Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a chaos/group-hug theft deck helmed by Ian Malcolm, Chaotician, built around one central loop: force everyone to draw extra cards, then use Ian's second-draw trigger to exile cards from the top of libraries and play them with rainbow mana. The deck leans on a deep group-draw suite - Howling Mine, Kami of the Crescent Moon, Dictate of Kruphix, Temple Bell, Fevered Visions - and pairs it with a dense theft/chaos package: Reins of Power, Gilded Drake, Cultural Exchange, Confusion in the Ranks, and Perplexing Chimera turn the table's own permanents into your win. Primary finishes are an exponential Homunculus Horde token swarm amplified by Krang, the All-Powerful, a Reins of Power heist on a developed board, or a Karn Liberated restart that keeps only your exiled permanents. It is a high-variance, opponent-dependent deck that looks harmless until it controls half the battlefield.
