I am thinking Sensei's Divining Top or Scroll Rack would both be more useful than Wishclaw Talisman. I can see switching a single-use spell as well in order to include both.

Maybe make room for Brago, King Eternal as a fallback in case you can't keep Aminatou on the board.

Hope this is useful!

TypicalTimmy yeah dude, "combo" is short for "combination", like a combination of cards. Flexing knowledge and then giving two identical definitions and then stressing the difference between them hasn't actually transmitted any underlying concepts of deckbuilding or game knowledge.

"Combos are when you use one card to interact with another card to gain benefit, then use that benefit to interact with another card."

"synergy means several cards interact with one-another, allowing tighter play"

Just to be clear, you define both as multiple cards interacting with each other. You should try to be more clear than just saying "tighter play" in your definition too, which is another term you would have to define for someone not familiar. I appreciate you trying to spread knowledge, but if anything I think you have obfuscated meaning with overbearing usage of jargon.

To respond to your actual post though, asking him to remove Golos from the equation is silly. Citadel utilizes topdeck manipulation just as well as Golos, and the 5 color access means a Golos deck has every tool available for its own synergy, as well as a Citadel combo. Its much better to add a few more pieces like Sensei's Top or Scroll Rack instead of suggesting to drop the Golos entirely, especially since the OP wishes to run high CMC bombs like Omniscience and Vilis, which can come in for free off Golos activations.

Mr_X_Lewis To respond to you specifically, yes this combo does require a lot of set up. It is also a lot of cards and mana used for a combo that doesn't explicitly win the game for you.

You can make hitting your combo much easier and much better with topdeck manipulation cards. Sensei's Divining Top can combo with Citadel, but it also is strong with Golos even outside Citadel combo. Scroll Rack allows you to put your hand on top, which means you can plop 3 huge spells right on top for a Golos activation. Brainstorm is another great way to manipulate the topdeck from the cards in your hand and set up Golos plays. Cheap to cast cards with scry like Preordain or Serum Visions are also neat ways to set up Golos, but obviously aren't as reusable as other methods.

If you're looking for a winning combo with Citadel + Sensei's Top, please look at Aetherflux Reservoir . You can keep replaying Sensei's Top off the top to build up massive storm, and then zap players down after you've built up a huge life total.

+1 for Yennett!

I'd recommend including more Top of Library Manipulation cards and cards that allow you to return Bombs you draw to the top of the library. You can consider some of these:

Scroll Rack

Conch Horn

Penance

Agonizing Memories

Hidden Retreat

Thanks for the suggestions and the compliment, Agrothorn! I've definitely looked at Scroll Rack and Sensei's Divining Top , but like you mentioned, they're so expensive. I even have a couple of searches saved on eBay for these. I definitely like the idea of using Quietus Spike . I currently run it in my Swiss Army Kitten deck and seem to have some success with it. If I were to add 1 or more of these suggestions, what would you recommend I pull?

Awesome deck! Very impressive for only playing for a short while! Welcome to the game How about Scroll Rack (wow, these have got got expensive!). Sensei's Divining Top should work well too

I always like to try and sneak in a Quietus Spike on an unblockable. Maybe a few other equipment will be useful.

I'm trying to think of a way to put a card from your hand (with a high mana cost) on top of your deck frequently, but coming up short on an idea.

Have fun!

Hi all,

i am making a Atla Palani, Nest Tender EDH deck. does anyone know of any effects that i can put cards from my hand back on top or back in my library somehow??

i have a Scroll Rack but that's all i know of that would fit in a NAYA deck. damn you blue!!! ive thought about Sneak Attack & Ilharg, the Raze-Boar for effects to cheat out the big creatures that i draw but thats all i know of. since the idea of this deck is to keep my big creatures in my deck to cheat out with atla.

any help would be much appreciated!! thanks!

Since $500 isn't reasonable for everyone, I thought it may be good to include some substitutions to allow a lower budget. See below for a few changes to consider that will decrease the cost while maintaining the basic strategy the deck. Please note that prices are current and will likely change.

---

Creatures:

Remove: (~$57.00) Brazen Borrower , Sakashima the Impostor

Substitute: (~$0.34) Universal Automaton , Wingcrafter

Lands:

Remove: (~$110.00) Drowned Catacomb , Morphic Pool , Mutavault , Polluted Delta , Shizo, Death's Storehouse , Watery Grave

Substitute: (~$5.50) Ash Barrens , Dismal Backwater , Exotic Orchard , Fetid Pools , Mystic Sanctuary , Rogue's Passage , Salt Marsh

Enchantments:

Remove: (~$38.25) Bitterblossom

---

These changes will reduce the cost by $200... for deeper cuts, things to look at would be:

Remove: (~$85.00) Lotus Petal , Mox Amber and Scroll Rack

Substitute: (~$14.00) Arcane Signet , Dimir Signet , Ponder

---

Cost with all changes: $230

Experimental Frenzy + Scroll Rack or Sensei's Divining Top

I really like mono red’s recent formS of card advantage.
