<p>A six-mana enchantment that adds four mana and copies a noncreature spell every turn. Everything this deck wants in one package: mana ramp and noncreature payoffs. UG/x decks of all kinds (but especially Bant enchantment decks) are going to clamor for one of these. All the better if you give your spells flash, but an incredible value engine even when playing entirely at sorcery speed.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dragon Man, Reformed Robot" href="#" target="_blank">Dragon Man, Reformed Robot</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragon Man, Reformed Robot"></div></div>
<p>I love the typeline "Dragon Robot" a whole lot, but I love the purpose of this card even more: beatstick. The deck does a lot of value engine wheel-spinning, but this guy is a recursive, evasive threat that can let the deck pilot make use of any big, clunky noncreature spells stuck in hand. Games need to end, and this Dragon Robot is there to punch the clock.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Flame On!" href="#" target="_blank">Flame On!</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Flame On!"></div></div>
<p>Speaking of ending the game, here's a "surprise Voltron" maneuver with a "make <i>sure </i>they're dead" button built in. The deck starts with 20 creatures in the main list, so even in a normal game, turn 8 on should see this turning any creature into a big threat. In a tuned <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/spellslinger">Spellslinger</a> list, I shudder to see how quickly this can make a random <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Young Pyromancer" href="#" target="_blank">Young Pyromancer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> into a one-hit KO.</p>

<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="H.E.R.B.I.E., Lovable Robot"></div></div>
<p>A flying, cheap mana dork who surveils every time you cast a noncreature spell and can either mana-fix or get in the red zone in a pinch. A solid pick for <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/cheerios">Cheerios</a> and Spellslinger decks alike and highly necessary for this deck.</p>

<p>Versatile removal in monogreen is a real treat, especially when it comes with two bites at the apple. The rebound is a perfect fit for this deck in particular, but will make it an all-rounder in many lists. A three-mana sorcery may make it feel slow, but<em> come on</em>: the value!</p>

<p>This is a cheeky side-grade of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Darksteel Plate" href="#" target="_blank">Darksteel Plate</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> that will find its way into all kinds of lists. <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/voltron">Voltron</a> and <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/equipment">Equipment</a> are shoo-ins, of course, but protecting one's commander from the stray <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wrath of God" href="#" target="_blank">Wrath of God</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is nothing to sneeze at, especially when it grants a power boost.</p>

<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Nova Flame"></div></div>
<p>Speaking of board wipes, here's a new one in red. Comparable to <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nibelheim Aflame" href="#" target="_blank">Nibelheim Aflame</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but with the unique bonus of being able to boost the creature first. At its best in decks with big creatures or +1/+1 counters, but any mana-intensive red list should take this into consideration.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Alicia Masters, Skilled Sculptor" href="#" target="_blank">Alicia Masters, Skilled Sculptor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Alicia Masters, Skilled Sculptor"></div></div>
<p>Another good source of ramp and color-fixing, this is a cheap <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Storm-Kiln Artist" href="#" target="_blank">Storm-Kiln Artist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> that's restricted to one Treasure per turn. This leans into the deck's theme of "one big noncreature spell per turn" rather than a <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/storm">Storm</a> list. She also has a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Homeward Path" href="#" target="_blank">Homeward Path</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> ability that'll randomly hose the <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/theft">Theft</a> player, which is funny.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Invisible Force Field" href="#" target="_blank">Invisible Force Field</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Invisible Force Field"></div></div>
<p>This is a flavorful twist on the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Heroic Intervention" href="#" target="_blank">Heroic Intervention</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> board protection effect, which has lately moved to being either 3 mana or 2 mana with a downside. In this case, it only protects four permanents, but it does also have rebound. It serves as a solid way to protect our stuff, and then either acts a free noncreature spell or a way for those creatures to get into the red zone without fear.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Valeria Richards, Precocious" href="#" target="_blank">Valeria Richards, Precocious</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Valeria Richards, Precocious"></div></div>
<p>A four-mana cost reducer for noncreature spells who can draw up to four cards a round? This kid is certainly "precocious" and likely going to end up at the head of more than one <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/counterspells">Permission</a> deck.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Franklin Richards, Ascendant" href="#" target="_blank">Franklin Richards, Ascendant</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Franklin Richards, Ascendant"></div></div>
<p>Should have cut it at Valeria, but I couldn't NOT talk about Franklin at least a little. Rivalling <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Child of Alara" href="#" target="_blank">Child of Alara</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for most powerful child on a <em>Magic</em> card, this 6/6 will guarantee a second spell every turn. Discover 6 is a sweet line of text; I'm interested to see if Franklin ends up as contender in the mono-red scene.</p>


