I wanted to play faerie tribal, but that's a bad idea. Now I want to overwhelm with faeries/rogues but sticking with the fae as best I can without relying on mill or discard. Definitely want to abuse 's ability to tutor, just need some control aspects of . Really want to manufacture a situation where I've literally drawn my entire deck, swarm faeries, and overwhelm. Lab-man as an alt win condition, wouldn't mind running another win condition or two though.

A lot of the fae have really nice ETB effects, cloning or blinking them seems to be the go-to though I'm not certain the best way to do either. I'm certain there's a better commander for this, it just needs to be and preferably a built-in blink other.

Right now, the theme is 'no maximum hand size' and drawing as much as possible in attempt to manufacture a situation where I can swarm the board with fae through cards such as Omniscience . I'd like to abuse 's tutoring power to get to cards like Enter the Infinite while utilizing 's control to keep me in the clear from disruption. After drawing the whole deck, drop Omniscience and swarm. If something goes catastrophically wrong, hopefully Elixir of Immortality can reset me or Laboratory Maniac can save me. Open to better recovery options.

Blinking Faerie Harbinger tutors all the fae I could need, need to decide on an source to cast them all... Really no idea what I'm doing here, just want to overwhelm with faeries without abusing their usual Mill/Discard mechanics.
