Chulane, Teller of Tales

Deck by Joseph of Casually Competitive

The goal of this deck is to ramp early with mana dorks, control the board with artifact hate and general counters / blue control spells, get value from Chulane, Teller of Tales' ability, and eventually combo off through one of the following lines

Combos

Cloudstone Curio Line

Pre-reqs

Loop

  1. Play the 1 drop creature trigger Chulane
  2. Draw a card and put your land in to play trigger Cloudstone Curio
  3. If you ever don't have a land in hand at this stage, bounce a land with the Cloudstone Curio trigger
  4. Creature cast resolves trigger Cloudstone Curio
  5. Use the Cloudstone Curio trigger to bounce your other 1 drop creature

Result

This loop will draw your deck and put all remaining lands into play (tapped). Getting something like a Lotus Cobra into play will start netting mana on each iteration.

Shrieking Drake Line

Pre-reqs

Loop

  1. Play the Shrieking Drake trigger Mana Breah AND Chulane
  2. Resolve the Mana Breach trigger bouncing a land to your hand (one that can be used to re-play Shrieking Drake)
  3. Resolve the Chulane trigger drawing a card and putting the land you bounced into play
  4. When the Shrieking Drake enters play, use its bounce effect to bounce itself

Result

This loop will draw your deck and put all remaining lands into play (tapped). Getting something like a Lotus Colbra into play will start netting mana on each iteration.

Intruder Alarm Line

Pre-reqs

Loop

  1. Play Village Bell-Ringer or the 1 drop creature (if using Intruder Alarm) tapping any untapped mana dorks in response, then untapping all creatures
  2. Pay 3 mana to use Chulane's ability to bounce either the Village Bell-Ringer to the 1 drop creature depending on which method you're using

Result

This loop will draw your entire library and out all remaining lands onto the battlefield untapped. If your mana dorks tap for more than the minimum amount, you will also net the excess mana each loop.

Mirror Entity Line

Pre-reqs

Loop - Pay 1 mana into Mirror Entity's ability to turn all of your creatures into elves - Tap the mana dork and float the mana - Return Wirewood Symbiote to your hand and untap the mana dork - Play Wirewood Symbiote

Result

This loop will net you the excess mana each loop and can be repeated indefinitely. If Chulane, Teller of Tales is also on the battlefield (can be cast once infinite mana is achieved) you will also draw your library and put all remaining lands onto the battlefield untapped.

Library in hand

With your library in hand use one of the non-Chulane methods above to generate infinite mana. Some extra mana will be required in addition to the lines above, so playing something like a lotus cobra early if you're short on mana will be helpful. Cheap artifacts are useful but also may be dead depending on the artifact hate on the table. The goal is to generate enough mana to enable a mana generating combo line (Mirror entity, Intruder Alarm) and then generate infinite mana.
