See deck:Merlin’s Bread 2.0 for better survival and less consistent combo.
So the idea here is to stay alive long enough for a killing blow.
Basically don't play like most burn decks where you come out of the gates swinging. Instead do your best to control the battle field and buy some time.
Main combo has many ways to finish it but starts the same.
You will need - or you can do it with if you get
Gilded Lotus
or
Jaya Ballard
or
Chandra, Torch of Defiance
or with
Chandra, Bold Pyromancer
For starters you will need
Naban, Dean of Iteration
on the field. Would be nice to have
Siren Stormtamer
as well just for insurance.
Now its time to deal 16,24,or32 for -.
Cast
Insult / Injury
cast
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
. Her ability will proc twice and copy insult twice. Now with 3
Insult / Injury
in play your sources will deal 8 times their damage and it cant be prevented... Next you throw whats left in your hand at them.
Wizard's Lightning
Lightning Strike
and the best is
Ghitu Journeymage
as he will deal 2 twice and both will be multiplied by 8. And now you can claim to have thrown the most powerful 1 cost spell ever seen.
Second big Combo
Naban, Dean of Iteration
is still the main player here and needs to be on the field. Once again you will want to try and have
Siren Stormtamer
on the field as well to try and protect
Naban, Dean of Iteration
Cast three cards for this one,
Ghitu Journeymage
(can be on the field aready)+
Siren's Ruse
+
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
cast all and use the triggered abilities to copy
Siren's Ruse
twice exile
Ghitu Journeymage
then
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
for infinite Damage on the 2 dam proc dealing 2 each time.
Total cost of this is to so you will probably need to have
Gilded Lotus
out for this.
Combo Three infinite dam again
Naban, Dean of Iteration
is still the main player here and needs to be on the field. Once again you will want to try and have
Siren Stormtamer
on the field as well to try and protect
Naban, Dean of Iteration
This time Cast
Siren's Ruse
+
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
+ one of 3 spells you will need to cast other spell first to stack right if I am correct.
Shock
Lightning Strike
Wizard's Lightning
With this you will proc
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
ability twice each time and copy one of each
Siren's Ruse
and which ever one of the three you had for infinite damage again.
Cost is (unsure if this one will work, but it seems like it would. Problem is if the
Siren's Ruse
will resolve before Naru hits the field. But since naru has flash I believe it can hit the stack and copy. could use confirmation this would work.)
Combo 4 Infinite draw,mill your self to a card or so and confuse the enemy then follow it with an any other combo above lol
still on the field
Naban, Dean of Iteration
+
Siren Stormtamer
cast
Siren's Ruse
+
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
copy
Siren's Ruse
twice and target
Siren Stormtamer
then target
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
and draw till your hearts content.
Cost
Combo 5 infinite servo tokens
Repeat above but use either
Whirler Virtuoso
create infinite energy and spend infinite energy on infinite tokens.
Cost
Of all these combos I actually like the first the most as its funny for some reason to say BAM dead and you cant prevent it.
Get stupid and use
Helm of the Host
to copy Naban now you can copy 3 times and have 4 insults on the field and deal 16 times the damage. One wizards lightning will deal 48 unpreventable damage. Yes call it Zeus’s lighting bolt at this point lol. and one
Ghitu Journeymage
entering the field will proc 3 time for 2 multiplied by 16 for a total of 96 unpreventable damage.
Yes I know that its very gimmicky and keeping Naban on the field is going to be tough, especially once the opponent knows what you can do, but I figure that if it doesn't come together you still have a good chance to kill them straight up if you use insult with a couple wizards on the field and
Adeliz, the Cinder Wind
and follow it with injury that turn or next. I would think that would be enough to take control of the battle field most the time.
To hold them off throw
Adeliz, the Cinder Wind
with a couple little guys and
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
(if you end up with two in the hand) and cast a
Insult / Injury
you will swing for 10+ easy. use your
Wizard's Retort
Lightning Strike
Wizard's Lightning
to keep from getting over run. Just remember that your goal is to gather a
Naban, Dean of Iteration
+
Naru Meha, Master Wizard
and the rest will likely fall in place with several combinations of cards that will work for the win.
Please let me know your thoughts, any suggestions appreciated.
I have not tested this deck as I am missing a few copies of some of the cards but look forward to testing and will update after a few standard showdowns. Will be awhile since most places will be drafting like crazy for the next couple weeks.
