Game plan and how to win

This deck casts many blue instants and sorceries. Your commander is Talrand, Sky Summoner. Each time you cast an instant or sorcery, Talrand makes a 2/2 flying Drake token. The Drakes are your main way to win.

In the first turns:

  • Play Sol Ring, Karfell Harbinger or Replicating Ring for extra mana.
  • Use Strategic Planning and Behold the Multiverse to find good cards.
  • Play Talrand, Sky Summoner on turn 4 or 5.
  • After Talrand is on the battlefield, cast instants on each opponent's turn.

Keep mana open on the opponents' turns. Then you can counter a spell or make a Drake at the end of the turn. Use Saw It Coming, Dissipate and Syncopate on spells that are dangerous to you.

Use Ravenform, Curse of the Swine and Run Ashore on the largest threats. Depart the Realm and Mist Raven return a permanent to its owner's hand.

Mulldrifter, Sea Gate Oracle and Inspired Sphinx give you more cards. Diluvian Primordial lets you cast instants and sorceries from opponents' graveyards. Each one makes a Drake.

You win when your Drakes and other flyers attack. Save counterspells to protect Talrand, Sky Summoner. If Talrand dies, cast it again from the command zone.
