I think you may have a hard time with this deck, but that's just because I'm inclined to think counter-magic is hard to execute in multiplayer games.

Some cards that might help you get the job done, though:

Commandeer , Acquire , Beguiler of Wills , Body Double , Counterspell , Declaration of Naught , Spellskite , Mind Control , Confiscate , Telemin Performance , Duplicant

oooo, Spellskite could be fun... I am not trying to play counters very hard, nor am I trying to yoink permanents. The idea is for fun over effectiveness and never winning on my own terms.

Gather Specimens , Bribery , Treachery , Blatant Thievery , Sakashima the Impostor , card:Sakashima's Student, Gilded Drake and Volition Reins would all be fun additions.

I have deck:sakashima-the-imposter in there already, and I had considered card:Sakashima's Student, but once again I must reiterate that I don't want any "take control of" effects, just clone and copy effects. Callous Oppressor is the exception because it's so funny.

Misdirection ?

You know, I really want a Misdirection , but it's $10! Actively looking for trades but until then I'll keep it as a maybe. Thanks for the input!

Rewind is a fun card heck it pays for itself! or try Discombobulate

Dude.. that's uncanny. I was just about to make a deck like this.

But umm... you have multiples of cards. I'm not sure if that's a computer error, but I'm seeing lots of 2 copies. You also have 144 cards.

yeah what going on with the multiples?

Yeah I looked at some of your other EDH decks; deck:some-enchanted-evening-sigarda-edh and Doran, the Siege Tower EDH both have multiples.

Maybe its a computer malfunction or maybe you don't know EDH rules properly. The latter seems less likely as all your other EDH decks are standard legal.

I'm afriad everyone else is right; according to the cards you've input here, you have multiple copies of non-basic land cards. If this is really an EDH deck that you're aiming to make, you'll have to fix that.

For the Archivist, I would suggest replacing one with card:Jace's Archivist. It gets you a lot of draw, forces everyone else to draw, and you can ping multiple people for all of those cards you just drew. I'd also highly recommend Sol Ring , Lightning Greaves , and Howling Mine . The Ring is just good in general, the greaves can be used to protect your general practically for free, and the mine just makes it easy to ping other players without having to tap your general.

Chill guys; I use the 2x marker to symbolize a card that I have and the 1x to symbolize cards I've yet to acquire in non-proxy form, the deck is EDH legal ; )

Psychosis Crawler works well with Mindmoil and card:Teferi's Puzzle Box

Well it's hard to critique a deck whose first concern isn't winning the game. I guess I'll just toss out some words!

Something you might try: Trinket Mage , Dizzy Spell and appropriate package like Pithing Needle , maybe Ivory Tower , Library of Leng . They both also fetch a bunch of cards already in the deck. Like sol ring...

Why smelt over, say, vandalblast?

You could also try building around "make my hand size as big as possible" with something like Bulwark as a win condition. Jushi Apprentice is pretty hilarious too, and Inner Fire is just about the goofiest infinite mana combo with Reiterate. You just need, uh, 7 cards in hand not including the pieces and ten mana to get it rolling!

Also Recurring Insight seems pretty crazy here.

Oh also Mystic Remora is usually an auto-include for blue EDH decks, dunno if you purposely excluded it

Hmmmm, some interesting suggestions! Smelt is here because the deck really loves instant speed, but Vandalblast is something I'd love to include. I want to take out Mindmoil for something, maybe that's it.

I actually hadn't even thought of Mystic Remora , that's just mean! I think I have enough draw power though, so I'd prefer to replace a draw card worse than it for that one. Maybe Archivist ? Same issue with Recurring Insight .

Eh, I dunno about Bulwark , life gain in EDH without a Test of Endurance effect?

Dizzy Spell seems interesting; it let's me search out both artifact and creature removal, not to mention Sol Ring etc., I'll look into switching it in (if only transmute wasn't a sorcery!)

Jesus, Inner Fire , that's just so dumb, haha, I love it. Thanks for all the suggestions!

What do you mean about Bulwark and life gain?

Switching out archivist for remora sounds like a great idea. If you're also trying to make space for recurring insight, it seems a lot better than library of lat-nam, unless you're keeping that card for the sheer goofiness.

oops, meant Ivory Tower , sorry.

Haha, Library of Lat-Nam is in there for the goofiness, but also because it's the only blue tutor that I know about. If I were to include Recurring Insight library would be a good switch, I agree.

If you have a chance, please check out some of my other EDH decks. You seem like an amicable person who has a good feel for the format.

I think the deck should be called: "The Niv-Tatorship" as in Dictatorship.... Hope this satisfies!

"Quit Hitting Yourself"

Heh. I throw my vote in for landgrafb's suggestion.

I thought I would take a look before recommending a name, but now that I see "Niv-tatorship" I can't think of anything myself. :P It gets my vote.

This looks like it is better suited toward bigger games, which I enjoy. This embraces the unique, capricious bitch that is variance: your Reverberate effects are only as good as the spells they're copying, but in a big group game you're going to get Tutors, removal, ramp and other delicious tidbits. I might steal this from you. This is the kind of deck I want to play in a game with five or more players. Turtle, turtle, durdle, Durdle the Turtle, oh look I won. Outstanding work.

That's really sweet of you, thanks! I hope that, some day, you too will know the joy of casting Radiate targeting Capsize with a Spellskite on the field to bounce all permanents you don't control (all thanks to the 6 Sol Ring s that you got with Stolen Identity and Copy Artifact ) <3
