Deck overview

This deck leverages Codie, Ravenous Codex as a spell-duplication engine for creatures with the prepare mechanic. By deploying low-cost prepare creatures, the deck casts high-impact copied spells that Codie duplicates automatically, generating massive bursts of card draw, ramp, and removal. Synergistic payoffs such as Kykar, Wind's Fury, Monastery Mentor, Longshot, Rebel Bowman, and Nico Minoru, Runaway convert these non-hand spell casts into flying armies, prowess monk swarms, and direct damage across all opponents. Displacer Kitten acts as a premier value engine, blinking prepare creatures so they re-enter prepared and ready to cast again. Backed by efficient spot removal, cost reducers like Doc Aurlock, Grizzled Genius, and defensive tools like Perch Protection, the deck rapidly builds an overwhelming board presence by Turn 5 and closes the game on Turn 6.
