Deck overview

This deck is a mono-blue spellslinger and combo deck helmed by Orvar, the All-Form. The strategy focuses on using cheap instant and sorcery targeting spells to duplicate lands, mana rocks, and high-value creatures with enter-the-battlefield abilities. Early turns prioritize ramping with artifacts and fixing land drops, followed by deploying Orvar on Turn 4 with open mana to immediately generate token copies. Mid-game turns leverage card-draw engines like Archmage Emeritus, Mulldrifter, and Aether Channeler to draw deep into the library while disrupting opposing threats with a dense suite of counterspells and bounce interaction. The primary victory condition is an infinite mana and flicker loop utilizing Ghostly Flicker, Peregrine Drake, and Archaeomancer, allowing the deck to bounce every opposing permanent back to hand and swing for lethal damage with an insurmountable token army on the following turn.
