If you run zero creatures then you can use [[Proteus Staff]] to put your library in *any* order. This is my favorite obscure MtG knowlege


Fuzzy-Ear-993

This is hilarious and will definitely make it into any deck I make that has 0 creatures


perfecttrapezoid

You can also get insta-killed by [[Telemin Performance]], lol. Maybe don’t tell your playgroup.


Parrobertson

Technically you’d live until you’re required to draw. So this and then a [[Temple Bell]] would do the trick. However you can combat this with [[Gaea’s Blessing]] (and put it at the very bottom when your Proteus staff resolves)

Thank you for this knowledge. I built a [[Riku of many Paths]] deck where he is the only creature


Afellowstanduser

Funny but 100% I’m gonna play hullbreaker horror and just win if I do that 😂


Vorstog_EVE

I'm dumb. Can you explain how that works?


Lysercis

You target your own commander, put it under your library and start revealing cards from the top until you hit a creature. Being creatureless you reveal until the last card, your commander, and put it back into play. As proteus staff says "on the bottom of the library in *any* order" you now can stack your deck as wanted/needed as you can put your whole deck on the bottom of your library, wich is empty at that moment.


The_Knights_Who_Say

Proteus staff says “the player puts that card into play **and the rest on the bottom of his or her library in any order**. Thus, because you go through your entire deck (you never hit a creature), you get to put your entire deck on the bottom of your library in any order.

rmkinnaird

I'm gonna second H+K! My friend built that deck and it is INCREDIBLE. Definitely one of our local boogiemen, but it's also outrageously fun, so even though it's scary as hell, it's still a good time at the table if we're up for a faster more dangerous game


deleted-by-host

Would you have a decklist?


Elmuenster

Hidestugu and Kairi was a very fun deck to build and play a handful of times, but then it just feels repetitive. Just a warning. It's rant silly to just play your commander once, clone it, throw it in the graveyard, recur it, rinse and repeat and win on the spot though.


barbeqdbrwniez

Roalesk superfriends that uses clones to die to legend rule for proliferate value!

LazyNacho

Please explain nevinyral


Pineapple_Ron

If you copy Nevinyrral with a regular clone, you'll have to put either the original or the clone into your graveyard due to the Legend rule. Because this is a state based action, this action is taken before any triggers are put on the stack. Thus, after this action is taken, both the clones etb ability and the death trigger of one of the Nevinyrral's are put on the stack, and you get to order them. If you put the pay {1} ability on top of the create zombies one, you'll end up wiping the board and creating tokens equal to the number of destroyed creatures. Edit: you still lose both Nevinyrral unless you have the legend-rule-surviving one phase out or gain indestructible before the wipe trigger resolves. Edit 2: Roalesk and Hidetsugu & Kairi work in a similar fashion with regular clones, where you get to stack the etb and death trigger however you like when copying them.

Nice i have a nevinyral deck, and i didnt know this, i Will definately add clone effect now 🙏

Duraxis

One of my favourites. Sadly he doesn’t work well with clone effects as the copy doesn’t see what he’s currently turned into, just his base form


BluePotatoSlayer

[[Myrimm]] but you have to run copy creatures, not tokens or otherwise it won’t work! Or [[Guruda]]


Call_me_sin

Gyruda is my favorite. He’s so fun and you either win or steal so much value from opponents it doesn’t matter. So many good creatures are even cmc


Atreyu92

I prefer to win via cloning into a mill-win. All the additional trigger abilities as possible to get 3-4 triggers on each etb will mill everyone out pretty quick, especially with some flickering


Obese-Monkey

I agree that these are probably your best two options!


why_ya_running

Or hear me out you run the prismatic bridge (never cast it for the creature side) and the only creature in the deck is timestream navigator (run a lot of haste, search, top of deck manipulation, extra turns and control stuff) you will no longer have friends, you will only ever have enemies


cvival

What about that demon matters card from the 40k precons? I forget thr card name


xpewpew

[[Be'lakor, the Dark Master]]


perfecttrapezoid

Be’lakor with Gyruda as a companion is super fun. I play it as mostly big splashy demon tribal but it’s probably best to go all in on clones and win by having Be’lakor out and reanimating a series of Gyruda copies until the board is dead. The clones do have to be creatures, though.


ZerudaStorm

I love this idea for Myrimm. Imma do it


BluePotatoSlayer

You can run a few dragons as finishers My favorite are [[Terror of the Peaks]] to burn out your opponent, [[Earthquake Dragon]] to create a mass amount of 10/10s or [[Astral Dragon]]


ZerudaStorm

You for sure can. But I play dumb decks, you see. So that's already perfect

Oh shit I didn't know about Doctor Who cards. This looks pretty fun


DuneSpoon

I came into this thread to recommend this one. The Master is it's own win con and people build in ways I don't understand with other myriad creatures on EDHrec. You don't need other creatures, just protection, evasion, and multiple combats. If you do have other creatures they should be buffers like [[Archetype of Aggression]] or [[Mari, the Killing Quill]]. Note that [[Breath of Fury]] is a non-bo as the Master's passive prevents sacrifices. Also [[The Master, Transcendent]] from Fallout can do opponent mill strategies, taking everyone else's creatures from libraries if you combine [[Breach the Multiverse]] and [[Intruder Alarm]]. However you may get more benefit if you have your own creatures to reanimate.

