Ornithopter Maniac of Nature (Self Mill)

Legacy Combo GU (Simic) Mill

qk1


Sideboard


Turn 1: Forest, tap for Glimpse of Nature, then cast a (0) cost creature, like Ornithopter, and draw a card. Cast another, drawing into more of them. Continue to cast those you draw, and as such, continue to draw.

As the chain reaction continues, use the Lotus Petals you've drawn to cast another Glimpse of Nature, bringing your cards-per-Memnite (CPM) to 2. And then to 3 or 4, as needed, as you inevitably draw your other two Glimpses.

If you find yourself stalling, cast Retract, and all of your artifacts will return to your hand. This way, you can cast them again, effectively doubling your CPM (except for those silly Crimson Kobolds , they stay put). Retract effectively untaps your Mox Opals as well.

Then, (dramatically waiting until you're drawing your last few cards from your deck), use the Mox Opals to cast Laboratory Maniac. Then cast a Frogmite after your library is empty, and the Lab Maniac wins you the game.

All of this on one turn.


I would suggest a mulligan if you don't have a Glimpse of Nature in your opening hand, as well as a Lotus Petal or a land to cast it, and at least three Phyrexian Walkers or what-have-you, to start your engine of madness.

Also, if you win the coin flip, draw first instead of playing first. In this deck, the more cards you have, the better chance you have of "going off" and avoiding a stall-out.

If you have to wait for turn 3 or 4, don't cast your creature spells. Discard the lands you can't lay down, or your Kobolds or (X)-cost creatures.

So far, it seems to work fairly consistently without a tutor, but I could add a Personal Tutor to get Glimpse of Nature, or splash black for Diabolic Intent.

The sideboard is for fun: turn the deck into a crazy colorless weeny army, in case a Force of Will or Duress kills your combo.
