Deck overview

This deck is a Simic creature-type manipulation and token swarm strategy helmed by Gor Muldrak, Amphinologist. The game plan revolves around exploiting Gor Muldrak's static ability, which gives you and all permanents you control protection from Salamanders. By using low-cost type-shifting effects such as Imagecrafter, Amoeboid Changeling, and Unnatural Selection, you can turn opposing creatures into Salamanders, completely blanking incoming attacks and targeting abilities. Meanwhile, non-legendary clones like Spark Double, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, and Irenicus's Vile Duplication multiply Gor Muldrak to flood the board with 4/3 Salamander Warrior tokens on your end steps. Because your creatures ignore opposing Salamanders, your token army attacks through blockers with ease. The deck closes out games around Turn 6 to 7 by pumping the swarm with Overwhelming Stampede or Coat of Arms, or by stealing the entire board with Standardize and Peer Pressure.
