Objective of the Deck

This is a combo deck that aims to abuse Vela the Night-Clad's last ability and kill our opponents by repeatedly blinking or bouncing our creatures with Vela in play.

Blink

Deadeye Navigator Lines

1) Deadeye Navigator + Cloud of Faeries = Infinite Creature ETB/LTB. Combine with Vela the Night-Clad to gun down all opponents.

2) Deadeye Navigator + Cloud of Faeries + High Tide / Panharmonicon / Dimir Aqueduct = Infinite Mana and Creature ETB/LTB.

3) Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake = Infinite Mana and Creature ETB/LTB.

Naru Meha, Master Wizard Lines

4) Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Ghostly Flicker = Infinite Mana and Creature ETB/LTB. Require to combo off.

5) Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Displace = Infinite Creature ETB/LTB. Combine with any creatures with ETB effect for massive value!

6) Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Displace + Cloud of Faeries / Peregrine Drake = Infinite Mana and Creature ETB/LTB. Require to combo off.

7) Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Illusionist's Stratagem = Draw as many cards as required to assemble your combo pieces. Require to combo off. Note that this does not go infinite as we are limited by the number of cards we can draw.

8) Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Essence Flux = Infinite Creature ETB/LTB.

9) Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Release to the Wind = Infinite Creature ETB/LTB.

Archaeomancer Lines

10) Archaeomancer + Peregrine Drake + Ghostly Flicker / Displace / Illusionist's Stratagem = Infinite Mana, Storm Count and Creature ETB/LTB. For Illusionist's Stratagem, we are limited by the number of cards in our library, so it doesn't go infinite.

11) Archaeomancer + Deadeye Navigator + Turnabout = Infinite Storm Count and Creature ETB/LTB with 6 lands in play. Infinite Mana with at least 7 lands in play. High Tide will reduce the number of lands required if we've sufficient islands to support the loop.

12) Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + High Tide + Panharmonicon / Naban, Dean of Iteration = Infinite Mana, Storm Count and Creature ETB/LTB.

13) Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Semblance Anvil = Infinite Storm Count and Creature ETB/LTB.

Shipwreck Dowser cost more to cast but gets the job done in most scenarios above.

Bounce

1) Shrieking Drake + Cloud of Faeries / Peregrine Drake + Panharmonicon = Infinite Mana, Storm Count and Creature ETB/LTB.

2) AEther Adept / Venser, Shaper Savant + Peregrine Drake + Panharmonicon = Infinite Mana, Storm Count and Creature ETB/LTB.

3) Snap + Archaeomancer + High Tide = Infinite Mana, Storm Count and Creature ETB/LTB. This requires at least 5 Islands to combo off.

4) Riptide Laboratory + Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Turnabout = Infinite Mana, Storm Count and Creature ETB/LTB. Need at least to start the combo and at least 6 lands producing to loop.
