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!

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.)

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.
