Toski, Bearer of Secrets is another card that is powerful as a one-of but gets really out of control in multiples, when each creature we deal combat damage with draws us multiple cards. Since our deck is planning to make oodles of mana, we need oodles of cards to cast with the mana, or else it's worthless. With multiple on the battlefield, many of our cards essentially become free, and some even turn into rituals by generating mana! Together, these cards help ensure that once our deck gets going, we have all of the mana we need to cast every card that we can draw. Meanwhile, Birgi, God of Storytelling makes mana as we cast spells. With two Magdas on the battlefield, we can make a ton of Treasure mana each turn since each copy of Magda triggers the others to make a Treasure. Magda, Brazen Outlaw makes a Treasure token whenever a Dwarf becomes tapped (which is where Esika, God of the Tree comes in, allowing us to tap Magda, Brazen Outlaw without sending it into combat). Magda, Brazen Outlaw and Birgi, God of Storytelling are both powerful cards on their own, but they get really out of control when we have multiple on the battlefield thanks to Mirror Box. While our deck is overflowing with legends, the most important of the bunch are the ones that make mana or draw us cards, which allow us to snowball through our entire deck (or, at least, most of it) with the help of Mirror Box and Bard Class. Meanwhile, Bard Class gives us the ramp and card draw we need to flood the board with an insane amount of legends, making it the perfect backup to Mirror Box. It also pumps our legends, which is a nice bonus but not the primary reason we're playing the artifact. Our namesake Mirror Box lets us keep multiples of the same legend on the battlefield, which can do some pretty absurd things with legends that generate mana or draw cards, but more on this in a minute. The two most important cards in our deck are our legendary-matters support cards Mirror Box and Bard Class. Anyway, after trying a bunch of different possibilities, I landed on Temur Mirror Box as the build that could do the most spectacular things. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot more of it in the not-too-distant future, not just in Standard but in other formats as well. In fact, Mirror Box might be the new Panharmonicon, in the sense that it's a colorless card that can support a ton of different decks. The hardest part of building around Mirror Box-by far-was narrowing down all of the possibilities.