<p>The <em>Fantastic Four</em> deck is all about one line of text: casting a noncreature spell before combat. Nine cards in the deck, including the Fantastic Face Commanders, all have that structure. This tells us that the deck wants to focus more on casting one big noncreature spell rather than a lot of little ones, and that it wants to operate at sorcery speed. There are only six instants to be found in the list and 17 cards at mana value five or greater.</p>
<p>The goal of this deck is to ramp early, cast its commander, and then wind-mill slam a noncreature spell every turn to accrue value. Big spells can win the game on their own, but a little extra sauce on the side never hurt.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mister Fantastic"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Invisible Woman"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mister Fantastic" href="#" target="_blank">Mister Fantastic</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Invisible Woman" href="#" target="_blank">Invisible Woman</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are more likely to hang back and generate value. Mister Fantastic helps "tie together" the deck by doing a straight value play of drawing a card on your combats and copying triggered abilities, of which the deck has in spades. Invisible Woman drops walls to protect you, but she is on the side of pushing damage through by making something unblockable. Mister Fantastic is most in tune with the deck as-is, although more triggered abilities are nice. Invisible Woman wants more token effects to make her ability consistently lethal.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="The Thing"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Human Torch"></div></div>
<p>Here are the Voltrons of the bunch. Good ol' Ben Grimm amasses counters and doubles all counters on your board for <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, while Johnny Storm turns into a keyword fest that can "attack" the whole table at once.  If you choose to stick it out with either of these two, you may want to tweak the deck more. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Thing" href="#" target="_blank">The Thing</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> obviously likes counters, while <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Human Torch" href="#" target="_blank">Human Torch</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> wants pump effects and ways to care about noncreature damage.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Power Pack"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Crystal, Inhuman Princess"></div></div>
<p>These are the most offbeat of the commander options, caring about a more specific slice of the noncreature pie. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Power Pack" href="#" target="_blank">Power Pack</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> essentially gives an instant or sorcery a free rebound; not getting the spell immediately feels bad, but it's designed to get that pre-combat noncreature spell trigger and works well. Throwing in more big sorceries and looting/rummaging will turn this into much more powerful pack.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crystal, Inhuman Princess" href="#" target="_blank">Crystal, Inhuman Princess</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> has a touch of a Vivid theme as seen recently in <em>Lorwyn Eclipsed</em>, caring about the number of colors in the noncreature spells cast.</p>
<p>The primary axis of this deck is its noncreature spells, and this deck brings them aplenty. Special shout-out to the noncreature spells with rebound and special guest flashback! If you happen to draw light on noncreature spells (somehow), these will check the box for two turns.</p>

<p>With those cleared, this deck has a ton of ways to care about noncreature spells, a few of which are noncreatures themselves to keep the party rolling.</p>

<p>The removal in the deck has two primary qualities: bigger emphasis on modal spells and board wipes that leave behind one creature so your commander can still pop the noncreature clause at combat. Neat!</p>

<p>The deck is a little light on card draw with only eight. Mister Fantastic may be more pivotal to the command zone than originally judged. There are still some solid options and great burst draw.</p>

<p>This deck doesn't have any combos straight out of the box, but there are a few potentials worth noting.</p>

<p>As a 4-color deck, all 37 lands are dedicated to maxing out colors. Only two lands provide an additional function, but even they provide maximum color-fixing. Still, the extra scry and occasional card draw they inject is appreciated. This a solid precon land base, with lots of checklands and even <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rejuvenating Springs" href="#" target="_blank">Rejuvenating Springs</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Baxter Building"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Path of Ancestry|MSC|254"></div></div>
<p>There aren't a lot of mana rocks; the deck having green means it can use land ramp, but we still get the nice bonus of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chromatic Lantern" href="#" target="_blank">Chromatic Lantern</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in the deck.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sol Ring|MSC|212"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Arcane Signet|MSC|192"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Chromatic Lantern|MSC|195"></div></div>
<p>There are three land search effects like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Three Visits" href="#" target="_blank">Three Visits</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but the deck does have two creatures for ramp, and given the noncreature theme, it's easy to see why they didn't do more.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="H.E.R.B.I.E., Lovable Robot|MSC|106"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Crystal, Inhuman Princess|MSC|80"></div></div>


