Neo da Vinci. Because the deck creates so many new Leos and he is "the one" in this deck.

Hmm, additional deck name ideas:
The Forgery (play on Da Vinci being a painter and all the copying and turning a blank canvas into a masterpiece through ESR)
Rock and a Hard Place (one of my favorite paintings of his is Madonna of the Rocks. Getting caught between all the Leos on the board would be like being caught between a rock and a hard place - no way out, especially with all the card draw he creates).

Sorry to veer away from the topic of the deck, but tuism, did you see The Illusiionist? The Prestige came out at the same time as the Illusionist and being an Edward Norton fan, I only bothered to watch The Illusionist (excellent movie, btw). I'm curious how the two compare, because the plots sound almost identical. And it was a time where a lot of copycat movies were coming out back to back.

Nope, I haven't personally watched that, but the Prestige was, for me, superb, with a great ending

The Illusionist had a great surprise ending, too. Very smart. And I love the atmosphere...Edward Norton movies have their own specific atmospheres that can't really be matched.

no leo's yet, so I can't play test, but name wise:
"The Plagiarist" "Will the real Leonardo please stand up ?'

I think this deck should be called Leotardo Da Winsie

I call it "Leo, my Leo" (respect to Astrid Lindgren and her fairytale "Mio, min Mio" (Swedish). English translation named "Mio in the Land of Faraway")
One more time my gratitude to mana for great deck idea. I like to play it very much. I tweaked it a little because don't like KIP so all 5 Plentiful crap instead. Also all 5 Sci Esp because we have to defend Leos of mass destruction (Animus Reboot, Lassitude, Wrath of Righteous) and other removal (Change of Plans first of all). BTW I like to put in my decks little swiss knife of 3 Family Heirloom + 2 Venezia + 1 Sudden Exaust.

IMHO, both The Prestige and The Illusionist are great movies!

The prestige and the illusion are built on the same premise, but shouldn't really be compared. They have different themes and angles, but if I had to choose, I'd say prestige was my favorite of the two. It's not as focused on romance and has much deeper themes like identity, sacrifice, self, etc. The illusionist is more of a romance and winning over the girl, masked as a magician movie.
I think I see where both builds are coming from (ESR and ramp), and they both have their merits. I think the choice is really a matter of style.
How reliably do you get ESR without your engine? Maybe it's a good idea to run scientific method, so you don't have to throw some first hands back. I could see a great deal of bad hands flooded with copy cards... Also, I think one more scientific espionage would be good. It doesn't look like you have too much protection from sweepers. Of course, this is all theory craft as I haven't actually played your deck. I'm playing a butcher version, but I feel your color choice is better since it is near impossible to find ESR with media and order without taking a Mulligan.
Name game: Leonardo (simple) Leo Bunshin (naruto reference) Copy Ninja Da Vinci (naruto reference) Hurricane Leo Leo, The Mind Sculptor (mtg reference) Leo Enters Stage Left (or Leo Enters) Leo Overwhelming (starcraft reference) Order 66 (starwars reference) I see Leo 2 (it takes 2 reference) And Then there were Two (and then there were none reference) Drawsome (pun on awesome)
