M21 and Zendikar Rising —Sept. 27, 2020
Added
- Lithoform Engine copies everything! The cheap activated ability copies Riku's triggers directly while the other two abilities let me copy all my other spells. Just so great in this deck.
- Garruk's Uprising, slight upgrade to Elemental Bond. Will impact fewer of my creatures than EB but also gives me trample.
Removed
- Twinning Staff, was somewhat limited in that I less often copy instants and sorceries and that's where this staff really shines. It's far outclassed by Lithoform Engine.
- Elemental Bond, trying out Garruk's Uprising instead for the added trample.
Alright Forceofnature1, I swapped my Swiftfoot Boots for a Mystic Snake. I really do like the repeatable nature of that snek. Thanks again!

Damn son I really enjoy this build right here. I have most of these cards and will probably morph to something very similar to this. I am going for maximum impact in a multi-player game and don't want to be the target but know when Riku hits people are going to be waiting for him. I like how this deck synergizes really well off of itself.
Have you played it? Does it work well even if Riku isn't on the board?

Also, if you were going for more mass chaos on the board versus winning outright, what do you think some fun adds would be? I thought that might be fun to just wreck everyone's plans and reset things so the game can go longer.

I can definitely see the value Sundial of the Infinite would add, CivilizedSin. Would help me keep the tokens from Flameshadow Conjuring, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Mirror March rather than losing them at the end of a turn. If I had something obvious to take out, I might consider it but I'm not sure if I want to make room for a combo that only works with so few cards. Though it would be hilarious for the effect of a Craterhoof Behemoth to stick around on all my creatures :D I'll keep Sundial in the back of my mind for future updates.
Thanks Forceofnature1! I hadn't done much to Riku in a while but wanted to add an Agent of Treachery and got inspired to re-evaluate a handful of other cards, too. I think you're right about Mystic Snake, I kind of forgot about that snek but with the flash/instant speed options to copy creatures, he'd be a great target. I'll have to Ponder what to take out to make room for him.
