Behold, the new recipe by the Demon Chef of Kamigawa -- blood soup! Containing a unique blend of spices and mystery ingredients, this soup actively gets bloodier as you eat it! Huh, wonder what causes that? (it's full of sharp and rusty metal)

fun combos n' scHET

basically some attempts to validate the decision of making shimatsu the commander (and other things found during that process)

• Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked + Wildfire > tap out and sac all lands/creatures that would die to Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked, then burn the board
• Destructive Force + Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked > tap out and sac all lands/creatures that would die to Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked, then burn the board
• Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked + Spiteful Repossession > late game powerhouse that easily generates 20+ tokens
• Mycosynth Lattice + Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked + Summoning Station > 1:1 conversion of board into 2/2 little men. combo will become 5000% more powerful once the cowards at WoTC create Splinter tokens. for now i will use pocket lint or live worms
• Summoning Station + Mycosynth Lattice + Brotherhood's End > heard ya like 2/2's
• Mycosynth Lattice + Dockside Extortionist > lots of treasures for big shimatsu. get em big enough and Chandra's Ignition can kill
• Mycosynth Lattice + Cavern-Hoard Dragon > lots of treasures
• Mycosynth Lattice + Generous Plunderer > large damage. huge even
• Mycosynth Lattice + Karn, the Great Creator > the classic. can help with a proper lock after Wildfire
• Mycosynth Lattice + Brotherhood's End + Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked > y'know the drill, sac everything that would die to make a big Shimatsu, then nuke everything
• Mycosynth Lattice + Nettlecyst, Karn, Scion of Urza or Urza's Saga for a big ole creature
• Nettlecyst, Karn, Scion of Urza or Urza's Saga + The Reaver Cleaver > incrementally larger man
• Dino DNA + Dockside Extortionist > true infinite i guess? makes infinite extortionists, treasures, etc... with Academy Manufactor out this just wins the game, make infinite treasures > draw until Chandra's Ignition > chandra's on a massive Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked
• a big Dockside Extortionist > Kuldotha Forgemaster > Clock of Omens can do stuff... might include Erratic Portal for another true infinite, with Matzalantli, the Great Door   or Academy Manufactor could sift through the deck, find Repercussion and Reverberate Shatterskull Smashing   to burn ppl out? or just make an infinitely large Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked and Chandra's Ignition lol
• Repercussion + Blasphemous Act > Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked can ensure u only take 13 damage
• Repercussion + Reckless Endeavor > Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked same as above
• Experimental Frenzy + Sensei's Divining Top > 1 generic draw a card, poggers!
• Sensei's Divining Top + Etali, Primal Storm > kinda works
• Sensei's Divining Top + Hit the Mother Lode > same as above, lets you choose between potentially a large spell and a few treasures or just 9 treasures
• Sensei's Divining Top + Spark of Creativity > really nice early game for getting an otherwise uncastable card off the top of the deck while also killing a creature

blahblah

I was browsing magic art last night, looking for illustrations that represented strength, determination, or a frenzy which naturally lead back to the Kamigawa block. A few artists later and I ended up at Pain Kami. What's not to love? The art features a screaming starfish fella surrounded by mouth spirits, and the flavor text is a quote from an akki. I have an appreciation for creatures lacking features like eyes & noses so I was immediately drawn to the little fellas. The one on the bottom of the artwork looks like he's a good bit calmer than his buddies. "Beeeeh... I dunno 'bout this, guys. we've been, like, yellin' at these guys for 10 minutes and my voice is starting to fade. can we give it a break? I don't think they're in on this and I need some vitamin water." Maybe he'd just float off. Are these spirits surrounded by blood or nerve endings...? I dunno, but living with exposed nerve endings would make me shout all the time too.

Anyways, I don't think they'd work well as either a rule 0 commander or a pauper one. Both would be rough... after a bit more searching though I remembered Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked, who also has little mouth fellas in their artwork! Their design interested me back when I started playing for their ability to directly sacrifice any type of permanent en-masse, but red had far less tools then than it does now. Anyways, the current state of magic makes me confident that a playable, maybe even "good" build of Shimatsu can be made, and that's what I'm going for here. Goldfishing has been pretty solid thus far, will see how it does in standard 4p.

General gameplan so far is getting 9-10 mana then floating it all before playing Shimatsu the Bloodcloaked > Wildfire or Destructive Force. Or just amassing treasures with any of red's dumb new options. Matzalantli, the Great Door   can get around the normally very relevant downside of sacrificing every land the deck has in play, and Spiteful Repossession (copied 1-2x, ideally) and Repercussion combos can do stuff too...
