If you could only cast one spell, which three would you cast? This is the goal of the deck; to cast multiple epic spells at the same time. I have been brewing this deck for a while and it still needs more testing, but i am very satisfied.

The early game for this deck is the same as any other. Ramp into your mid to late game and get some set-up. Cards like Hive Mind and Vedalken Orrery are great since they let you abuse the Epic mechanic. Hive mind forces everyone else to have no spells, while orrery lets you put more than one on the stack before they resolve. To get those epic spells to your hand, there are Mystical Tutor and Personal Tutor. I also included Twincast and Insidious Will to copy them while they are on the stack. This lets me have 2 instances of Enduring Ideal, which is brought up to 4 with the help of Paradox Haze, and 6 with Copy Enchantment

The main reason I chose Derevi, Empyrial Tactician as the commander is that I can use his ability to bring him into play from the command zone at instant speed, which gets over the drawback of the epic spells. The other cards that have similar interactions have to be on the board before the epics resolve, but are still very valuable. Cards such as Elvish Piper and Quicksilver Amulet let me get out creatures from my hand similar to derevi. Mimic Vat is also extremely useful, as it helps against spot removal once i have any creatures. You can use Hibernation's End to get out some creatures later, but it is a bit slow.

The best epic card to cast (and the one the deck built around the most) is Enduring Ideal there are a lot of good interactions that let this deck function as a bant enchantress deck if someone takes away all your other options. Some simple combos are:
Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity
Decree of Silence + Solemnity
Greater Auramancy + Privileged Position

Finally the lands were a big part of deck construction as well, since casting has nothing to do with land. Ever. (Except for Alchemist's Refuge). I made sure all the lands were caredully chosen. I wont go into detail due to sheer volume, but most of them have utility outside of just making mana like Celestial Colonnade and Halimar Depths.

Let me know what you think of the deck. I will answer any questions you might have about it. Also, feel free to leave suggestions. I want to make this a ruthless jank deck, so any help is appreciated.
