Kairi, the Swirling Sky
Legendary Creature — Dragon Spirit
Flying, ward (Whenever this becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays .)
When this dies (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield), choose one —
- Return any number of target nonland permanents with total mana value/converted mana cost 6 or less to their owners' hands.
- Mill six cards, then return up to two instant and/or sorcery cards from your graveyard to your hand. (To mill six, put the top six cards of your library into your graveyard.)

Lazav and Gyruda (Companion): Doom Mind
6 months ago
May 3, 2024, I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.
Aug 15
Lazav and Gyruda (Companion): Doom Mind win, long game vs Evan's The Fifth Doctor, Rob's Bruenor Battlehammer and Blaine's Gods, bringing my record to 22-26-1. Bringer of the Last Gift finally won a game after my early Vilis, Broker of Blooddrew me a ton of cards, like 20, plus Kairi, the Swirling Sky held down the fort; and a late Altar of Dementia for self-mill sealed the deal for Bringer of the Last Gift to bring out an overwhelming number of powerful creatures. Win percentage goes to .458

Kairi, the Swirling Sky gets my vote. Clone her, watch the clones die to the legend rule, rack up death triggers to boop everything back to opponents hands or recur spells.
I love that deck on Arena.

Lazav and Gyruda (Companion): Doom Mind

Added Kairi, the Swirling Sky to the deck, so added a combo around her. Still haven't won with the combo, though, it's too convoluted and unwieldy to pull off easily: Turnabout for mana advantage, Altar of Dementia, and Stitch Together to repeat until everyone has milled out and I will have infinite mana with access to all of my instants and sorceries, e.g. Dredge the Mire

Lazav and Gyruda (Companion): Doom Mind

Lazav had such a good day. He got to be a Champion of Rhonas, cheating out a Kokusho, the Evening Star then, in the same attack, becoming an Old Gnawbone. Seven treasures made but exerted, he then got to enjoy the power of being Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, so, getting to be relevant while tapped and exerted. He got a whiff of what it would be like to be an Emrakul, the Promised End but even though that was not meant to be, Lazav ended the game happy; content in sacrificing other creatures for significant benefit, especially Kairi, the Swirling Sky

I have a Kairi, the Swirling Sky deck on Arena that I love and this deck is just like that one but with black! Definitely one of the more interesting team-up cards from MOM. Thanks for the inspiration!

You are correct that you can choose the same targets for each Kairi, the Swirling Sky trigger and the ability simply fail to resolve rather than force you into the other mode (and you won't be able to choose the other mode after the trigger is added to the stack). As veritablecvn pointedd out you are also free to choose the first mode with 0 targets, even if there were not creatures to return.

I run a dragon clone deck, and an interesting interaction came up recently.
This was specifically regarding Kairi, the Swirling Sky, but could apply to any creature with mandatory death triggers.
If I have 1000 copies of Kairi, and an opponent board wipes, how do the triggers work?
For Kairi, I have the option of bouncing targets, or milling myself. My question is if I don't want to deck myself out, but I have no valid targets to select, do I have to choose the mill option?
My understanding was when all the triggers go onto the stack at the same time, I can select the option, and if I choose the target option, I select the targets when the trigger goes onto the stack. If I do this for every trigger, I could select the same targets 1000 times, and after the first resolves, the remaining items on the stack would just disappear because they no longer have legal targets.
Is this correct, or do all the "select mode" triggers go onto the stack, and then I have to make a selection for each resolving, which then that trigger immediately goes onto the stack?
