Very nice. You could lose some control to this and add more scry and draw, and maybe Sylvan Caryatid . You could probably drop an Essence Scatter since you have four fog, and put in one more Omenspeaker .

Savage Summoning definitely for sideboard as a four of. Hell I think Prophet of Kruphix would also fit in here REALLY well.

What about Burst of Strength in addition to Triton Tactics ? It doesn't untap both, but it does give your little guys a permanent buff.

Well both of the creatures have to untap in order to do anything, but it also has to be only one mana. Otherwise I'd have suggested Hidden Strings .

problem with Prophet of Kruphix is he is a 5 drop meaning I will have to wait even long to combo off. Worst case scenario, it will eat a removal spell, which is nice, but other than that its effectiveness in this deck is rather slow. Izzet Charm is one of the best charms available as it can possibly counter, and well as let me draw two cards. Simic Charm also saves my board from a wipe, or can bounce a threat back to their hand if I run out of fogs. I think I need to add Savage Summoning x 4 to the main board, as it makes me combo off against aggro with 8 mana. Sylvan Caryatid I added as a 2 of to help ramp, but he might be not as effective as we are thinking.

I like this combo because a lot of people said that both Zhur-Taa Druid and Elite Arcanist are unplayable, and now you've made an infinite combo out of them! Just be careful not to let your Triton Tactics be countered when cast be Elite Arcanist .

so far I have run the deck against aggro builds, and it has taken a shit on them. lol. thinking about mainboarding some Dispel just to protect the combo. not sure yet though

sideboard changes deck into burn / mill, which they will not expect.

Nice combo.

Dorotheus says... #10

did you do FNM?

October 7, 2013 2:56 p.m.

Khanye says... #11

yes I did, but not with this deck, I should have just taken it to see how it fares...

You can use Karametra's Acolyte with devotion 2 or higher or a Gyre Sage with 2 or more +1/+1 counters instead of Zhur-Taa Druid for infinite mana.

Sorry, my computer appears to have had an episode and logged me out as I was commenting. The above post was me.

But Zhur-Taa Druid will continually fuel the damage it deals.

ya Zhur-Taa Druid wins by pinging

musicaddic365 says... #16

i would add Guttersnipe that way each time you do the combo it does 3 damage instead of one

October 9, 2013 5:43 a.m.

musicaddic365 says... #17

or Young Pyromancer for infinite tokens

Cut the guildgates, Prophet of Kruphix and Savage Summoning .

Add shocklands, Curse of the Swine and Omenspeaker .

I've been playing with this idea in my head for a little while now. I'm curious, how are you using Izzet Charm ? Dual spot removal and card cycling? I ran that charm in some RU decks pre rotation and found I always wanted something else when I drew it. Also, with 12 gates have you found yourself playing a turn behind due to so much land coming in taped? How has playtesting been?

I actually think Savage Summoning is really great here - you can bring in the Elite Arcanist on opponents 2nd main turn 4 assuming Zhur-Taa Druid is in play and combo out on turn 5.

the guildgates keep it budget friendly. I have not run into mana issues. literally just need 1 green open to keep fogging till I am ready to combo off. Savage Summoning helps with the combo. I love Izzet Charm , helps me dig. helps me shoot a threat, or counter something if they tap out. I was able to Izzet Charm a Sphinx's Revelation because he tapped out, felt glorious

Looks janky and fun. +1

October 11, 2013 11:43 a.m.

Khanye says... #23

thanks for the +1. its very fun. RDW hates it. :)

Khanye says... #24

is the Prophet of Kruphix worth including? or should i run Spellheart Chimera ?

basically the use for prophet in this deck is another source of Savage Summoning or to eat their removal.

Spellheart Chimera late game can be a bomb with so many instants being dumped into the yard

This deck is original as hell... why are you even running Maze's end in here? You can already overpower your opponent with incredible amounts of jank. +1 by the way, I would love to see this play out.
