This is my first constructed deck since the first Innistrad block, so I'm pretty lost as far as all of these new cards go. Saw Aetherflux Reservoir while looking through the new set and wanted desperately to make something that would utilize this wonderful classically dumb magic card that auto-wins under some ridiculous condition a la Laboratory Maniac or Battle of Wits.
Main win condition is Aetherflux Reservoir + Paradoxical Outcome bounce and draw a whole bunch of 0 drops like Bone Saw, and play them all at once to get silly amounts of life. Then if you're confident you won't get squelched, blast away for an instant kill.
For instance, turn 4 Aetherflux Reservoir leading into turn 5 Chaplain's Blessing + 2x Bone Saw or
Cathar's Shield
or
Endless One
or Ornithopter into a Paradoxical Outcome then replay all of the 0 drops you just cast, you'll have gained 33 life.
Also, Paradoxical Outcome give you card draw on bounce, improving the chances you draw more 0 drops when you go off.
Ornithopter and
Endless One
s can be equipped and used as blockers if necessary against beat down decks.Not really sure how the current meta anymore is so I'm really looking for sideboarding help to make sure I can survive long enough to get the combo down and prevent counterspells from stopping the pieces altogether. Problem is I don't really know what sorts of counters/beatdown is used now-a-days.
Hope you guys like the deck, let me know what you think, and if there are any cards I need to watch out for in the meta! Pretty low budget to build too, if playtesting goes well I hope to bring it to FNM this week.
Edit: Took out the
Endless One
s and Chaplain's Blessing and replaced with Anticipate + Reverse Engineer, as the biggest issue I was facing with this deck was not drawing into the combo enough. Hopefully this should even out the deck a little.
