STEP RIGHT UP AND JOIN INALLA'S FUN TIME WIZARD CARNIVAL

Only Wizards allowed though. Except for Joe . He's always fun at the party.

This deck is what happens when I didn't want any of the other C17 decks, decided Wizards were cool, bought the deck, realized Pre-Con Wizards were shit, and had to replace close to half the deck. Seriously. Pre-Con was shit. Absolute shit. THERE WASN'T EVEN A HAND SIZE INCREASER. NO THOUGHT VESSEL AND NO RELIQUARY TOWER. I WAS MIFFED.

So I did what any reasonable person does and blew close to $100 on cards for this deck. Took it to a tournament the next weekend and earned back $26 of it in packs. WURF.

UPDATE 1/1/2025: Happy New Year! I took a break from about 2018 until late 2024 and almost quit playing altogether. I've updated my decklist today but here is the previous list, in case you want to see the evolution. As I've gotten back into playing, I've really fallen in love again with the janky combos I created and have even added a few more intense win-con combos.

WIN A PRIZE AT THE CARNIVAL (Win-Cons)

So you want to win with the wizards huh? Easy! There's a couple ways I built into this deck to do it honestly and I've used 2/3 so far.

Infinite Turns, Infinite Plans Show

Infinite Dualcaster Mages Walk Into A Bar, or Infinite Token Overrun Show

Edit

So i've been considering getting Cryptic Gateway and Sundial of the Infinite cause the shenanigans that this allows for is absolutely ridiculous. Gonna explain a few quick scenarios so that way this hopefully makes sense.

Cryptic Gateway to HELL

As you can see Cryptic Gateway allows for tapping and playing creatures. Lots of fun with this deck. You could cheat out the infinite turn combo by around turn 5 (assuming you draw 1 land in the first four turns) with the perfect opening hand like this:

**Opening Hand:** 3 basic lands to pay for creature, Sol Ring, Goblin Electromancer or Baral, Chief of Compliance or Harbinger of the Tides, Wanderwine Prophets, Cryptic Gateway.
**Turn 1:**Play land, cast Sol Ring.
**Turn 2:**Play basic land, durdle if you've drawn anything good. In the event you manage to draw a Sundial, this is the turn to do it.
**Turn 3:**Play basic land, cast Cryptic Gateway for 5
**Turn 4:**Play basic land, Tap 2 lands and pay for creature, pay 1 to make copy. Tap both copies of creature to cheat out Wanderwine Prophets. Pay 1 to make copy, Champion original, Move to Combat with the Copy, If attack succeeds, sac the copy, pay 1 to make copy again, move to end step, copy fizzles, pay 1 again to make new copy that lasts into next turn and then go infinite. In the event you got Sundial and played it, you can also pay 1 to end the turn instead of going to end step and it has the same effect.

Sundial of the Infinite

It was pretty well covered in the last section how useful this card is for your infinite combo shenanigans. However, theres a much larger implication with this card. Cast something like Goblin Electromancer and make a copy of it and end your turn with Sundial. Surprise, your instants and sorceries now cost 2 less. Two Docent of Perfection ^Flip's isn't a bad thing either. Two Fatespinner's. Imagine the abilities you could create. It's extremely situational but example of how this card can absolutely break games and be a stax piece honestly. I was test playing it against my [Zombie Deck](http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/31-07-17-zombie-pile/) and had the weirdest stuff happen. I had Sundial and Intruder Alarm on the battlefield already, and I played Puppeteer Clique and copied it. I took Lich Lord of Unx and Gravespawn Sovereign from the graveyard and made 3 tokens with Lich Lord. Tapped the five of them and took every single creature out of both graveyards and suddenly had a field of about 20 creatures. Making copies of any wizards along the way. **SUNDIAL IS GOD**
