Deck overview

This is a five-color "bad gifts" donation deck built around squeezing a drawback permanent onto each opponent. The primary plan is to cast a card like Nine Lives, Demonic Pact, Transcendence, or Illusions of Grandeur, then transfer control to an opponent with Harmless Offering, Donate, Bazaar Trader or Zedruu the Greathearted. The deck also packs Jon Irenicus, Shattered One and codeword Blim, Comedic Genius to turn "gifts" into steady card advantage. The special thing is Codie, Vociferous Codex: his "You can't cast permanent spells" is so costly that the deck plays *around* him. The game plan works best with him never cast. The actual "win button" is Transcendence plus Fractured Identity: once your own life is below 20, casting Transcendence, then Fractured Identity on it, makes all opponents lose to its "when you have 20 or more life" trigger. Secondary finishes come from giving away scaling clocks.
