Description

This is a mono-red combo deck. This is the sixth iteration of the deck and seemed to have finally might have found the right land count. The point of this deck is to get Birgi, God of Storytelling   onto the field turn 1, but by turn 2 at the latest and abuse her mana generating ability. Most of the cards within the deck are 1 or 2 mana draw spells which with Birgi's ability essentially make the spells either 0 or 1 mana at any point in time. There are a few different combos within the deck that will get the win if they succeed. The sole thing that will keep your from winning the game is either countermagic or drawing into only land with your draw spells. There are several wheels in the deck to hopefully ensure that land flooding does not happen, but it is still very much a possibility. The most successful combo will be the ones with Grinning Ignus involved, but there is still back ups in the forms of Sensei's Divining Top and Experimental Frenzy doing essentailly the same combos as well. If any combo pieces are destroyed or end up in the graveyard you should be able to use Underworld Breach to bring them back and keep going through your loops.

Combos:

1. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Grinning Ignus+Altar of the Brood. This is a infinite mill combo for that because of Birig's ability will allow bounce Grinning Ignus to hand and recast it over and over again.

2. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Grinning Ignus+Aetherflux Reservoir. This is essentially the same as the infinite mill combo, but gaining infinite life and shooting your opponents life totals with your own.

3. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Grinning Ignus+Impact Tremors. Once again is essentially the same as the other 2 combos, but with infinite ETB damage triggers from Impact Tremors.

4. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Grinning Ignus+Impact Tremors+Empty the Warrens. Casting Grinning ignus all those times with build up a mighty fine storm count and allow you to have all the goblins.

5. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Grinning Ignus+Empty the Warrens+Zada, Hedron Grinder+ Unnatural Speed. This is a combo that isn't really a combo. Just build your storm count with Grinning Ignus and then cast Unnatural Speed on Zada to give all those new goblin tokens haste. This just has to be done during your first main phase to swing out in combat with a ungodly amount of tokens at your opponents.

6. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Grinning Ignus+Grapeshot. Build a massive storm count and grapeshot your opponents to death.

7. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Sensei's Divining Top+Experimental Frenzy+Aetherflux Reservoir. Its essentially the citadel combo with top, but now in red. Use the man from Birgi to keep casting top. Hopefully Aetherflux Reservoir is already on the field, but if it isnt then use Experimental Frenzy to cast all the 0 and 1 mana mana rocks from your library and use them to either cast Aetherflux Reservoir or blow up Experimental Frenzy and start casting your hand.

8. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Sensei's Divining Top+Experimental Frenzy+Altar of the Brood. Essentiall the same as the above combo, but you are milling your opponents every time that top hits the field.

9. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Sensei's Divining Top+Experimental Frenzy+ Storm. Essentailly this combo can alos be used to cast either one of the storm cards in the deck, Grapeshot or Empty the Warrens, and win that way as well.

10. Birgi, God of Storytelling  +Grinning Ignus+ Helm of Awakening+Walking Ballista. Using Helm of Awakening, Grinnning Ignus will only cost 1 red and 1 generic so every time you bounce it and bring it back to hand you are gaining a net of 1 generic mana each time which will eventually lead to infinite colorless mana which can be pumped into Walking Ballista for a ton and used to kill your opponents that way.
