Strategy
Myojin of Cryptic Dreams is a big blue creature that turns your best spells into armies of tokens. The core idea is simple: cast game-changing permanents (artifact mana, card draw engines, token makers), then use Myojin's ability to copy them three times over, flooding the board or multiplying your resource generation. You're looking for permanents that either generate value just by existing (like mana rocks or enchantments that draw cards) or create tokens themselves, so copying them is absolutely backbreaking.
The deck plays a midrange game where you ramp into Myojin, protect it, then weaponize the counter for maximum impact. The best targets for copying are token generators (Talrand, Sky Summoner or Murmuring Mystic), mana producers that trigger on cast (Etherium Sculptor, Foundry Inspector), or card advantage engines (Mystic Reflection, Sarcatog effects). You'll win through token swarm or by going so far ahead on resources that opponents can't keep up.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive mana rocks like Mox Diamond; use Sapphire Medallion, Darksteel Ingot, and Wayfarer's Bauble as budget ramp. Replace pricey token makers with Talrand or homemade token synergies.
