Legendary Creature — Wizard
{T}: Draw three cards. {2}{U}{U}: Return Arcanis to its owner's hand.
“Untap wizard that draws three cards repeatedly—control through pure card advantage.”
Arcanis the Omnipotent is a pure card-draw engine that untaps repeatedly to generate obscene amounts of value. Your core gameplan is getting Arcanis into play, then using untap effects—whether from artifact creatures, enchantments, or instant-speed tricks—to tap him for three cards each turn cycle. This creates a massive mana and card advantage engine that inevitably lets you sculpt the perfect hand while assembling a winning game state. You're essentially playing a control deck with exceptional draw, using blue's countermagic and bounce spells to protect your engine while you chip away with either Arcanis's evasion or a secondary win condition.
The deck thrives on redundancy in untap outlets: cards like Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, Illusionist's Stratabarrier, or even basic stuff like Dramatic Reversal fuel endless draw triggers. Combine this with mana acceleration to power out Arcanis early and you're drawing into answers, threats, and more untap pieces every single turn. The beauty is that you're never color-screwed once Arcanis lands because you're drawing so many cards. You'll eventually find your best path to victory—whether that's beatdown via Arcanis himself or a constructed combo finish.

Skip pricey lands like Misty Rainforest; use basic Islands and utility lands like Mystic Gate instead. Replace Force of Will with Spell Pierce or Flusterstorm for budget countermagic.
