I really love cEDH. Playing optimally is what intrigues me and to me, promotes the most interesting of games.

I wanted something 'out of the box' so to speak than the 'normal meta'. I very much enjoy the "1 Card Combo" aspect of Tivit, Seller of Secrets and wanted to see if I can make something work with a reanimator strategy (another interest of mine). So, naturally, Kroxa and Kunoros seemed like the obvious choice.

Combo Lines:

1 Card Combos: These are called that because you already have access to your commander, so you just need the 1 card to 'pop off'.

Altar of Dementia = You can either play this first, and then play K & K; or if you already have K & K in play, you can play Altar and then proceed to combat to get the trigger mid-combat. The way this works is, you have to respond to the trigger of K & K either Entering or Attacking. You respond by sacrificing K & K to Altar and mill yourself equal to K & K's power (6) and ensure that K & K goes to the graveyard (DO NOT PUT IN COMMAND ZONE). You resolve the trigger by exiling 5 cards that don't matter (more discussion below) and returning K & K to play and repeat these same steps to mill yourself out.

Buried Alive = With enough mana (and at least 5 cards in your graveyard), you can use this to tutor the following creatures to then start the chain with K & K (preferably Entering). The 3 creatures you get are Karmic Guide, Felidar Guardian & Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. K & K's ETB trigger goes off, your first target is Karmic Guide and then that brings back Felidar Guardian, which then brings back Kiki-Jiki. With Kiki-Jiki in play, you then tap Kiki to copy Felidar Guardian, the copy 'flickers' Kiki and you rinse and repeat. This results in an arbitrarily large number of Felidar Guardians that you can now attack with for lethal.

Other WinCons (layered):

Altar of Dementia = Once we have milled ourselves, our last trigger from K & K is going to reanimate Karmic Guide, then Felidar Guardian which 'flickers' Karmic, and then Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward. Abdel exiles Felidar and Karmic, creating 1/1 tokens. You then sacrifice Abdel to Altar milling everyone else out (or yourself if you had the pieces in the graveyard already and have not finished milling yourself out yet), which then brings back Felidar and Karmic. Karmic triggers and targets Abdel again, Felidar triggers and targets Karmic. The end result is you will then be able to reanimate Abdel over and over and over again, all the while pulling all the other creatures from your graveyard to play. You use your 'infinite' tokens to mill out your opponents. Pass the turn and let them 'die' to drawing from an empty library.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker+Felidar Guardian = 'Infinite' Felidar's to attack with.

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward+Karmic Guide+Felidar Guardian+Altar of Dementia = Mill your entire library, and get an additional 'reanimation' to bring every creature into play from your graveyard. More specifically, Orcish Bowmasters to then 'blink' via Abdel Adrian entering play over and over again to 'ping' the table, OR you could then get back Serra Paragon and Lurrus of the Dream-Den and end the 'reanimation' chain to then cast Lion's Eye Diamond from the graveyard using the static ability of Paragon or Lurrus, to then cast Underworld Breach from the graveyard to then present a Breach-Mill hybrid win or Breach-Abdel Adrian-Bolas' Citadel win ('blink' Citadel much like Bowmasters with Abdel Adrian entering play over and over again, sacrificing the tokens that Abdel Adrian makes each time to drain the table).

Basalt Monolith+Mesmeric Orb = Mill my entire library. Once library is milled, 'Unearth' Priest of Fell Rites to reanimate Karmic Guide, Felidar Guardian, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combo; or 'Unearth' Priest of Fell Rites to reanimate Lurrus or Paragon to get back Underworld Breach to combo off that way (this lines requires more mana).

There are some other long-winded lines, but that is something more in depth I don't have the mental capacity to type out.

Check it out. Try it out. And as always, keep on shufflin'!
