Knight of the Reliquary combo
Deck Help forum
Posted on May 9, 2014, 11:43 p.m. by Eduardogbg
I know it's a much used card in modern due to Dredges and Fetches, but, I fell in love with this card for another reason: It can fetch any land from your library. Eldrazi Temple , Urza's Mine etc...
I thought in do a combo with Crucible of Worlds . If it can't get it into competitive/playable modern, I'll trow a Fastbond , some Courser of Kruphix and some fecthes. "Boom!", infinite lands (but casual).
Do you guys/gals know some interactive lands? Lands that tutor, that have cool effects or anything, just want to make a land deck and be happy.
Thanks!

Seems quite fun, i would love to try it.
Since it can fetch Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi Temple , maybe an eldrazi sub-theme???
Another fun thing would be Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer

Be wary of certain combos with KOTR. I love her and use her in my competive junk modern deck. Check my page out for the deck if you would like. However going balls to the walls and dumping lands onto your field is the perfect opportunity for some to go on a land destruction spree, in my meta it happens and it forces you to scoop. Crucible of worlds is fun too but in modern at least it costs too much. The 4 drop needs to be the end of game and the kotr COW combo can be broken in too many ways. I encourage you to plat around with it. The one thing I have wanted wizards to do for a long time that they haven't is make more toolbox lands,

How does Zuran Orb and KoTR make an infinite combo?

I also use Knight of the Reliquary , but in a different way. I still go for the discard land combo, but to deal dmg using Seismic Assault and Life from the Loam to get them back, easy and fun with a lot of oppertunities. And ofc there are tons of cards which enhance the effects and lets u draw an amazing amount of cards where most of them should be lands u can discard for dmg and play again using Crucible of Worlds . Check it out:Discard 18 lands in one turn for 3 dmg each, hmm

Riftstone Portal sounded like a good deal, but, I can only sacrifice Plains and Forest, so it won't do much generating mana and would be hard to sacrifice.
Thanks for everyone who posted here, I will search for Legacy (cheap) lands, which is harder than what I was doing (old lands are hard to find, old lands are wallet killers). I'm much more likely to find new combos in old cards, because they were designed when the game was different than what it's now.
Dreno33 and BLEATH - That would be awesome. Some mana ramp and we are talking about a 20/20 turn 3. Oh My Xenagos. Got the joke? xD
Supermanddk - Nice to know :). Whenever I think in Borbogrymos out of EDH I remember a short and funny history. Was opening a Gatecrash pre-release Dimir pack and opened my first foil and my first mythic: Prime Speaker Zegana . Today she have a slot in some of my decks, but, when I opened it I was kind of sad because I wanted Lazav, Dimir Mastermind . When I saw Borbogrymos I thanked that booster pack for giving me a playable card. Sometimes people like you prove me I underestimated a card.
ApocryphalSaint - Much people say that modern is a fast format, but, you aren't always going to play against Amulet of Vigor or Splinter Twin decks. Birthing Pod is a 3 drop that win games, even if not immediately. If I find the right deck, no one ensures me that Crucible of Worlds won't win games too. Download the Johny spirit on you! Anyway, glad for your advises, and that deck is really nice, I love Junk midrange, just don't have enough money to play with it :(

Fun Fact: Just like the upcoming new M15 card called "Waste Not", Crucible of Worlds was a card designed by the Magic Community. In fact, it was the first of its kind. Every EDH player in the world is thankful for this card, as am I. (:

well, another thing to add would be Zuran Orb for the infinite life combo as well (old combo, i know, but still an option).
I would also consider Tideforce Elemental for the bang colors. This card enables you to pull out every island dual of forests and plains from your deck and make Knight of the Reliquary huge and still untapped. Here's how it works
Tap Knight of the Reliquary , get another island dual.
Tap Tideforce Elemental to untap the knight.
Tap knight for another dual
Landfall trigger untags the elemental
Rinse and Repeat until all island duals ( Breeding Pool and Hallowed Fountain , and rich people with Tundra and Tropical Island ) are out.
Just an idea.
