The deckbuilding restrictions along both card types and CMC make for an interesting tension. For instance, hard casting Conqueror's Pledge, Increasing Devotion, or Spider Spawning, then freerolling the Mystic Reflection or Second Harvest that Codie gets.Īll of these ideas struck me as really cool and relatively wide open, but I hit plenty of roadblocks. and look to freeroll mid to high cmc spells for value.Ĥ) Find an A + B synergy of spell effects with a good spread along one particular CMC for effect A, then a bunch of the complementary B effect on spells with CMC less than that. Probably looking to combo out with some untap/mana generation shenanigan infinite.ģ) Focus on super expensive spells that can have dramatically reduced costs - such as Blasphemous Act, cards with delve, affinity, etc. Start slinging and have fun spinning the wheel.ġb) Go the opposite route and stuff every permanent that ramps into the list, get set up with a jillion mana and haste/protection, then cast Codie and an expensive instant/sorcery to effectively tutor up one of a very small number of non-permanents in the deck which have some game warping effect (turns, mass hand disruption, one sided board wipes, etc).Ģ) Find every untap effect in existence and try to activate Codie on each player's turn once you're set up - perhaps just spending the mana on activated abilities when there's nothing juicy to cast. I came up with a couple of basic deck ideas:ġa) Load up on lands and nothing else besides instants and sorceries. Anywho, I got to brainstorming how to build with the book in mind, and found it surprisingly challenging. Possibly because it's goofy, or five color, or screams "Johnny, come build a rube goldberg machine out of me!", or all of the above. Codie, Vociferous Codex has caught my eye the most out of any of the freshly spoiled Strixhaven legends.
