Win as early as turn 3 or 4!

There are many OTK combos in this deck. This deck is a variation from decks that uses Kiln Fiend and Nivix Cyclops .

The Beamsplitter Combo:

Turn 1: Play Blistercoil Weird

Turn 2: Play Beamsplitter Mage

Turn 3: With 3 mana and 4 cards in hand, we just need 2-3 instant or sorcery cards. Note that Slip Through Space can be cast first to draw 2 cards for 1 mana in order to get the necessary cards. ALWAYS target Beamsplitter Mage with these spells.

The First Spell: Steroids

• Cast Brute Force or Titan's Strength (Scry 2 because of Beamsplitter Mage ) Note that Titan's Strength can be cast first if you have Slip Through Space in hand so that you could Scry 2, then draw 2.

The Second Spell: Double Strike.

There are now 2 creatures that have +3 power because of Beamsplitter Mage . Now give both of them Double Strike too using Assault Strobe ! Psychotic Fury can be considered in this deck, but the 2cmc is too risky if the opponet has blockers. On the other hand, you draw 2 cards from it because of Beamsplitter Mage .

You can win at this point if the opponent doesn't have blockers. Here's the sequence:

• Blistercoil Weird Prowess trigger twice, making it 3/3. It has +3/+3 from any of the Steroid cards and Double Strike from Assault Strobe , making Blistercoil Weird a 6/6 creature with Double Strike on turn 3. Plus, he also untaps if a blocker is needed next turn...

• Beamsplitter Mage is now a 5/5 creature with Double Strike.

• That is 22 damage on 3rd turn. If they have blockers, cast the next spell.

The Third Spell: Unblockable If they have blockers, playing one of any of these cards is mandatory.

• This card can be cast first if the card draw is needed: Slip Through Space gives both creatures Unblockable and has 2 card draws for 1 mana.

• Distortion Strike gives both creatures +1 power, Unblockable, and it can be cast for FREE in the next turn.

• Apostle's Blessing Pay 2 life so you could cast this for 1 colorless mana. This will make a creature unblockable. You can also cast this card last because it is a good response against removal or burn like Fatal Push or Lightning Bolt . Sideboard it against mono-red burn or against colorless creatures, Mizzium Skin can be added to the deck.

The Kiln Fiend Combo:

Turn 1: Play Siren Stormtamer this card is good for protecting Kiln Fiend . Plus, it can hit for 1 in the air.

Turn 2: Play Kiln Fiend

Turn 3: With 3 mana and 4 cards in hand, we just need 2-3 instant or sorcery cards. Buff Kiln Fiend with spells and protect it with Siren Stormtamer .

• Cast Assault Strobe

• Cast Brute Force or Titan's Strength (Scry 1.) Kiln Fiend 's ability will trigger twice making it a 10/5 creature with Double Strike on turn 3!

You can win at this point if the opponent doesn't have blockers. If the opponent has blockers, cast the spells that will make him Unblockable as mentioned earlier.

• If Kiln Fiend is targeted by removal or burn, use Siren Stormtamer 's ability or cast Apostle's Blessing .
