My pet deck for five+ years. Patron with Amulet of Vigor out is the big combo, hit Storm Cauldron and make infinite mana while your friends at the table have to deal with bouncing all their lands to try and deal with it!

An often overlooked function of the Offering mechanic on Patron is that it lets you cast it at instant speed, so keep that in mind when thinking about comboing off. Going off in response to someone else going off is exactly in the "spirit" of the deck!

The deck's full of counters, but of note are the options for "countering the uncounterable": Mindbreak Trap, Summary Dismissal, and Time Stop. The deck is built overall as an anti-combo combo deck, with plenty of disruption and interaction on the way to the end goal.

Top is a recent addition to the deck. After years of hating it's guts and refusing to play it in any deck, I put one in Yuriko to help kill people and realized I'm not as bad with it as I once was. Score one for more Trinket Mage hits!

Trinket Mage is kind of nuts in this, as it gets you Sol Ring for obvious reasons, Top for filtering, Meekstone to shut down aggressive decks, and Amulet to combo off! Tezzeret's great for similar reasons, and he can hit your mana doublers/stax effects.

I'm trying out putting Altar of the Brood in here, as there are sometimes you just hit infinitely replaying your lands, but miss on going positive with mana, or just have no action. Another target for Trinket Mage for a win condition seems good, but we'll see. Currently sitting in Impulse's slot.

I guess one day I'll be able to get a foil High Tide for the list, but Flooded Shoreline is impossible to replace and a Reserve List rare. It's so good in the deck that I don't feel that bad about it being 98/100 foiled!
