Exploring weird Reyhan interactions in competitive EDH.

Note - Not all these combos are currently in the list simultaneously but have been considered or will be tried in time.

Combos:

• Buried Alive (for nooze, devourer, ballista) + Reanimate spell = Pings opponents for the total cmc of your library

• Reyhan + Food Chain + Scourge = infinite pump/counters on all your dudes

• Reyhan + Phyrexian Devourer = infinite counters on one of your dudes (usually just 20 on your commander for 1 hit kill with Ishai; overload Devourer with counters so it dies, transfer to Ballista)

• Reyhan + Phyrexian Devourer + Walking Ballista = Kill all opponents (overload Devourer with counters so it dies, transfer to Ballista)

• Reyhan + Phyrexian Devourer + Sage of Hours = Take about 10 turns in a row (overload Devourer with counters so it dies, transfer to Sage)

• Linvala/Norn + Living Plane = Nerf all lands

• Defense of the Heart + Reyhan = Fetch Devourer + Ballista to overload devourer and transfer counters to Ballista for the kill. [Defense cut recently]

• Entomb + Reanimate = Turn 2 Papa Jin [Jin/Entomb cut recently]

• Deepglow Skate/Doubling Season + Narset, Transcendent = Lock all opponents out of non-creature spells [Cut Doubling Season recently]

• Birthing Pod + Academy Rector = Living Plane + Doomwake Giant : Wipe all opposing lands [Cut this package]

• Eldritch Evolution + Academy Rector = Living Plane + Doomwake Giant/Linvala = Nerf all opposing Lands [Cur Rector]

• Survival of the Fittest + Any creature in hand = pitch creature for Devourer, pitch Devourer for Walking Ballista, pitch Walling Ballista for Necrotic Ooze. Cast Necrotic Ooze for win.

Synergies:

• Ishai makes counters, Reyhan protects them by allowing transfer if she is killed or exiled. If doubling season is in play they double during transfer. You can use Chain of Vapor on your dudes to initiate the transfer, doubling each time. Or just attack with Ishai under a Rule of Law Effect.
