Saved commander deck
Adric, Mathematical Genius
Use Adric to double powerful card draw triggers, ETB effects, and activated abilities, generating massive advantage to win with evasive flying creatures and draw-scaling threats.
Prompt: A blue deck for Adric, Mathematical Genius, up to $50, at most $55. I like card draw, specially card draw engines. I don’t know win conditions, but could be related to creature abilities. If possible, creatures with flying. Need 4 or 5 board wipes(consider returning all permanents or creatures to hand as a board wipe). Please and thank you.
