I definitely like the idea of her sadistic entertainment. It might be worth it on flavor alone!

But I recently cut Magewright's Stone from the deck because the effect was not as necessary as I had thought it might be. I kept the Thousand-Year Elixir for the addition of haste and the Thornbite Staff being able to automatically untap her, too.

I like this idea. It reminds me of the old Presence of Gond or Turntimber Ranger combo lists.

I feel like getting redundant options for ivy lane is the most important thing - Blade of the Bloodchief +sac outlet will let you get a lot of sacrifices in, Rite of Passage / Urban Daggertooth , Thornbite Staff and Blasting Station will get a lot of etb triggers. Triskelion and Death's Presence exist. Fecundity has been a combo staple for a while. Llanowar Reborn offers a way to get the first counter on herd.

Altar of the Brood is a neat alternative wincon.

If you want to go the old Turntimber Ranger route, there are more changeling options, and alternative lines like Deeproot Elite to take advantage of whichever changeling effect you are using.

Maybe spice it up then. Here are some of my combo lines:

• Thornbite Staff + Ashnod's Altar lets you produce infinite eggs and put all your creatures on the table. Cycling an eldrazi titan over and over kills with purphoros triggers.

• Runed Stalactite + Ashnod's Altar lets you cycle through your deck until you find the desired creature or killed everyone with purphoros triggers.

• Runed Stalactite + Mirror Entity also kills the table with purphoros triggers when you activate entity for 0 just often enough by holding priority.

• Mirror Entity + Ashnod's Altar lets you cycle again through your deck similar to stalactite and altar combo while also producing infinite colorless mana that can be used to make all your creatures huge with entity. Also infinite Purphoros triggers.

• Maskwood Nexus + any free sac outlet like Ashnod's Altar , Goblin Bombardment or Blasting Station : infinite damage with Purphoros triggers again. Also additional infinite damage on creatures with station and bombardment and infinite colorless mana with altar.

Terror of the peaks works instead of purphoros too

Well you miss some key cards and combo enablers here like Thornbite Staff and a few other that enable combo wins. You should consider dropping polyraptor for one of them since there’s a good chance that polyraptor + marauding raptor loses you the game. You got a few sac outlets to prevent that but there’s still quite a risk that you won’t have one when it happens.

Also who’s telling you that a mid-power deck isn’t casual anymore when it has a combo in it?

Ooh Priest of Urabrask and Thornbite Staff look fun. I already made a rough draft of the deck, but your suggestions are gonna be very helpful for refining it.

Thanks enpc!

If the plan is to recycle creatures with Feldon, then equipping him with Thornbite Staff seems like the easiest solution. Then you can copy cards like Myr Battlesphere (as was recommended earlier) and just run Phyrexian Altar . This will make an infinite number of battlespheres that all have haste.

Similarly, you could use cards like Impact Tremors to win on the spot with any loops that don't net gain you creatures or mana (so in a combo with something like Priest of Urabrask and some sacrifice altar).

Thornbite Staff is a strong one with Krenko. These might interest you too: Thermopod , Umbral Mantle , Mana Echoes , Ogre Battledriver

You could use Psionic Gift as a way to tap your boss. There are a few more blue cards like that, a couple artifacts (like Thornbite Staff ) but I'm not familiar with any black enchantments like that. Green has one that creates a 1/1 elf but elves are NOT turtles.
