I've finally done it. I've made a lot of gimmick FTK decks in my time, but honestly this is my favorite and probably most consistent. It doesnt hit turn one always, but if it doesn't the deck isn't screwed. It can still manage the combo second of third turn.Obviously this isn't the best FTK deck, but honestly I think its hilarious. Suggestions for efficiency would be appreciated. Please upvote if you like it!
The concept is simple: Have Hive Mind out and any of the pact cards. After you get out Hive Mind, the pacts can be used as follows:
The easiest way is to play
Pact of the Titan
or Summoner's Pact. If you do not have one of these pacts, if you have enough mana you try to get out another creature and Slaughter Pact it, or Pact of Negation one of your own spells.
There are a few ways to do this, and here they are in order of... niceness?:
1) Flash out
Academy Rector
, pull Hive Mind.
2) Show and Tell out Hive Mind.
3) Hard cast
Academy Rector
, Slaughter Pact it, pull Hive Mind.
4) Show and Tell
Academy Rector
and Slaughter Pact it, pull Hive Mind.
5) Hard cast Hive Mind
Try not to kill yourself with Spoils of the Vault, Street Wraith, and Gitaxian Probe. Accidentally kill yourself with a pact though? Walk it off.
If you really want to make this a legacy deck, you'd have to remove Flash. This actually only hurts the decks first method of getting out Hive Mind. 2)-5) are just as viable. So, you'd either need to add heavy draw or tutors of some kind so you get your Show and Tell, or massive amounts of ramp to just play
Academy Rector
or Hive Mind. The draw would likely be preferable, because you should be able to get more mana from your draws. However if it isn't enough straight mana may be better.
