    If you have ever seen the movie, "The Prestige" then the reference will make a lot of sense once the deck is explained.

    Spoiler Alert

    The way in which Robert Angier replicates Alfred Borden's "The Transported Man" magic trick is to have Nicola Tesla create a chamber that clones himself, dropping either the original into a tank of water below the stage while the copy appears in the balcony.

    ENTER: Replication Cell

    Between Bottled Insight, Feln Blueprints (with the Feln Hierloom), Herald's Song, this deck has hand crafting, void shaping, and power fixing cards and to help you deal with delivering the ideal plays. Ideally you would like Align the Tesseract and Channel the Tempest in your void before playing the Davia, Azurebreaker and Replication Cell combo.

    Win Conditions: Davia, Azurebreaker (still wins games on her own) Replication Cell, Tesseract Prime

    The nerf to Davia, Azurebreaker allowed this deck to come about. I think we all knew that DireWolf was going to do something about her because, in my opinion, it's still the best unit in the game. Aegis, 5/5, Stun for 4, and the summon (2 power) ability still seems OP. Dropping the cost by 1 in the update, allows us to potentially drop her as early as turn 5 in the current deck. That of course would need some help from Coveted Gemstone and Secret Pages. One thing that I don't think some Eternal players realize, is that with a deck of 75, getting power cards put into play and not in draw is essential for control/combo decks where you need a specific set of cards.

    With the draw and discard spells we can reach further into our deck than most and can usually find a Davia, Azurebreaker in our hand by turn 5 or 6 unless we have a complete dud of a hand and deck. More importantly, the discard abillities drop our high-cost spells in the void in the process. Playing Davia, Azurebreaker without her summon extra is recommended if you have a Replication Cell in hand. The following turn, you play the Cell, and sacrifice Davia, Azurebreaker to be able to cast her for 4 every turn, 6, if you use the, summon extra, which you will want to.

    Target Void Spells to use all the time.
    Align the Tesseract
    Channel the Tempest

    If you are able to play a Tesseract Prime from Davia's ability and happen to have another Replication Cell, then you sacrifice the Prime and can now play Tesseract Prime for 4 power, and because it's a Grenadin, you can use the Cell to cast multiple Primes per turn. By turn 8 you could have Davia and 3 Tesseract Prime's on the field if the opponent hasn't already conceded at that point.

    Just for fun, we will find out how! (results will vary)
    (P01) Turn 1: Power
    (P02) Turn 2: Power and Herald's Song drop Align the Tesseract in void
    (P04) Turn 3: Power and Secret Pages or Coveted Gemstone
    (P06) Turn 4: Power and Secret Pages or Coveted Gemstone
    (P08) Turn 5: Power and Secret Pages or Coveted Gemstone
    (P09) Turn 6: Power and Davia, Azurebreaker play Align the Tesseract
    (P10) Turn 7: Power and play Replication Cell play Replication Cell sacrafice Tesseract Prime pay 4 to cast it from Replication Cell
    (P10) Turn 8 Activate Replication Cell twice.

    There are situational spells throughout the deck that are universally helpful in this deck but for specific decks, they will be crucial to use effectively. Disjunction may go up to a 4x depending on the amount of relic hate, or relic play in the Meta. Being able to fetch from the void, or destroy a relic/attachment at fast spell speed is a huge plus. It's also an easy card to discard if up against a deck with no relics or destroy cards.

    I've just added Banish in place of Cover from the Storm. I'm running up against a lot of hidden cards, and the Harsh Rule can handle some mid-game board states while Vara's Authorit can clean up an aggro pile.

    Coveted Gemstone with +1 power and Market Fetch ability can help, depending on the deck you are playing against.

    I've included these cards in the Market
    Dichro's Ruin great against aggro decks, control decks, and draw decks.
    Pinnacle of the Reach combos with Dichro's Ruin and helps if you are getting light on cards.
    Temporal Distortion Not sure if needed in this deck? Does allow you to use the Cells ability on your turn and cast any of the spells on your opponents. Most of the time, if you have this out with your combo, the game is already over.
    Valiant Guardian Haven't had a need for this yet, not sure if it's overkill, would be willing to trade this out.

    I love playing this deck. Since it's not a Meta deck I have found that often, an opponent will play a Sinister Rumors and pull one of the scary spells into the void. I always get a bit of a kick out of that.

    It's a little bit weak against Aggro decks that have the ability to ramp up attacks quickly. I haven't consistently had a problem against any style of decks, but any combo/control deck will have to get Aggro under control pretty quickly.

    The only surprise in the power pool is Rune of Relocation. Teleport is real, and it's a fetchable card by Davia. Can help delay for a turn or two, to let you have more time to setup the combo.