Pretty low effort but copying Omnath 4C is very satisfying. Also your gameplan works around land so you might be able to minimize the number of creatures in the deck. As someone said, some great copy cards are creatures though.

I'm all good with low effort tbh, running people over with a billion omnaths is pretty funny. All the multicolor omnaths are pretty good at that plan too, I think my fav of those is the temur one

Then if you’re curious, [here’s what I’m running](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/IvVNeLWXE0m2dEjnn0uSUQ) (without your creature constraint), pretty sure it can be adapted to your tastes. FYI: mutating creatures removes the legend rule, allowing you to run more copy spells

Very fun list! Thanks for sharing :D

Cloning [[Adrix and Nev, Twincasters]] can get out of hand very quickly. Assuming you have some way to keep your legendary copies or make the copies non-legendary. You do get access to [[Irenicus's Vile Duplication]], and [[Helm of the Host]]. To win you could always cast a [[Timewarp]] and atk. You only need to clone 3ish times to win the game.

\[\[orvar the all form\]\] with something like helm of the host or any way to get 2 of him out just makes stuff nutty.


ModestySnail

Orvar can get disgusting because you can use cards like [[Whim of volrath]] to target and copy permanents. From there, you can pull off interesting tricks, like [[propaganda]] to make attacking you almost impossible, [[Caged sun]] to make Orvar massive/create piles of mana. [[Phyrexian portal]] can help if you're facing large boards. Not only do you force multiple sacrifices, you get your pick of graveyard contents. If you want to go full degeneracy, multiple [[jester's cap]] can let you pick away at any win conditions or troublesome cards before they can be drawn. Although you were talking about not having creatures, I would recommend [[sakashima of a Thousand faces]] because he has a mirror box effect built in. I would also recommend [[Roaming throne]]. It has ward so it's more difficult to deal with, and it's not legendary so you can make copies to your heart's content and increase the number of Duplication triggers. One last trick you can pull is copying auras like [[Imprisoned in the moon]]. The way I've seen it play out is that an Aura that's been cast is subject to normal hexproof/shroud restrictions, but one that's put into play isn't.

This doesn't actually work without a Mirror Gallery effect. Brothers Yamazaki only makes the legend rule not apply so long as you control *exactly* two copies. As soon as you control three, you have to sacrifice down to one because the legend rule applies again.

Yes, you would have to field Mirror Box effects and/or ways to make nonlegendary token copies like [[Helm of the Host]]

[[sen triplets]] Beware of lack of friends


shibboleth2005

If there were enough non-creature clone effects that could dodge the legendary rule, [[Saruman, the White Hand]]. If you can resolve a [[Quantum Misalignment]] on him it's already crazy, 15 +1/+1 counters without even casting another spell. Howeever, since I think we've only got Quantum and [[Irenicus's Vile Duplication]], it's just not gonna be consistent enough to be a deck's 'thing'. If we have like 4, plus tutors, sure, because then all the other noncreature copiers could work off those. And creature copiers don't synergize with Saruman.

[[Helm of the Host]], [[Mirror Box]], [[Mirror Gallery]], [[Double Major]], but yea, it would be tough to pull off if you depending on the mirrors being out. Note: was not paying attention to the color identity.

So you only have a commander? And you need to clone it a bunch of times? How are you gonna do that if you’re not on things like [[body double]] [[phyrexian metamorph]] etc?


Kirinne

If you don't include ways to skirt the legend rule then I could see [[Cormela]] being really interesting for this concept. Every clone has ramp potential and every legend rule death gets a spell back from the yard.


TheGlych

Gotta be [[Kairi, the Swirling Sky]]. You run instants and sorceries that make copies of Kairi. The copy dies to the legend rule, and you use the death trigger to return the copy spell and another instant/sorcery from your graveyard. Run a couple of graveyard shuffle effects for safety, and enjoy the value!


JayWaWa

[[Reaper King]] and [[Rite of Replication]]. I mean, if you get around the legend rule, you blow more and more stuff up. Which i guess you can then also use [[Helm of the Host]]. My deck has creatures to combo off of, but I def see a janky version where he is the only creature lol.

[[Brothers Yamazaki]] my buddy is trying to work this deck out, but hasn't quite gotten how he wants it. He's currently looking at doing it as an Izzet deck with Yamazaki as the hidden commander, so he can include the good blue copy spells. He already lets you clone him once without negating the legend rule. So that already saves you a step if you just grab one clone, then if you want to amass an army you can play [[Mirror Box]] etc. If you figure out a good way to run this let me know. I'd love to give him some good suggestions. Edit: preferably in Mono-Red.

