this deck may be cheap but it is fun and hilarious to play with and against (mostly against). it took me about 2 years to master every combo AND I WAS THE ONE WHO BUILT IT but here is a primer

Combos

Settup

Before you can even start the combos you have to notice an important line of text "you may activate these abilities only once each turn", now that immediately turns off a lot of the combos so we need to find ways around it, Quicksilver Elemental is your go to answer. So let me explain how this works, it copies her ability's again allowing an additional activation due to the fact it is a SEPARATE ability, each time you activate it you double the number, that means with five activations you can get 32 versions of each of her ability's. That is really the only card your deck NEEDs to win the others it kinda just WANTs

The cards you WANT

the combos consist of but are not limited to: Anthroplasm + Sage of Hours : infinite turns- Cinderhaze Wretch + Tree of Perdition : kill you opponent- Coveted Jewel + Hateflayer : infinite damage- any mana rock that produces 2 or more mana,( Sol Ring , Basalt Monolith , Coveted Jewel , and Dreamstone Hedron ), + Pili-Pala : infinite mana- Gemstone Array + Magistrate's Scepter (this one needs more than 6 mana): infinite turns- and my overall favorite one is Mirror-Mad Phantasm under her and flipping your deck putting card:narcomeoba and Bloodghast into your graveyard, now just Dread Return card:labratory maniac: BEST WIN EVER

Gameplay

The gameplay is to use blink effects to get all your combo pieces and protection into exile, these effects also help her dodge removal and other things that can ruin your combo fun. even though your first instinct is to play out all your mana rocks you're going to want to conserve them for putting them inside of cages. play more conservatively. holding up mana and not playing out all of your non combo pieces at once is a really powerful way to play, although if aggro is more your direction you can win by turns 3-4 the average game if your meta is less controlling and interactive.

over all I love this deck, it is ridiculous and fun. have fun building your own!!
