Welcome to cEDH! Is there a reason for not having Emiel the Blessed for dockside combos. Also, is there another card that combos with Kiki instead of Felidar Guardian? I was wondering if having a Village Bell-Ringer or Restoration Angel would be helpful in the deck.

If you want to drop a little money, Mondrak, Glory Dominus would make a much better 4-drop than Restoration Angel since there are synergies for him littered all over your deck; though I fully acknowledge that with this being a paper deck purchasing multiple copies of a brand new mythic legend of his power level will definitely set you back (which is why I made it a separate comment altogether).

Azoth2099 thanks for explaining the combo haha

Sure it's convoluted, but if it's the line/combo you like to go for then it's great!

I typically prefer "one card win conditions" like Rune-Scarred Demon/Hoarding Broodlord to tutor up Ephemerate to flicker and then go find either Buried Alive (entombing Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Restoration Angel, & Karmic Guide) + Reanimate or to just get Twinflame + Dualcaster Mage

While it doesn't win on the same turn, it allows you to try and hold up any sort of disruption like Pyroblast to combo off on your next turn!

TheRevelator Yeah, I ended up finding space for Hoarding Broodlord and Restoration Angel by cutting Imperial Recruiter and Recruiter of the Guard for better flavor and synergy! Easy choice once I realized, although I would love to find room for the recruiters in the future.

Ashnod's Altar and Disciple of the Vault are both part of one of this deck's Razaketh lines in addition to their other utility, but I admittedly would not be running them otherwise. The steps are as follows:

1. Cheat Razaketh into play via Kaalia

2. Sac Kaalia to Tutor for Dockside

3. Sack Dockside to Tutor for Reanimate (or Animate Dead/Necromancy)

4. Reanimate + Sac Dockside to Tutor for Corpse Dance

5. Corpse Dance + Sac Dockside twice to Tutor for Altar and Disciple

6. Loop it up!

Or you can just go with the Razakats strat if the aforementioned plan goes to pot.

Heavily considering Shadow-Rite Priest as another cheap piece that can activate the winning lines by sacrificing Kaalia and taking her place in the 1st step, but it's lack of Haste is a real downside.

Pretty convoluted, I know lol

Azoth2099 thanks for checking it out! Master of Cruelties does trigger with Kaalia thankfully! If unblocked, Master of Cruelties (due to First Strike) will "hit" the opponent first, setting their life total to 1. Then normal combat damage will happen from Kaalia which will kill them!

Restoration Angel is great as it's the primary combo piece with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and can also help flicker my tutor creatures like Rune-Scarred Demon & Hoarding Broodlord.

And I am playing Karmic Guide - it's part of the combo with Buried Alive & Reanimate :)

Great list TheRevelator! I am confused as to why you're running Master of Cruelties though, as it's ability doesn't trigger when cheated out via Kaalia. Restoration Angel is an amazing include, how has it playtested? Also, have you considered Karmic Guide?

You might wanna take out 4 lands and put in 2 Felidar Guardian and 2 Restoration Angel as it a possible infinite blink combo and 24 lands is a lot in modern. Either way looks like a fun deck.

I feel like the swarm of blink stuff is actually filling a void that was created when the bounce-line was started, connecting the dots between the old Boomerang-like cards and Restoration Angel. The good news is I think we’re approaching that vacuum being filled. I feel like there will be a consistent anti-PW stream, with a potential spike if there’s another War of the Spark type of event/plot. The one thing I worry (for lack of a better term) about is WotC’s apparent hesitancy to “ruin people’s fun” by “not letting people play with their planeswalkers” (see: legend rule change). As we swerve deeper into the solitaire style of play it could result in less of that “break other people’s board states” than we would want. //shrug//
