AN ARCHIVE OF MY JANK, TAKEN AWAY BY RULES COMMITTEE

Paradox Engine Combo Squee

How does it feel to play?

This has been one of the most enjoyable combo decks I have crafted so far. The combo very rarely comes out of nowhere so it isn't very hard for your opponent to put you back, one of the main complaints of traditional combo decks.

It is casual and takes a long time to get going, but is very scary in the late game when you get to use reds graveyard effects to your advantage. Earliest win so far in practice is turn 4 (due to an opponent using a wheel) but the deck typically would win around turn 8 when it does win.

So the main combo of this deck is going to be paradox engine which we will use the large array of artifact tutors, or potentially looting effects, to grab out of the deck and play. That is far from the only combo though as there is many ways to out value the cast of Squee such as (ashnods altar/any Ruby Medallion effect + Desecrated Tomb/Genesis Chamber + Thermopod/Skirk Prospector).

Secondary combo in Mycosynth Lattice by reducing the cost of Squee by allowing generic mana to pay for him. This means that you can use one of the non-red reliant cost reducers and ashnods to go Infinate

Grinning Ignus is the safeguard in case Squee is somehow not under your control or grafdigger's cage is in play, he has a very similar effect when paired with the Mycosynth Lattice or Paradox engine combo, however he does not require a sac outlet which sometimes makes him better than Squee.

The deck will continue to change as play testing continues, if you think any card may be missing that would be useful in the deck feel free to tell me. (The deck does have somewhat of a budget, thus the reason fast mana rocks aren't present)
