Planeswalker (1)


Thank you blogman, for this beautiful picture

With the absolutely necessity of removing the silly "planeswalker unique rule", Wizards has opened the door for some really silly interactions with planeswalkers and Mirror Gallery. And as I thought it over in my head how to blow this out of proportion, it came to me; what could possibly be better than abusing this than to win with infinite copies of the single best planeswalker ever to be printed, Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded? I honestly couldn't think of any.

So here we are, going down the path of mirrors. Turns out, making a metric ass-ton of copies of planeswalkers requires a bit of work to set up (really no surprise there, you gotta work for your jank!). The first thing that came to mind that has an easy setup for copying stuff is Saheeli Rai, as it's easy enough to slap down a Mycosynth Lattice and shazzam! she instantly copies anything on the board, including herself. This is where the green and white come in with token doublers in the form of Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives (and doubling season, but that's just a win-more), that way, when we copy Saheeli with Mirror Gallery out, we have a copy to copy herself again, and whatever else we want on the board, including the big man himself, Tibalt! How do you win from there you say? Well all this mad science has to go somewhere, and Laboratory Maniac takes you there while Tibalt sets your library ablaze, giving you the right to a lifetime supply of maniacal laughter! What? Lab man is too easy for your taste? Then how about slapping down a Doubling Season and setting everyone else's hands on fire then with his -4? Still not enough? Ah, I see you are into the exquisite kind of combo that would make even the most up-tight Jonny shed a tear. How does using an Honor-Worn Shaku to slap all them fine Saheeli asses and using Karn, Silver Golem to animate all your Tibalts and run over your opponents with a hoard of devilmen sound? Sound like an absolute blast to me! And if you're not really into that kind of stuff, then Tibalt's almost-as-nearly-as-powerful-and-affordable friends can always end your opponents life with mirrors (sarkahn, the dragonspeaker, Gideon, Champion of Justice, Chandra, Pyromaster), hell, even Saheeli could do it herself, but that's not nearly as fun, now is it?

Problem with this combo is that outside of Saheeli, there aren't too many ways to make infinite copies of planeswalkers as easily. If Saheeli goes AWOL, then the backup plan for this deck is rather convoluted. You'll need an assortment of tools in Ghostly Flicker, Archaeomancer, Derevi, Empyrial Taction, Mirrorworks, Panharmonicon/Dual Nature, Gilded Lotus, Mycosynth Lattice, Mirror Gallery (if you're copying planeswalkers or Derevi), whatever you want to copy, and a bounce land. Could use a few more components in my opinion, it doesn't seem nearly fragile enough! And if you somehow can't pull that off, winning with planeswalker value is always an option; definitely a boring one, but always an option.

Cats weren't included in the making of this production so they wouldn't be harmed (Felidar Guardian). Vensers weren't included in the making of this production because he PALES in comparison to the ALMIGHTY TIBALT! As always, I thank you for the view of my jank, and if you have any suggestion on how to increase the jank levels to please the Tibalt, I am all ears!
