Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy combo build designed around a custom Prepare mechanic, led by Codie, Ravenous Codex. The primary strategy focuses on deploying Codie on Turn 3, followed by prepared creatures such as Skycoach Conductor // All Aboard and Goblin Glasswright // Craft with Pride on Turn 4. Codie doubles every prepared spell cast from these creatures. By casting All Aboard to flicker both creatures simultaneously, the deck generates infinite Treasure mana through duplicated Craft with Pride casts. It then loops Emeritus of Ideation // Ancestral Recall to force all three opponents to draw their entire libraries in a single turn. The deck supports this plan with a dense suite of 10 cheap ramp pieces, 6 efficient counterspells, and an independent backup line via Emiel the Blessed and Blazing Firesinger // Seething Song.
