Guardian project doesn't work in this deck, you copy the creature spell, so the token enters first, project only works with nontokens, then the original creature enters, and the project doesn't trigger because it sees the token with the same name

Eldrazi's mostly copy when cast.. so that Oblivion Sower shouldn't work. However, Nest Invader triggers on entering and is 2/2 body and a one shot 0/1 sac for a colorless mana dork. With Volo Nest Invader is 4 creatures with one spell!!

great deck! I have a Volo deck myself, but more oriented to stealing stuff. My additions are mind flayer (horror), souvenir snatcher as second bird (the other one being BoP), phyrexian metamorph, callous oppressor (cephallid), Merfolk skydiver (merfolk rogue ; steal 2 sol rings or mana crypts for 3-2 mana :P ) Keiga, Perplexing chimera, and other shapeshifters. What's great about Volo is that you really can just swap the finishers when you get bored, and it works perfectly fine, really making him a "guide to monsters" As for the draw, I am surprised you didn't mention elemental bond. I think it is a must. It goes on curve to draw from your volo, and then it also triggers on tokens. Also, since volo is a wizard, Wizard's retort can be a second counterspell :) . Similarly, "Of one mind" becomes a draw 2 for 1 mana. Another neat trick that I found was using "wild shape", since it allows you to protect AND change creature type. And it costs pennies. Loved the Rhonas "3rd from the top" trick. It has never occurred to me to sac the original and use it repeatedly.

@Tom Scut, I love stealing stuff, but I think players get a little too salty when it happens so I don't go too hard in that direction, but if your play group is up for it, then by all means go for it. Yeah, I wished I put a card like Elemental Bond in the deck instead of Guardian Project, but I sometimes forget about it. It seems like you got a good understanding of the ins and outs of the deck. Thanks for the insight!

I feel like you are missing out on some really powerful synergies here. Mindflayer let's you snag creatures. This gets stupid broken when you combine it with eskia's chariot. So every turn you get to steal another creature. Another really good combo is icebreaker kraken and serpent of the yawning depths. Make 2 8/8's and 2 6/6's that can't be blocked. Or more if you copy them with eskia's chariot. Icebraker kraken has a bonus that you can bounce and replay him fairly easily. You definitely want to run snow lands with it though.. Also nyxbloom ancient is a must for tripling your mana (or rather mana x9). In conjunction with cards like stonecoil snake and ochre jelly you can pretty easily get a 100/100 creature that gets doubled. Stonecoil serpent has reach and ocher jelly gets trample.

Honestly overall there are some cards that are worth having duplicates for and people over-restrict themselves with Volo, obviously it's good to get as many copies as possible but you don't have to copy *every* creature and Volo is going to get targeted so even with all unique types you're still not going to copy everything most likely.

your wrong about that spark double trigger. spark double enters the battlefield as a copy of the creature but while its being cast its still an illusion so you do copy it. than after the volo triger both of the sparkdoubles enter and become a copy of something on the battlefield.
