Hall of Mirrors (EDH / Commander) [Revisão 10]

Make as many reflections as possible. A cheap deck (paper under $50, MTGO under 10 Tix) intended to have fun, not to be competitive.

• Copy/Clone (Goal: 8)
  • Copy is more efficient than cloning.
  • Bouncing and reflecting Alirios cost at least 4. If copying cost more than 4 without some other benefit, it is not worth it.
  • Copying has the added benefit of being able to send Alirios back to the command zone if we have no other options and can cast him next turn.
• Flicker (Goal: 4)
  • If less than 4, more efficient than bouncing.
  • Potentially less risky since it is like a bounce and cast all in one.
  • No potential for defense though.
  • Any single use costing more than 2 may not be as valuable as a bounce.
• Bounce (Goal: 16)
  • 1: Bounces Alirios or defense
  • 2: Bounces Alirios and defense
  • 3: Bounces Alirios or defense, plus draw
  • 3: Bounces Alirios or defense, plus a creature
  • Anything costing more than 3 becomes difficult to cast Alirios that same turn. This is basically a lost turn (unless we get a hefty creature with the bounce).
• Pump (Goal: 8)
  • 3-4 mana to create a 3/2 token each turn is not a battle of attrition we are going to win
  • Adding a 4/2 or 4/3 each turn (retroactively as well) gives us a bit of a chance.
  • Combined with defensive bouncing, gives us a fighting chance on the defensive end of combat to dissuade aggressive acts whilst we reflect.
• End Game (Goal: 8)
  • If we've survived this long, go all in.
  • Make a grand, ridiculous play, that's likely to be stopped, but spectacular if pulled off.
  • If we can eliminate one player or survive to be the last to be eliminated, that's a win.
• :Draw (Goal: 8)
  • Avoid wasted turns spending all mana to draw a lot of cards that can't be played (because we ran out of mana).
  • The goal is to interact with Alirios and create a reflection at least once per turn and set up the next interaction for the next turn.
  • We'll need 3-4 mana on any turn to reflect.
  • Any draw spell over 3 mana probably doesn't fit.
  • Draw spells should draw 2-3 cards.
• Mana Rocks (Goal: 8)
  • Mono Blue with many easy casting costs requirements (mostly single U, including Alirios).
  • Pick colorless options if more efficent.
  • Enters tapped may not be important. Just set up for next turn as long as we played Alirios (check this is true).
  • 2-3 cost for 1 or 4 cost for 2?
  • Rocks or Dorks?
• Recycle (Goal: 3)
  • Prefer permanents to spells, since they are cheaper and may be harder to counter when actually used.
