Spring 2018 Card Swaps —April 1, 2018
Expropriate => Flusterstorm
:
Expropriate is way too expensive and the deck can use some more interaction.
I'm also contemplating Chain Vapor for this slot.
Quicksilver Amulet => Food Chain:
Riku's copied creature tokens have a cmc.
Coalition Relic => Mana Vault:
Coalition Relic is great for color fixing, but Mana Vault is just better.
Mystic Snake => Venser, Shaper Savant:
More catch all creature counter
Woodfall Primus => Squee, the Immortal:
Inf creature mana with Food Chain
Oracle of Mul Daya => Thrasios, Triton Hero:
Helps dig, which has been more needed than ramp
Alchemist's Refuge => Mana Confluence:
Colored mana is nice.
Greater Good => Blue Sun's Zenith:
Greater good is an amazing card in the fact that it protects from exile and can draw me cards, however I believe the added wincon and situational draw at instant speed of blue sun will help me out more. Here's to testing
Leyline of Anticipation => Mana Crypt:
Leyline is a cool card but crypt can accelerate me that much faster. Another potential swap is Nexus of Fate *list*. Been testing both and not sure which is better in the deck just yet.

It's due to how you stack the triggers.
Have Riku out
-Cast palinchron
-Palichron enters battlefield
-Two triggers enter the stack (palinchron and rikus copy creature ability)
-Stack so palichron happens first then rikus.
-Untap 7 lands then resolve rikus ability tapping two lands for ability, 5 for pool.
-Copy enters the battlefield and triggers palinchron ability untaps 7 lands.
-Pay 4 Mana to return real palinchron to hand. Rinse, repeat
So you gain a net of 1 Mana each cycle and can do it infinitely if no one stops you, while also getting infinite palinchrons

Mirage Mirror would be phenomenal for him if it entered the battlefield. Since it does not, I don't think it really fits here because I'll then rely on someone else to play something worth copying and can't abuse it with Riku. I'll throw it in though and test it out to see if it's better than I'm thinking. The card is a monster in my Sakashima the Impostor clone tribal deck though :)
