Codie, Vociferous Codex
Legendary Artifact Creature — Book Construct
You can't cast permanent spells. {4}, {T}: Add {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}. When you next cast a spell this turn, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile an instant or sorcery card with lesser mana value. Until end of turn, you may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Put each other card exiled this way on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Strategy
Codie turns you into a spell-slinging machine by converting mana into card draw and free spell casts. Since you can't play permanents, you're all-in on instants and sorceries—think control magic, card draw, and efficient interaction. Each activation of Codie's ability fuels your next spell with a library dig, potentially hitting multiple spells per turn cycle and generating tons of value.
The deck wins by grinding opponents down with superior card advantage and resource management. You're playing a controlling game that pivots into finishing opponents with burn spells, X-cost draw effects, or commander damage once you've stabilized. Storm-adjacent play patterns emerge naturally as you chain spells together, and Codie's mana production means you'll hit your land drops while still casting spells efficiently.
