Attack your opponents with a thousand-digit number of 4/4 Parallel Lives!

Opalescence and Starfield of Nyx animate our enchantments. Dual Nature, Minion Reflector, and Bramble Sovereign make more copies of animated enchantments, Panharmonicon copies their triggers, and Mirage Mirror copy any of these copying cards. Copying Parallel Lives, Anointed Procession, Doubling Season, or Primal Vigor lets us make even more copies of any enchantments we play. Copy Enchantment, Estrid's Invocation, Dance of Many, and Clever Impersonator copy the token-doubling enchantments and trigger more copying.

The numbers of tokens can get out of control very quickly. With Opalescence, Dual Nature, and Panharmonicon on the field:

  1. Cast Parallel Lives, which enters as a creature due to Opalescence. Dual Nature triggers twice due to Panharmonicon.

  2. First trigger from Dual Nature makes 2 tokens of Parallel Lives because the original gives double the tokens.

  3. Second trigger from Dual Nature makes 8 tokens because we already had 3 Parallel Lives which double the number of tokens 3 times, and 2^3 = 8.

  4. Cast Copy Enchantment copying Parallel Lives, which enters as a creature due to Opalescence. Dual Nature triggers twice due to Panharmonicon.

  5. First trigger from Dual Nature makes 2048 tokens because we already had 11 Parallel Lives, and 2^11 = 2048.

  6. Second trigger from Dual Nature makes 2^2059 tokens because we already had 2059 Parallel Lives.

  7. Casting any enchantment after that makes at least 2^2060 tokens from Dual Nature triggers.

Earthcraft lets the animated enchantments ramp us immediately so we can cast even more enchantments.

Copies of Sigil of the Empty Throne make lots of Angel tokens. Copies of Mirari's Wake grow our army of enchantments and give us more mana. One Weirding Wood should make lots of Clue tokens to draw all the cards we need.

Copies of Grasp of Fate or Banishing Light will remove all our opponents' permanents. Aura Shards also does the same if we have Enchanted Evening. Opalescence + Parallax Wave or Parallax Wave + Starfield of Nyx can exile creatures and flicker itself in response, so we get a new Parallax Wave while the exiled creatures are removed permanently, so this combo lets us exile all opponents' creatures (and enchantments if they are animated by Opalescence). This also allows us to flicker our other enchantments to protect them.

Calming Verse + Enchanted Evening destroys all opponents' permanents. Enchanted Evening + Opalescence kills all opponents' lands, but also kills ours unless we have Mirari's Wake. Decree of Silence + Solemnity prevents opponents from casting spells.

Dance of Many + Opalescence or Dance of Many + Starfield of Nyx make infinite tokens if Dance of Many targets itself, making a token that copies Dance of Many which creates another token, ad infinitum. This ends the game in a draw if there are no other creatures to copy.

300 copies of Induced Amnesia will make opponents lose by drawing from empty libraries if they each have at least one card in hand. Concordant Crossroads gives our enchantments haste so we can attack for the win.

Estrid, the Masked's -1 can enchant The Chain Veil so it gets untapped by her +2. Estrid, the Masked + The Chain Veil can repeatedly untap The Chain Veil for infinite activations of Estrid and untap our enchanted lands for infinite mana so we can Genesis Wave our library, or cast enchantments so our enchantresses draw more enchantments for us to cast.

If there are no Doubling Seasons involved, Estrid, the Masked can use up her loyalty by using her +2 twice and then -7 once, so we can then recast her from the command zone to repeat the cycle (paying extra for commander tax each time). This repeated use of her -7 can cheat all the enchantments in our library into play.

An enchanted Kiora's Follower to untap The Chain Veil lets us use it twice for each time we activate Estrid's +2, so we will have extra activations available to repeatedly use her -7.

Parallax Wave can repeatedly flicker Estrid and itself if both are animated, allowing infinite usage of her abilities, especially with multiple Doubling Seasons so we can use her -7 immediately. Aura Shards with Enchanted Evening can destroy Estrid and cast her again. Mirage Mirror can provide another way to put Estrid back in the command zone if Enchanted Evening is in play.

We can also Traumatize to fill our graveyard then use Estrid, the Masked's -7 or Replenish to cheat those enchantments into play.

For another way to copy enchantments that doesn't require animating them, we can use Mirrorworks with Mycosynth Lattice (like in my Breya equipment copying deck which makes uncountable numbers of Anointed Procession to equip with Bludgeon Brawl). This notably provides a way to copy Auras, which are not animated by Opalescence or Starfield of Nyx. They can also copy Panharmonicon, which grows our army exponentially when casting any token doubler.

Cloudstone Curio can bounce an enchantment so we can recast it for card draw from enchantresses and more tokens from Bramble Sovereign and Minion Reflector triggers, but does not work with Dual Nature since the tokens will be removed. Cloudstone Curio can also bounce Estrid if we have another planeswalker, or if Estrid is an enchantment due to Enchanted Evening. However, Cloudstone Curio does not work with Mycosynth Lattice on the battlefield.

Cleansing Meditation can flicker all our enchantments if we have threshold, and with Enchanted Evening will destroy all opponents' permanents, although our lands, artifacts, creatures, and Estrid will also be destroyed.

Mirror Gallery allows us to copy even Estrid or The Chain Veil with Enchanted Evening + Opalescence or Starfield of Nyx, or Clever Impersonator.

Phyrexian Metamorph provides redundancy for Clever Impersonator if enchantments are animated. Copy Artifact can copy Panharmonicon.

Fatestitcher can be unearthed and enchanted to untap The Chain Veil for extra planeswalker activations.

Biovisionary would be a good creature to copy to win at end of turn without combat.

Centaur Glade turns infinite mana into infinite Centaurs. Ajani's Chosen makes infinite Cat tokens with Enchanted Evening but requires Aura Shards, Parallax Wave, or a sac outlet to remove the Ajani's Chosen. Aquatic Incursion makes a lot of tokens.

Valor in Akros pumps all our creatures by a lot if it is animated and copied. Cathars' Crusade does the same but doesn't work if we have Solemnity. Collective Blessing works well, as does Heavenly Blademaster with many copies of Estrid's Masks enchanting her.

Emblems from Elspeth, Knight-Errant or Vivien Reid make our cards indestructible.

Grim Monolith and Basalt Monolith are easily untapped by Estrid if they are enchanted. They also generate infinite colorless mana with Power Artifact.

Making multiple copies of Mana Reflection gives us ridiculous amounts of mana.

Greater Good can sacrifice some of the animated enchantments for card draw, while also filling the graveyard for Replenish or Estrid's -7. Kor Spiritdancer can also provide card draw when casting Auras.

Eidolon of Blossoms and Kestia, the Cultivator were avoided due to mandatory draw triggers, although they can be fine with cards that replace draw such as Abundance and Archmage Ascension.

Leyline of Anticipation allows us to cast our spells at instant speed, but activating Estrid's abilities at instant speed requires Teferi, Temporal Archmage's emblem.
