  5. Turn 2 Win

    Have your first 8 cards be: Sacred Foundry, Simian Spirit Guide, Sacred Foundry, Desperate Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual , Goblin Charbelcher, Wild Cantor .
    T1: Play Sacred Foundry untapped and exile Simian Spirit Guide. Then play Desperate Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual , Goblin Charbelcher, and Wild Cantor . Pass turn
    T2: Play Sacred Foundry untapped. Sacrifice your Wild Cantor and tap your two Sacred Foundrys to actiivate Goblin Charbelcher's ability and reveal ten cards before revealing a Sacred Foundry!
    This deck does't win on turn 2. Instead, it usually wins on Turns 6-8, sometimes completely out of nowhere!


    Card Choices


    When building my deck, I needed cards that would give me mana. That includes rituals, but mana rocks are more important. Please do not suggest rituals unless the difference they will make for the deck is huge.

    The Choices:


    Searches up Goblin Charbelcher all day long. Additionaly, it can get Memnite or Ornithopter. So important.
    A two mana rock that taps for one of most colors (and most of the cards are colorless). Printed in 9th Edition (just in case anybody was wandering).
    Looks at people's hands, tells me whether it's safe to go off, and draws me a card. All for free.
    The combo piece. Not running less than 4.
    Ramps me up mana. It lets me pitch Memnites and Ornithopters or my Mana Myrs for mana here and now. That can be useful when you can cast a Goblin Charbelcher now and activate it next turn even without the Memnite or Mana Myr.
    They're both Mountains to double the damage output. White is for Tempered Steel SB and blue is for Fabricate.
    There are so many times where I suspend Lotus Bloom turn 1 and I win turn 4. It speeds me up by two or three turns. And three mana is the exact number to activate Goblin Charbelcher.
    It gives me back my mana and it draws me a card. What more could I ask from it?
    Mana Myrs are two mana for a lasting 1. I will usually go something like Ritual, Ritual, Myr, Myr. I traded 4 mana this turn for two mana next turn, and two mana the turn after that. That is so worth it with this deck. And they can be pitched to Infernal Plunge.
    It costs two and gives one back every turn. In addition, it can sac to draw me a card if I need it to (but I usually keep it around).
    It draws me a card, being sure I get the Goblin Charbelcher as soon as I can, and it scrys, so I know what I'm drawing or what I'm not drawing.
    Lands 5-8, except they don't count as lands when we're checking that for Goblin Charbelcher.
    Rituals are good...in moderation. I run 7 instead of the full 8 because they're a one-shot effect. While that's good, my deck doesn't win from them, so I don't run all of them. I run 4 Desperate Ritual over 4 Pyretic Ritual because there's the remote chance desperate ritul can get spliced (it means going from 4 to 6 and 6 to 7 instead of 4 to 5).
    This card does everything. It gives you mana, filters mana, and even blocks! All for one red mana.
    . These creatures do two things for me. They a) gum up the board and can block Wild Nacatls for a turn, and b) are fodder for Infernal Plunge. It's as good as can be for a creature with zero mana cost.


    Sideboard:


    The sideboard is pretty self-explanitory. 10 lands buffs us up to 14, which isn't a lot, but half your deck is mana rocks, so you should be OK. Then Kuldotha Rebirth and Tempered Steel help you win with your mana rocks.


    Thanks for reading. Comment, +1, anything.
