Only 6 creatures?  Crazy talk.  I have enough to flood the field!

This deck isn't the most efficient, but I simply like making these Hope decks that aren't too bad.  It mostly takes advantage of Deja Vu's vanilla nature after the split and its surprising Airborne quality, as seen in furballdn's exploits.

Mitosis just helps you pop out Deja Vus a lot faster while Shard of Freedom helps bypass all those bothersome shields that these 1|1 creatures need help bypassing.

Helpful Additions:
Shard of Readiness: On a Mitosis Deja Vu, you get double usage and free Deja Vus.  With Deja Vu.  I feel as if I said this before.
Empathetic Bond: Considering the massive Deja Vu army you will amass, Empathetic Bonds will prove to provide sufficient healing.
Sundial: Make use of excess while you wait for more cards.
Blessing: Expensive but common alternative to Shard of Freedom.  Will definitely make things go slower and susceptible to CC still.
Sanctuary: You will end up with excess .  Might as well put it to use.

You actually get enough damage with that?

No adrenaline? No Upgrades? Madness! Deja vu unupped do 1 or 2 damage. I'm not sure you'll have enough damage output. Also, 4 mitosis+6 deja vu. That seems like overkill really. 3 deja vu is enough to bring up a nearly unpenetratable hope shield.

That's what SoFre is for.  Once you get a full field of Deja Vu, you deal a 23 a turn, not counting the damage leading up to it.

Also, the Mitosis aren't there for only creating Deja Vu to Luciferin, but to try to build up that horde of 1|1 quicker.

And undoubtedly it would be faster upgraded at 2|2 and lower costs.

With SoFre, it's 46 a turn, but I really doubt you'll need that. Either you'll be outrushed too quickly or your hope shield is so large it's already won.

Getting hope up is the priority. You have 23 turns to kill your opponent, so even with 1|1 creatures, with SoFre, you shouldn't be too worried unless they have massive healing.

Yup. And as always, decks like this have the weakness of no control whatsoever, and being exceedingly weak to momentum, poison, and mass CC.

Another fact. Luci and SoFre both use  , so have you considered nova? I noticed nova helped a lot in my SoFrepi decks in getting instant quanta quicker.

I was actually trying to keep this a Trio, but yeah, it would help in pulling out the Shards.  But it's not really necessary since you can use excess to build the SoFre stack or play more Luci.

Doesn't Luciferin cost  quanta?

Oops.

I would replace a pendulum for a Miracle, seems cool.

yo dawg, i heard you like deja vu's... 

just had to do it, sorry. looks like a very cool deck! if you managed to throw in an eternity as well, it would quickly become a pvp1 rage-quitter
