Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
When you get the opportunity to put every
permanent in your hand directly into play for free, you don't want to
waste it by dropping a bunch of, say, Thallids on to the table. You
might as well go big or go home. I recommend going big. Decks have been
cheating creatures into play for centuries, with cards like Sneak
Attack, Elvish Piper, and even Zombify. These decks used many of the
same heavy hitters, your Darksteel Colossi, your Serra Avatars, your
Verdant Forces and Crater Hellions and Angels of Despair. Those are
incredibly fun cards, to be sure, but perhaps there is something better.
Speaking of “better,” there are a number of two-card (or
three- or four-card) combos that win the game instantly. First of all, you
can assemble the four Fifth Dawn stations (Blasting, Grinding, Salvaging,
and Summoning Station). Throw in a Chromatic Sphere and that's an instant
win. I'm not sure exactly how, but I think you tap and untap things until
your opponent concedes. Another nifty one is the ol' Kiki-Jiki, Mirror
Breaker and Sky Hussar combo, where you use Kiki-Jiki to copy the Hussar,
which untaps Kiki-Jiki, allowing you to copy the Hussar. I could do this
all day, that is, make infinite creatures. If you don't have the Hussar,
you can still make a lot of creatures with Kiki-Jiki and Intruder Alarm
and any other non-Legendary creature. Bosh, Iron Golem and Draco is almost
an instant win, since Bosh can fling the sixteen-mana Dragon in your
opponent's general direction for, not coincidentally, sixteen damage.
Bringer of the White Dawn and Mindslaver combine to steal all of your
opponent's future turns, which might make it tough for your opponent to
win. Sekki, Seasons' Guide forms an infinite-damage combo with
Pandemonium. All you have to do is target Sekki him/herself with
Pandemonium's triggered ability. This will deal eight damage to the
Legendary Spirit and put eight Spirit tokens into play. These tokens will
then deal eight more damage, this time to your opponent. Then, you can
sacrifice the tokens to reanimate Sekki, which restarts the loop.
Which of these combos should we use? Why not all of
them? (And why don't we also assemble Kaldra, just for kicks.)
That deck is really dependent upon resolving your
Hypergenesis, since so many of the spells are otherwise unplayable. And if
your opponent has a Remand, well, you'd might as well pack up your cards
and go home. Like I said before, though, you're perfectly welcome to add
some measure of disruption to the deck. You don't have to sit idly by
while your opponent figures out a way to stop you.