<p>There are a few cards that don't quite pull their weight in this list for one reason or another:</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Galactus, Devourer of Worlds"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Silver Surfer, Galactus&#039;s Herald"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Black Bolt, Inhuman King"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Willie Lumpkin, Postman"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Terramorph"></div></div>
<p>Cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Galactus, Devourer of Worlds" href="#" target="_blank">Galactus, Devourer of Worlds</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Silver Surfer, Galactus&#039;s Herald" href="#" target="_blank">Silver Surfer, Galactus&#039;s Herald</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Willie Lumpkin, Postman" href="#" target="_blank">Willie Lumpkin, Postman</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are flavorful, but they are creature spells that don't interact with noncreature spells. They advance the game, but there are better options. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Black Bolt, Inhuman King" href="#" target="_blank">Black Bolt, Inhuman King</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> wants a chain of noncreature spells to be impactful. I love the rebound on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Terramorph" href="#" target="_blank">Terramorph</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but I don't love how slow it is at that mana value. Let's look into other, better noncreature spells with recurring value and creatures that actually further the theme...</p>
<h3>Five Additions on a Budget</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Venture Forth"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Primeval Bounty"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Faithful Mending"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lyse Hext"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="The Emperor of Palamecia"></div></div>
<h3>Five Additions With No Budget</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Artist&#039;s Talent"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Longshot, Rebel Bowman"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Vivi&#039;s Persistence"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Court of Garenbrig"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Akroma&#039;s Will"></div></div>
<p>Get the noncreature spells rolling quick! Reducing the costs with Artist's Talent and Longshot means playing the big haymakers sooner and occasionally chaining two big spells, and they both come with extra upsides. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vivi&#039;s Persistence" href="#" target="_blank">Vivi&#039;s Persistence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a noncreature spell that we can get back regularly which presents more and more damage over time. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Court of Garenbrig" href="#" target="_blank">Court of Garenbrig</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Akroma&#039;s Will" href="#" target="_blank">Akroma&#039;s Will</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are noncreature spells that turn creatures into absurd threats.</p>
<h3>Game Changers</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Smothering Tithe"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fierce Guardianship"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jeska&#039;s Will"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Cyclonic Rift"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Panoptic Mirror"></div></div>
<p>Most of these slip in by virtue of being "awesome noncreature spell". Some versatile removal and interaction is always solid, plus the ramp from <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Smothering Tithe" href="#" target="_blank">Smothering Tithe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is great. The uniquely thematic card is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Panoptic Mirror" href="#" target="_blank">Panoptic Mirror</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which lets us guarantee a noncreature spell every turn for the rest of the game (provided it survives).</p>


<p>This deck's MSRP is $75, on the high end for precons, but that's Universes Beyond.</p>
<p>The current value is suffering from pre-order prices and clocking in at around $303 on ManaPool. Other sites don't even have prices for everything. Without the new cards, there are about $90 in reprints (if you were to get the absolute cheapest versions of the cards).</p>
<p>The five most expensive reprints are:</p>

</ul>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Quantum Misalignment"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Seize the Day"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rejuvenating Springs"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Clever Concealment"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Three Visits"></div></div>


<p>This is the first four-color deck we've gotten in 10 years, which is a cool thing to see! It even gives out not just two or three but a whopping six new <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> commanders, more than doubling the non-partner number.</p>
<p>The noncreature theme is broad, but each available commander has a more specific hook built in that will naturally veer players away from a raw "goodstuff.dek" and I love that, especially seeing as the deck focuses more on one big spell per turn rather than a typical Storm list. I think the ramp package is a little light and clunky in places for such a color intensive, big spell heavy list, and the lack of card smoothing doesn't help. On the whole, great concept with one or two worries.</p>
<p><em>The Fantastic Four</em> gets a B+.</p>
