Hi everyone,
First off: this deck was inspired by another tappedout posted deck.Namely G/U/B Infinite Inspired by Dalaxies
If you compare the builds, you'll find a lot of credit actually goes to his deck idea. This is somewhat more of my version of the deck. Eliminating green from the lands however made room for somewhat more reliable transmutation (which i found to be the more appealing part of the deck) aimed to improve it's consistency.
So the game plan is to create an infinite combo using
Servant of Tymaret
or
Siren of the Silent Song
with Freed from the Real + Paradise Mantle
giving them limitless tapping/untapping to ping or mill opponents to death.
Alternative wincon is Kiora's Follower equipped with Illusionist's Bracers as it also has great combo potential with the mana/tap engine (although this wincon requires more preperation to set up)
Disciple of Deceit
basically gives you a free Transmute every time he untaps and Far / Away has cmc 2/3 so it can be discarded to get just about any missing combo piece. Since the hardest thing is to aquire Paradise Mantles I added Springleaf Drums to take over if used with the bracers-equipped follower. (The drums can be transmuted into
Retraction Helix
and vice versa)
The Deck relies on the combo exclusively to win.Counterspells and bounce try to stall until you're ready to go.Also, emptyhanded opponents love the Kiora's Follower
+
Retraction Helix
+
Siren of the Silent Song
removal combo. :)
At the moment I am conducting extensive playtesting on the build. A sideboard will be added after conclusions have been drawn according to the problems I might encounter in the games ahead.
The build also consists of the cards I actually own. I am aware there are a lot of other choices available for lands.You may point those out for me, since my knowledge in manabaseconstruction is actually limited, but note however, that this deck doesn't try to be high-competitive.It is supposed to be a fun deck to play that has a somewhat stylish wincon. Also I'd like to keep it modern and budget. Suggestions on how to effectively protect the combo (main- or sideboard) and improve consistency are very welcome.
I hope you like the idea and visit and upvote Dalaxies original build as well.
Thanks.
