---

Ridiculously fast yet "affordable" (by cEDH standards) combo deck that tends to win between turns 4-5, though I've had many games where it has won as early as turns 1-3.

Need a cheaper build?

• you can cut out the mox's and Mana Vault to save about $150 if you'd like, replacing them with more budget-friendly options like Unwinding Clock, Commander's Sphere, Chromatic Lantern, etc. These are perfectly fine substitutions that won't hinder the deck's speed too much.

Want to maximize power?

• If you got money to blow, feel free to add a Mana Crypt, Mox Diamond, Time Twister, Urza, Lord High Artificer and Force of Will. Note this deck works just as well without them but a little extra ramp and protection could go a long way.

Notable combos:

• Emry, Lurker of the Loch + Mirran Spy/ Chakram Retriever + Lotus Petal = infinite mana (add Conjurer's Bauble to the mix afterwards for infitite card draw or Diligent Excavator for infinite mill)

• Emry, Lurker of the Loch + Thornbite Staff + any X CMC creature = infinite storm (replace X CMC creature with a 0 CMC creature with Ashnod's Altar/ Krark-Clan Ironworks to add infinite colorless mana, or Grinding Station for infinite mill)

• Basalt Monolith + Mesmeric Orb = infinite self mill

• Mystic Forge + Etherium Sculptor + Sensei's Divining Top = Infinite card draw There are many, many more but I can't think of them off the top of my head, just pay attention to your board state and you'll always find a way to mix it up with a number of cards together

This deck is extremely fast, efficient and reliable. And unlike a lot of higher power EDH decklists, it doesn't suffer from "winning the same way each time" like most cEDH tend to suffer from (I'm looking at you flash/hulk players). Sure the goal is to mill yourself, get your pieces out and combo then end with either Walking Ballista or Aetherflux Reservoir, but the means of setting up the combo vary with every game and if you're like me, you'll surprise yourself every game with how many countless ways there are to set up and combo off.
