Welcome to Esix, Fractal Bloom!

I've written up a little mini primer to highlight some of the main ideas / combos in the deck.

The Infinite Combo

Just to beef up the power level of the deck should we encounter a high powered playgroup, I've added a sneaky Infinite turns loop. The combinations of cards required for the loop are as follows:

Esix, Fractal Bloom + Mycoloth + Timestream Navigator

Awakening Zone + Esix, Fractal Bloom + Timestream Navigator

The nature of both combos are the same.

The field as it passes to your turn should have, Esix, Fractal Bloom, Timestream Navigator and either Awakening Zone or Mycoloth.

  • At the beginning of your upkeep, Awakening Zone or Mycoloth will trigger creating their respective token (Either an Eldrazi or a Saproling

  • Esix then triggers, causing the created token to enter the battlefield as a copy of Timestream Navigator

  • Activate the original Timestream Navigator, putting Timestream Navigator on the bottom of your library leaving you with a token copy on the battlefield ready to copy and activate next turn.

Token Shenanigans

The best cards for Esix's ability, in my opinion, are Avenger of Zendikar, Deep Forest Hermit and Master of Waves.

For example: Say our Board State is Esix, Fractal Bloom, a few of our mana rocks and 7 lands.

In this scenario, our board state ends as such:

1x Esix, Fractal Bloom

8x Avenger of Zendikars

49x 0/1 Plant Tokens! After playing a land for turns our 0/1s will all become 8/9s!! Feisty little Broccolis

When you add a Mystic Reflection things get a little crazy 🤪

Say we had the same starting board state as the above scenario: Esix, Fractal Bloom, a few mana rocks and 7 lands, but this time we add a foretold Mystic Reflection!

Now here's where the magic happens

  • We activate our Foretold Mystic Reflection

  • This will have us create 6 lots of 7 Plant tokens (42) from 6 of those Avengers and another 7 Avenger of Zendikars from the last remaining trigger

In the end, our board state will be as follows:

1x Esix, Fractal Bloom

15x Avenger of Zendikars

91x 0/1 Plant tokens with the potential to be whopping 15/16s after a land is played for turn 😱

Other choices

I've included a package of Eldrazi creature that create tokens upon entering the battlefield. These tokens are handy as they can ensure that we trigger Esix, Fractal Blooms ability when we need to or ramp us towards casting our bigger creatures as the Eldrazi Scion / Spawn tokens they create can be sacrificed for colourless mana when we need it!

The removal package of Beast Within, Pongify and Rapid Hybridization play a double role in the deck. They can serve to remove opponents threats, or you can use them to help yourself generate a token to replace with Esix, Fractal Blooms ability by blowing one of your own things up!

In the 'maybe' section, you'll find counterspells I would play if I could afford them IRL 😅
