It’s time for your mandatory corporate sponsored fun, yes more team building!

Most of the time at these things our employees just stand around looking at each other awkwardly. This time the theme of the seminar is “let’s whoop some azz”. Finally, a role-playing scenario we can all enjoy! Let’s be good corporate citizens and waste our opponents!

Our CEO really takes care of his employees. They all have a competitive insurance package along with 401k. To win in other ways than bashing faces with fun creatures like the Sr. manager of Accounting Blightsteel Colossus and the Vice President of HR Wurmcoil Engine here are some combos:

Etherium Sculptor + Sensei's Divining Top + The Reality Chip = draw your deck Do this with Sai out and you’ll create a Thopter with each cast

Lotus Petal + Mirran Spy + Emry, Lurker of the Loch = infinite mana and storm count (good for aetherflux or efficient construction)

Emry, Lurker of the Loch + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Ichor Wellspring + Mirran Spy= draw your deck

Capsize (with buyback)+ Mystic Sanctuary + Time Warp = infinite turns (employee overtime)

Wurmcoil Engine+ Krark-Clan Ironworks + Nim Deathmantle = infinite mana (payroll) and wurm tokens (temp contractors)

The idea behind this deck is to use artifacts to get ahead and potentially combo off. When I’ve ran other artifact decks I found that Padeem was so useful as protection that I wanted to try him in the command zone. The ideal scenario would be Padeem protecting Platinum Angel while wearing Darksteel Plate, or maybe just throw the plate on plat angel directly. I’m not sure of the power level as some more play testing is needed. If you have any suggestions please feel free to comment!
