Now at this point you could use the Lightning Bolt/ Reiterate combo again, but perhaps you want to try something different? Your opponents have an active infinite life gain loop? Good job we’re packing Stroke of Genius to make target opponent draw until they deck out! And thanks to Riku, you can copy it and hit 2 opponents at once!Īnd of course, back-up plans are everything in a combo deck, so we also pack Deadeye Navigator and Panharmonicon to go infinite with Palinchron, on the off chance you cant get Riku out! You should now have enough mana to bounce the original Palinchron and cast it again, repeating this process until you have infinite mana. “But! What if I want to generate infinite mana during my own turn, Yami?” Well, I’m glad you asked! Simply play Palinchron with your commander on board, using Riku to copy Palinchron, floating any excess mana in response to the Palinchron’s entry effect. At this point you have enough mana to buyback reiterate and cast it again enough times that each other player at the table is getting bolted for enough to kill them again next game, as well! Make sure you buyback Reiterate, because as soon as the copy or Reset resolves, you’re going to be doing this again! Your opponents get to look on in horror as you generate infinite mana during their turn, before casting Lightning Bolt and reiterating that too. You cant’t win without your combo, right? Unfortunately for them we also run Firemind’s foresight, allowing us to tutor for Lightning Bolt, Reset and Reiterate at instant speed, because who doesn’t want to win during their opponents turn?! Simply cast Reset in your opponents turn, and copy it with Reiterate. However, sometimes the old Twin combo just isn’t enough: maybe your opponent has exiled both Splinter Twin and Kiki, and they get comfortable. This combo isn’t costly mana wise, and with the right draws and tutors, can be pulled off extremely early in the game, plus there a multiple cards with the same ability, giving you a back-up plan if somebody counters your first attempt! This gives you infinite creatutres to attack with, but on the occasion that you can’t just attack your opponent (let’s say they have a Ghostly Prison) You also have infinite creatures entering the battlefield, each triggering Purphoros, God of the Forge, allowing you to decimate a table without even turning sideways (and Purphoros being indestructible makes it that little bit harder for your opponents to stop you!). Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Splinter Twin, going infinite with Bounding Krasis, Deceiver Exarch, Pestermite, or Zealous Conscripts, is the main way to win in this deck, generating infinite creatures by having the copy of your Kiki/Twin target untap the original, allowing you tap it again and create another copy, and repeat. Following on from the previous point, Riku goes infinite with Palinchron, and whilst that may be the secondary wincon of the deck, it is still extremely powerful and demands answering.You cast Riku, your opponents need to answer him immediately, unless they want to run the risk of generating infinite mana.Blue/Red/Green is a great colour combination for combo, and Riku’s ability to copy spells and creatures will be key for getting out of sticky situations and winning games. However with this in mind, the deck has a habit of creeping up and winning out of nowhere, especially if left unchecked! So if you will, allow me to bring you down the rabbit hole, and introduce you to the world of EDH combo! Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, friends! I’m Yamikarac, and this will be my first article for Rain Of Salt! And, what better way to start than a deck tech of my favourite deck, my baby, my go-to? That’s right, I’m talking about the wonderful world of Riku! Now, I’m gonna go ahead now and mention that this is most definitely my most competitive deck, and it isn’t quite where I want it to be yet (Everyone needs a budget, but I’ll get to my improvements and future goals later!).
