Deck Primer / Description

This deck is built around using Elminsters passive to cast large spells like extra turns and crazy creatures. A few combos of note in this deck is using elminsters -3 on a card thats high cost early game such as Ancient Stone Idol or Aminatou's Augury to get a large amount of faerie dragon creature tokens. Then later using as much scry as possibe and trying to get the passive scry from cards like Jace's Sanctum, Jace, Mirror Mage, and Sphinx of Foresight so you get around the 1 card limit on Elminsters passive to cast Mass Polymorph and get most, if not all of your creatures out. You can also use multiple turns to gain a lead with land economy and extra combats. Another minor combo is Fog Bank and Entangler to make a creature able to defend your entire side if your careful. There's also a lot of Proliferate to get your commander and other planeswalkers to higher loyalty counter totals and alot of Planeswalker defense like Onakke Oathkeeper and Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentors passive. The main thing you need for this deck is to have your commander out as soon and as long as possible.

Then the rest of the deck is small single scry, some lantern, counterspells, removal, card draw and some creature specfic removal/avoidence. and Combat Calligrapher because its a funny card and makes everyone else slowly lose while it doesnt effect me.
