Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
You control a creature that can tap to produce at least {U}. You control two untapped creatures excluding the mana-producing creature and Harmonized Trio.
Steps
Activate a creature by tapping it, adding at least {U}. Activate Harmonized Trio by tapping it and two other creatures you control, causing it to become prepared. Cast a copy of Brainstorm by paying {U}. Tellah triggers, creating a creature token. When the creature token enters, Intruder Alarm triggers, untapping all creatures. Resolve Brainstorm, causing you to draw three cards and put two cards from your hand onto the top of your library. Repeat.
