Best color combo for extra turn?

Deck Help forum

Hey! I'm doing the Time Vault+Voltaic Key combo and I was wondering what color goes best with blue. My first thought was green because of the potential with Primordial Hydra and Scute Mob. But then there's black which could add more control and potential combos. I don't have a deck made yet. But if it helps I play casual :)

Blue has the most artifact search effects, Fabricate, Trinket Mage, etc.

Another thing that you can add is Unwinding Clock/Clock of Omens. While not being low CMC it does allow you to take effortless extra turns in another manner.

Derp, not Unwinding Clock. My bad, thought it said "each player" not "each opponent".

Clock of Omens though.

oh sorry I must have been misleading. I meant what color to go with blue!But Fabricate should help getting Voltaic Key or Time Vault faster :)

Wow there are much better things to be doing with infinite turns than screwing around with hydras...

I would go with white, but that is strictly out of personal preference. It does however work best as far as control with blue, giving you access to more board wipes and some pillow fort stuff so you can for sure last until your combo hits.

Well Primordial Hydra a 4,4 on turn three, but you have infinite turns so it ends the game in a few turns rather waiting for regular creatures to end it :).

Esper Artifacts are great for extra turns. My friend has an EDH deck built around it, though he doesn't use the combo you mentioned because Time Vault is banned.

I think I'll play the game by myself.

I cant think of many worse win conditions with the combo than a hydra. Eager Cadet would be a better win condition. Much less work

Esper artifacts seem fun, thanks :). Well Eager Cadet is easier to cast, but Primordial Hydra could end the game in 4 turns rather 20. Idk to each his own!
