Mysterio, Master of Illusion (High Bracket 2) (No GC/Tutors) by Chromedeception

Format: Commander

Commander: Mysterio, Master of Illusion

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-blue deck is built around **Mysterio, Master of Illusion**, but its real engine is a dense tribal-illusions / clone-spam package. The commander's ETB produces a single 3/3 Illusion token (it is the only nontoken Villain in the deck), making Mysterio a marginal body. The deck actually wins by deploying a critical mass of copy effects - **Orvar, the All-Form**, **Vesuvan Duplimancy**, **Extravagant Replication**, and **Reflections of Littjara** - to flood the board with copies of the best creatures it controls. **Lord of the Unreal** and **Roaming Throne** (naming Illusion) provide protection and trigger doubling. The primary win condition is combat damage, often sealed by **Coat of Arms** or **Akroma's Memorial** to make an evasive, oversized army. There are no compact combos; the deck relies on incremental value and out-scaling the table.
