Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
...Another one of my decks from last week
featured cost-reducer Locket of Yesterdays. The deck was blue-green and
used the Locket to abuse buyback spells like Clockspinning and Sprout
Swarm. In the forums, Tekanan brought up the possibility of adding red
to the deck for Storm Entity and Haze of Rage. Cool ideas. I was
thinking of including red, but not for those two cards. Instead, I was
going to use Locket of Yesterdays (and Cloud Key) to reduce the cost of
both Seething Song and Time Spiral's buyback Fork, Reiterate.
With Reiterate's cost reduced by one, you can generate
an arbitrarily large storm count by Fork-ing the Seething Song
repeatedly. Play Seething Song and target it with Reiterate with
buyback. When the copy of Seething Song resolves, you will have five red
mana in your pool and Reiterate in your hand. Use the five mana to
replay Reiterate with buyback, once again targeting the original
Seething Song. Repeat as necessary.
The bad news is this requires an initial investment of
up to eight mana. The good news is that it only requires eight mana if
all you have is a Locket of Yesterdays reducing Reiterate by one. If
instead you have a single Cloud Key (naming instants), you will only
need seven mana to get going. Better still, the second Cloud Key reduces
your start up costs by two more (meaning you can fire off the combo with
five lands) and it lets you generate infinite mana along with your
infinite storm count. Since Seething Song produces five mana and you can
play and buy back Reiterate with four, you will get a bonus red mana
with each iteration.
Grapeshot will kill your opponent once you have
sufficient storm. Demonfire will kill your opponent once you have
sufficient mana. A giant Storm Entity will kill your opponent if they
have insufficient blockers (i.e. zero) or you have sufficient Fury
Charms (i.e. one). The Charms also let you hasten the "One Big Turn"
that Wheel of Fate will allow you to take. Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir is a
bit of nuisance for this deck, so feel free to Skred him. |
