How to Play

Version 2 - Added sideboard/Swapped some cards.

Win Conditions:

1.) Infinite Loop!

You need 4-8 mana and Ral on the field, and either 2 x Expansion//Explosion (E//E), or 1 x Narset's Reversal (NR) and 1 x E//E in your hand.

E//E x 2 Method: This is the easiest setup to complete. Either wait for your opponent to cast an instant or sorcery, or cast a low mana cost instant or sorcery yourself. While this spell is on the stack, cast your first E//E to clone that spell. Before you let that E//E resolve, cast your second E//E to clone the first. Let this E//E resolve. Ral's passive ability will trigger dealing 1 damage to your opponent. With the New E//E copy, target the first E//E, and let this copy resolve, triggering Ral's ability again. Rinse and repeat until your opponent is dead. You need 4-6 mana to kick this off.

NR and E//E method: You will need at least 6 mana available to kick the loop off. Wait for your opponent to cast an Instant or Sorcery, or cast one yourself. Cast E//E to clone that spell. Before the E//E resolves, cast NR on the E//E and allow it to resolve. This will put another E//E on the stack and return the original to your hand. With the E//E in your hand, cast it again, targeting the copy generated by NR. The rest of this loop unfolds as the 2x E//E method. This will require 6-8 mana to kick off.

2.) Nicol Bolas - Nicol Bolas's (NB) abilities can win games all by themselves. However, if you have Ral on the field, NB's passive will clone Ral's abilities. This means you can used Ral's +2 to quickly pump NB's loyalty, and scry twice in a round. After two rounds of using Ral's +2 ability, you can use NB's -8 which will end the game if your opponent does not have a legendary creature or planeswalker in play. If you get the infinite loop to fire after playing NB with Ral in play, you will kill your opponent twice as fast.

3.) Standard Creature/Direct Damage - Ral's -2 copy spell ability opens up all sorts of opportunities. Use NR/E//E/Ral-2 to clear the field of creatures, or kill an opponent.

SIDEBOARD:

The sideboard features many different kinds of removal for creatures/artifacts/lands/planeswalkers. It also features Radiating Lightning, which will allow you to sweep tokens,low toughness creatures, etc... especially when duplicated via any of the copy methods in use outlined above.
