Hey Mitch! this is the perfect deck for Biovisionary. Biovisionary is a Human Wizard 2 / 3 for UG1. At the beginning of the end step, if you control four or more creatures named Biovisionary, you win the game. it is literally 23 cents on tcgplayer and you can't tell me it any more misarable play experience than tidespout/terassadon getting rid of lands. it is perfect in the deck.

Hey Mitch, I noticed a possible combo that exists with cards that are already in this deck if you just add the card Archaeomancer. If Peregrine Drake, Archaeomancer, Riku and 5 lands are in play: 1. Cast Quasiduplicate/Fated Infatuation/Cackling Counterpart/Repudiate targeting Archaeomancer 2. Use Riku's ability to copy the Quasiduplicate, targeting Peregrine Drake 3. Resolve the copied Quasiduplicate, making a token of Peregrine Drake and untapping 5 lands 4. Resolve the original Quasiduplicate, making a token of Archaeomancer and returning it to your hand 5. You now have 5 untapped lands and a Quasiduplicate to recast and copy 6. Rinse and repeat Archaeomancer is also just a pretty good value card, so this seems like an easy slot in!

I've just got to point out Channeled Force, which becomes an absurd piece of value when copied. If you can discard at least three cards, you're drawing six and killing something significant. If you can discard 5+, you're pretty much set. (Granted, it's better in Kalamax, but I've never been disappointed when I cast it). Inscription of Abundance is similarly amazing to copy.

Since you're running Risen Reef, you might want to run Jace, Wielder of Mysteries (as a reasonable upgrade, since he's just under $4?). Cloning Risen Reef and making copies of it grow the number of draws exponentially. Jace WoM provides a random I win the game effect out of nowhere. (Laboratory Maniac/Thassa's Oracle also work, and you can clone Oracle if it's ever relevant to get multiple triggers with growing devotion.)

Hey Mitch, what if you were to use a higher budget (IDK, $200?) and build a decent EDH deck for a given legendary, with the catch being you either use EDHREC's least common archetype for that commander, or one that ISN'T listed for that commander. IDK just a thought for some creativity. Case in point, I have on Moxfield a fairly powerful (I think maybe a 6/10 for casual EDH) Riku of Two Reflections Landfall deck (if it seems expensive, keep in mind that it is mostly full-art lands, alternate art, Mystical Archives and foils). [Look for "Temur Landfall-Final Version." That is the one.] Without much trying, this deck TERRIFIES my close friend, who builds better (and more expensive) decks than I ever could. It has even won a few games with him. The scheme of the deck is a powerful landfall/ramp deck that works just fine without Riku; if you can get some more value out of him, have at it. Burn, mill, or mass token wipeout are common strategies for this deck, although it isn't above a Lab Man self-decking win. I somehow managed to keep it within about $150, even with expensive cards like Aesi, Roil Elemental, and Ancient Greenwarden, and every basic being exclusively full arts (I cracked quite a few ZNR draft boosters :/), and most of the ZNR cards as alt-arts. I also had a TSR Lab Man from earlier deckbuilding. The point being, think outside the text box a bit. You never know what awesome decks you might make.
