Build Guide

I was in a hotel bed, away from home thinking how could I recreate the Wizards most famous build. So using the new Kanais Cube possibilities I came out with this. I couldnt test it yet. But I will do as soon as get home

But Tal Rashas bonus + CoE (200%) + Rimehart (10000%) I thibk it can get insane.
