Achievment Unlocked! 250G Infinite Army!
I have a friend that built this deck and played for a FNM. I borrowed the idea and added a few extra cards in there. Keeping it Post Rotation the best we can. Whole point of this deck WAS to get infinite drake tokens out!
SO! The strategy around this deck has changed! But main 3 cards it was built around is there!
Main build of this deck is around 3 cards...
-------->Archaeomancer , Ghostly Flicker & Omniscience .
When Omniscience drops the hope is to have at least 1 Archaeomancer and aElvish Visionary on the field (or in hand) as well as a Ghostly Flicker in hand (or in your graveyard).
Play Omniscience , then cast Ghostly Flicker on Archaeomancer gaining back the just used Ghostly Flicker and one Elvish Visionary draw 1 card! Then rinse and repeat! Until you get a Thragtusk pulled then flicker the Archaeomancer and Thragtusk for awhile, stacking beast tokens and gaining life! If I have Talrand, Sky Summoner on the main board at the time (instead of Thragtusk ) when he enters then each spell you cast after, you're just stacking Drake Tokens from ablity!
Most people don't see the Archaeomancer as a threat... they will look at the Elderscale Wurm , Craterhoof Behemoth or Primordial Hydra frist before even thinking about wasting a Murder on Archaeomancer .
Laboratory Maniac so that once the main combo gets going I can just mill myself out for the win!
Boundless Realms , Elvish Archdruid , Elvish Visionary & Arbor Elf for mana ramp. So we can get out Omniscience , Elderscale Wurm or a Primordial Hydra early on.
Clone s for extra elf's, Elderscale Wurm s, Craterhoof Behemoth s or even my opponents creatures! >:D They also help with Legendary creature removal!
Peel from Reality , Dissipate & fogbank for a little control. Also Peel from Reality can help me by bouncing my Elvish Visionary (for example) to give me more card draw.
Roaring Primadox for those times I just can't draw a Ghostly Flicker .
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage is primarily for extra card draw as well as her -8. She here also to freak people out a bit... Cause nobody wants to see her final ability! >:D
Infinite Reflection on the side board to give an army of beefy Elderscale Wurm s! (That's one win condition).
Cyclonic Rift side boarded... for those times when you wanna throw back everyone's creatures!
And one Acidic Slime for that delicious land destruction! If I choose not to mill myself out I can swing for big without any worry from opponents spells! :D
Any other suggestion on what to take out? Maybe even other cards that would work better that the ones I have in here.
Thank you to everyone that has help me with this beast! It wouldn't be what it is today without you all!
Since Return to Ravnica has dropped and all these new cards are here. I just had to add a couple to this particular deck.
Chromatic Lantern to the main board & Cyclonic Rift to the side! (it'll probably get worked into the main soon enough tho)
I have made this one a little over 60 cards but I feel that it still works well!
Let me know what you all think!
The name has changed!
Since Infinite Drakes are no longer the main objective.... But you can still have a INFINITE ARMY!
Added in Laboratory Maniac into this mix! Thank you Strangelove for this great combo idea!
Omniscience + Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Elvish Visionary + Laboratory Maniac = WIN! HAHA!
I added a Craterhoof Behemoth and some Thragtusk s onto the main board in place of Talrand, Sky Summoner ! So no more infinite drakes :' ( But that's ok! Infinite BEASTS!!! Seems pretty solid! Test it and let me know what you think!
@4649matt Why that you sir! for Sever the Bloodline first thing that comes to mind is ether a Dissipate to counter and exile it or even a Peel from Reality or Ghostly Flicker to make the targets illegal.
Slaughter Games hmmmmm only thing I can think of at the moment would be a Redirect I think that could work since you aren't "countering" it.
Detention Sphere I'd use (situation pending of course) ether Peel from Reality or Ghostly Flicker again or you'd side board a Naturalize to get rid of that nonsense! :D
At least that's what I can think of right meow!
@DarthTrevyn Excellent points. Nothing is more bothersome than to have a combo shut down just when you get it rolling.
I ended up taking out Laboratory Maniac . A single instant destroying/exiling him can turn Victory into Defeat. It may have happened to me. Your deck has a lot more answers though.
Great Deck, definite +1.
Just one quick suggestion: Maybe use Cackling Counterpart instead of Clone?
While the Clone won't interrupt your Primal Surge, the Counterpart is repeatable using the Archaeomancer combo. Infinite Craterhoofs/Elderscales/Thragtusks sounds pretty tasty to me.
I thought about that yes however I can bounce back Clone with Roaring Primadox. Thanks for the idea!

As a fellow tinkerer, I commend your creation. +1
Any thoughts on how to handle offensive exiles?