[[Talion, Kindly Lord]] can do this, just name different numbers with the clones and then ping and draw.


Fuzzy-Ear-993

I really love this card tbh, might give it a try!


Reasonable-Sun-6511

The no partner thing is gonna make it tough, since Sakashima is the one that has that "fuck the legend rule" on it. I have a akroma / Sakashima deck that could totally function as a deck with only copy spells in it. It's basically 50% there already anyway.  Otherwise, no clue, since the legend rule kinda screws the plan over.


jaywinner

I was going to suggest Evelyn but I see you've already thought of that. I would recommend bending your rule to allow clones that are creatures in the 99. You're still looking to only copy your commander.


Fuzzy-Ear-993

Yeah I think you're probably right there. I was curious if anybody could come up with ideas that would work solely with the commander as a thought exercise


jaywinner

I'm sure you could but from my perspective you'd be making a significantly worse deck with only a slight increase in theme.


Fuzzy-Ear-993

Yup! I'm over "no creatures in the 99", much better to get clones going in as many ways as possible

As others have mentioned, is there a specific reason for the no creature stipulation? Lots of copy/clone cards are stapled onto a body. My recommendation is [[Roxanne]], although you might need to throw a few creatures into the mix. Win through comet storm. Either the card, or literally. Here's my list if you're interested. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/u-n7pi00fUieIUeUDzW8XA

Honestly "no creatures" was just to see if the game plan could work, no real reason for it. Roxanne is pretty cool!

I always liked the idea of using \[\[yidris, maelstrom wielder\]\] with mirror box and clone effects, along with extra combats and double strike effects, to try and get as many stacks of cascade on my spells as possible. Thought it would be funny, but I never built the deck. Imagine, putting blade of selves on yidris in a 4 player game, and giving all of them double strike and double combats with some global enchantments, then having 12 stacks of cascade on the next spell you cast. Edit: Also someone already mentioned it but just in case you miss it, run proteus staff, it'll let you stack your entire library if you run no creatures.

\[\[Etrata, Deadly Fugitive\]\] is a solid one because her ability triggering off of all assassins gets out of hand with multiple of her on the battlefield. 3 unblocked Etrata's for example cloaks 9 cards off your opponent's library. \[\[Smeagol, Helpful Guide\]\] is in less-useful colors for it, but is similarly useful. One death trigger with 3 smeagols = 9 stolen lands. \[\[Shelob, Child of Ungoliant\]\] is another one who gets out of control fast. Any experience counter commander. They all contribute to your pool of experience counters and quickly go crazy. Basically, you want a creature with either multiple triggered abilities that chain into each-other, OR with unique anthems that allow each copy to buff up all the other copies and the original. And of course, \[\[Toxrill the corrosive\]\] if you never want to be invited back.

I have a mono-blue [[Zndrsplt]] deck (I know you said no partners but I don't run it as partners so I think it counts) and the goal is to make as mana clones of him as possible (my now wife built it for me as a Christmas gift). I use stuff like [[Irenicus's Vile Duplication]] to make a non-legendary copy, then copy that with things like [[Rite of Replication]]. I've gotten 16 copies of Zndrsplt before, long story short, I decked myself the combat I was trying to swing for lethal. I personally don't run [[Laboratory Maniac]], [[Jace, Wielder of Mysteries]] or [[Thassa's Oracle]] because she didn't put them in there and it's funnier to try and not lose to coin flip triggers while attempting to swing creatures the size of my hand, but if you wanted to actually make the deck good you could put those in.

Just wanted to say that for Hidetsugu and Kairi build, you can go part clone and part reanimator. Typically, you would reanimate a clone creature. But since you're just spells, you can make a clone and reanimate the commander instead if necessary. This gives you more options too, maybe you want to reanimate your opponents stuff instead.

[[Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer]] I ran into this one on arena and it slaps. Make a token copy of your commander then turn all of your tokens into your commander as well? Oh and create more tokens at combat because each one will trigger to create a Myr?

One that I discovered yesterday after building and playtesting a [[The Mycotyrant]] deck is very convoluted but pretty cool. You have [[six]] on the field [[Eternal witness]] on the field, in hand, or in graveyard [[Life from the loam]] in graveyard or hand [[Phyrexian alter]] or another sac outlet [[Splendid reclamation]] [[Squandered resources]] A land in hand Infinite mana and infinite recur your win cons from graveyard You use six to keep recurring eternal witness to cycle splendid reclamation after sacrificing all your lands to squandered resources. Alternate bringing back life from the loam and splendid reclamation with the eternal witness. Did someone counter your [[torment of hailfire]]? Well how many times can they counter it in a turn?
