Breakthrough: Discovered Thrasios' First Combo —Jan. 20, 2017
I recently added Sensei's Divining Top to the list, because I wanted more top deck manipulation. It only took a few test runs to discover that it was one of the best cards in the deck. I also discovered that Top combos with Thrasios, Triton Hero and Paradox Engine to draw my entire deck. The combo requires 5+ mana worth of rocks/dorks in play, which for this deck is fairly easy to come by.
The combo works like so:
1)Tap Top to draw a card
2) Pay 4 to Use Thrasios's ability to bring top to hand.
3) Cast Top to untap all your rocks/dorks with paradox engine.
4) Repeat this process until you have drawn your deck.
While too slow as a primary combo, this is a wonderful backup combo because it literally costs 0 slots. Both Paradox Engine and Sensei's Divining Top have great standalone value in the deck and to exclude either would make the deck far worse.
hows the playtest for this irl ? im curious kinda wanna build lol

So far pretty good. It has done much better than my Leo deck in my playgroup, but that is partially due to the fact that Leo is such a hate magnet. I personally think its the strongest deck I have ever made. The combos are very card slot friendly and fast and there are many different paths to victory so its hard to shut down the deck completely.

enpc: Its definitely worth testing. I think it will often function as a mana comfluence, but the potential to get screwed may keep it out of the deck.
