Master Reality is the essential part of this deck, giving extra value to all of the suite of cards that generate cards. Battle Hymn and Study offer a huge amount of damage and utility, made even stronger by Master Reality.

An extra fun flavor of this archetype is the Dead Branch variant which allows you to repeatedly refill your hand with generated cards. Most cards that the Watcher generates also exhaust, giving plenty of fuel for the engine.

Support items

Note that Master Reality has some synergy with Alpha and Conjure Blade, but those have separate archetypes that use them better.

'Master Reality' archetype weaknesses

Collect is fine to include to solve energy problems, but note that the Miracles it creates are already upgraded so these do not benefit from Master Reality.
