Deck overview

This deck is a mono-blue spellslinger combo-control deck centered on Orvar, the All-Form. The strategy leverages Orvar's unique triggered ability to duplicate permanents whenever an instant or sorcery spell targets them. Early turns focus on establishing land drops and deploying cost reducers or cantrips. By Turn 4, Orvar enters the battlefield and immediately begins copying lands, mana sources, or utility creatures using low-cost targeting spells like Twiddle, Dream's Grip, and Shore Up. In the mid-game, the deck draws extensively through Archmage Emeritus, Mulldrifter, and Aether Channeler while holding open efficient interaction such as Swan Song and Counterspell. The primary win condition is assembled around Turn 6 via an infinite flicker loop with Peregrine Drake, Archaeomancer, and Ghostly Flicker. This loop generates infinite mana and infinite tokens, culminating in an immediate win through recursive Sublime Epiphany forced draws or infinite Capsize bounce locks.
