TERRA, HERALD OF HOPE - "RECURSION" V1.0 6.17.25

The idea was to get a precon deck and soup it up with a few spicy combos/interactions, and support from the years of MTG, or add other favorites from Final Fantasy. I never made a recursive strategy before, but I love the idea of Terra pulling value out of nothing. Every creature included is able to be pulled by Terra (save for Clive who is my big hitter) and contributes either by entering the battlefield triggers, or just being a problem in combat. I'm happy for any criticism or suggestions as always. (I'm still working on a silly name)

UPDATE V2.0 7.6.25

I'm considering removing more of the flavor cards (like Clive, and Sephiroth) to add more removal, Clive really doesn't work with the other synergies in the deck, and its fun to have him in, but a little more removal will make the deck more flexible, Sephiroth's sacrifice outlet is powerful, and useful in this deck, but the recursion in this deck is not strong enough to make his card take a slot currently.

UPDATE V2.1 7.19.25

I'm updating the Sunforger defense package to include Comeuppance, Generous Gift, and Volcanic Upheaval and subtracting Legions to Ashes, Harsh Sustenance and Moogles Valor.

COMBOS / INTERACTIONS:

Blasting Station + Celes, Rune Knight + Lesser Masticore = Infinite Ping | Essentially you'll need all three pieces on the field, the order of operations is as follows. Sacrifice Lesser Masticore to Blasting Station, then when the persist kicks in and Lesser Masticore comes back, the minus one/one counter will fall off due to Celes, Rune Knight's ability adding a plus one/one, (which will also go infinite). Then you continue to sacrifice Lesser Masticore again and again until every other player (or target) is eliminated.

NOTE: You can have a spicy infinite colorless mana combo here with Ashnod's Altar substituting for Blasting Station as well.

Fear of Missing Out + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker = Infinite Combat Steps | What's so especially fantastic about this is that one or both creatures can be in your graveyard and the combo is still available thanks to Terra, Herald of Hope's ability. The goal is to have both on the field, and then using Kiki-Jiki's ability to make a hasty FOMO token to attack and four or more card types in your graveyard to create another combat step... to just sacrifice the original token at the end of that step... and then create another one.

Mistveil Plains + Sunforger = Recycle Instant Spells | Pay one white to move any instant spell CMC 4 or less (assuming you already played it) to the bottom of your library, and use Sunforger's unequip ability by paying one white and red to search for and play the targeted instant.

Teferi's Protection + Worldfire = Exile All Opponents Permanents, Reduce All Opponents to 1 Life | First, tap all required mana before casting Worldfire, then cast Teferi’s Protection while Worldfire is on the stack. All of your permanents phase out, and your life total cannot change, but your hand is NOT a permanent, at that point Worldfire exiles all other permanents, and reduces all opponents life totals to one.

NOTE: You may also Sunforger into Teferi’s Protection, if not available in hand.
