out with infinite mill. And Benthicore gets REALLY shrouded while you make infinite merfolk wizards. Lullmage Mentor will get you 7 activations (and a spell countered). Azami, Lady of Scrolls will get you quite a few activations, but only use that combo if you have Laboratory Maniac on the field. Use Nameless One and Eidolon of Countless Battles to attack for big damage. Once you have a lot of blue creatures, you can tap them to Grand Architect for Whetwheel or Everflowing Chalice (or Inkwell Leviathan. or Contagion Engine. or to cast things you snatch with Thada Adel, Acquisitor). Contagion Engine & Whetwheel go infinite if Grand Architect & Aphetto Alchemist (& Intruder Alarm & Stonybrook Schoolmaster) are on the field. If Judge of Currents is on the field, you have inifinite life.

To keep your creatures from dying in case of elesh norn or such, we've got buffs like Door of Destinies, Spear of Heliod, Cathars' Crusade, Paragon of Gathering Mists, Sage of Fables & Grand Architect. The creatures can all be copied with Stolen Identity ciphered onto your commander.

Since this is a combo deck, I've included several tutors, including Drift of Phantasms to pull any one of the 3 combo pieces (they all have CMC 3), Plea for Guidance to grab Intruder Alarm & something else of your choice, and Vedalken AEthermage, which can be used to tutor for any wizard in the deck. Archmage Ascension is great if you're playing against group hug or Selvala, Explorer Returned.
