Kinnan Mana Flux description:

With the printing of Kinnan and my love of Simic Big Mana I wanted to use this deck as an opportunity to dip my toe in the water of CEDH and try and make something that had a fast series of combo kills and ways to keep the combination safe.

Ultimately this deck play the devoted/vizier Modern archetype where the goal is to assemble one of the infinite mana combinations and then use dusk watch recruiter or Thrasios to essentially turn your deck over into your hand and find walking ballista/Blue Sun as well as counter spell back up to win the game.

The mana combo's: Kinnan + Basalt monolith provides infinite colorless mana Kinnan + rainbow mana dork + Freed from the Real Scepter + Dramatic Reveral + mana rocks/dorks that tap for >2 mana

Once assembling the infinite mana there are a few ways to utilize it. The first is on Kinnan; he allows you to impulse your library for a non-human creature to put directly onto the battlefield, so in the event that your hand is missing one of the many creature tutors, you can dig until you find the key components (Recruiter, Thrasios) Thrasios is the overall best option since he gives you the ability to both dig for Ballista but also spells to support "going for it." Recruiter can still dig for your ballista but is the most vulnerable to interaction has he can only dig for creatures, similar to Kinnan

The deck runs a suite of low costed/free counter spells to make sure that if you assemble the combination within the early turns of the game you can go for it and still have protection. Upon gold fishing my average turn for kill ranges anywhere from 4-6 but it does have a seven card god hand that can hit the combination on turn one with pact of negation support, however the rarity for the to ever come up is negligible.

Rounding out the rest of the deck there is a ton of card selection and tutors to help the deck dig, and dig and dig, for the combo pieces. All of the card draw that I put into the deck I wanted to try and have see at least 2+ cards for the cheapest mana. The tutor package is created so that it is possible to find any missing portion of the combination. The T-mage cycle aids in finding the needed mana rocks, as well as fabricate and who of invention. Muddle the Mixture can transmute for any of the two mana combo pieces (recruiter, thrasios, scepter, reversal) as well as functioning as a counterspell if needed. Green Sun and Chord of Calling help to find the the creatures as well and Tolaria West functions as a second copy of Walking Ballista.

The roundabout way to win with the deck is to Blue-Sun yourself and Thassa's Oracle or simply stick a Helix pinnacle, dump the counters on it and pass the turn with hopefully enough interaction to stay alive until upkeep

This deck is a "prototype" and I am open for feedback. Major points of concern in just playing the deck is that I'm not certain if Brainstorm is an appropriate card to run without a significant amount of sources to guarantee being able to break a brainstorm lock. Other considerations would be to add in Finale of Devastation to act as a flat tutor, but also another card that could get a critical creature back out of the graveyard.

I am open to all feedback in an attempt to make this new deck as strong as it can possibly be and appreciate anyone that has taken the time to read this far and offer their thoughts on the list and any potential changes that should be made
