Council of Reeds
Legendary Creature — Human Scientist Hero
The "legend rule" doesn't apply to creatures you control. At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you've cast a noncreature spell this turn, create a token that's a copy of Council of Reeds.

Strategy
Council of Reeds breaks the legend rule, letting you stack multiple copies of itself on the battlefield. Your game plan is simple: cast a noncreature spell each turn to trigger Council's ability and make a token copy. Since the legend rule doesn't apply to your Councils, you can have as many as you want in play simultaneously. This quickly builds an army of 2/2 flyers that attack and pressure opponents while you keep casting spells to multiply your board. You win through combat damage, turning a modest evasive body into a snowballing token army that becomes impossible to block or race.
