The 2 Gilded Lotus Tokens gives just enough mana to cast the recurred Saheeli's Artistry again, redoing the entire loop. So, we see what Ghostly Flicker can do, what about Saheeli's Artistry? Saheeli's Artistry under Melek and Bloodwater nets 2x Gilded Lotus Tokens, 1x Bloodwater Token and 1 creature token of your choosing. Bloodwater can also be blinked twice using the same trick to get instants back to top of library, and with good stack management, we can get to draw and cast almost all our instant spells from our deck (hint: some blue 1 mana tutor or searching frantically will help) and win from there. The blinks can be used on other lands/creatures/artifacts to use their ability again, for example, our commander Kess so that she can cast "more than one spell" from the graveyard during our turn.

Now this gets interesting, with Melek and Bloodwater, Ghostly flicker gets copied, which nets more mana as Gilded Lotus is blinked twice per cast. Gilded Lotus Durdle loop 3 with Ghostly Flicker/Saheeli's Artistry Speaking of Bloodwater Entity, this elemental is heard to be brothers with a really Weird creature. Not to mention that Helm of Awakening + Future Sight + Sensei's Divining Top creates some interesting synergy. Similarly like loop1, it nets positive mana when used with Helm of Awakening and also becomes a kill con with Guttersnipe. Gilded Lotus Durdle loop 2 with Ghostly FlickerĪnother combo that durdles except Ghostly Flicker is cast from the top of the library instead of from our hand. It also plays well with on cast damage dealers such as Guttersnipe and Sphinx-Bone Wand.īut we don't include cards without them having cross synergies with other cards, hence enter our. However, with cost reducers such as Helm of Awakening or Jace's Sanctum, it starts to net positive mana every loop.

This is basically a durdle loop which does nothing but up storm count. Gilded Lotus provides the 3 mana to cast the loop again. Archaeomancer's ETB trigger targets Ghostly Flicker, bringing it back to hand. Both permanents will blink out and in, Ghostly Flicker place in the graveyard.

This is a simple loop, cast Ghostly Flicker targeting Archaeomancer and Gilded Lotus. Gilded Lotus Durdle loop 1 with Ghostly Flicker A durdle combo that doesn't advance the board state in anyway, add more pieces to make it net positive then the deck will build itself. Unlike other decks that focus on getting efficient wincons and self contained combos, I start with a single durdle combo which I really like to see in my spellslinger deck and build the deck from there. It is actually a really fun and interesting process on how I approach building this deck. "by Function" Magic Online OCTGN2 Apprentice Buy These Cards (This isn't a consistant T4 win deck, although it can win on Turn3 with a god hand) Prefers simple interactions with cards and combos.Prefers straight up control via permission (blue counterspells).Likes spikish plays, every card must be powerful.This deck might not be suitable to those who: Likes using opponent's resources (creatures and combos) against them.This is the deck which is suitable for those who: There is a staggering amount of cards I really want in, sighz.Īm quite happy with the current decklist now.

Hell yeah the deck is really fun to play, not the kind which is single direction, storm based spellslinger nor is the control heavy type.Ĭurrently this decklist still needs quite a fair bit of work, am having huge trouble finding cards to cut and inserting cards which I love to see in the deck. Hence, I dropped Inalla (yeah most probably would not build with her as a commander anymore) and settled on using Kess as my spellslinger commander. After playing Inalla for 5-6 games with a couple of games leading to me comboing off with Altar + Bloodline Necromancer/Changeling Berserker, I was like "Dammit, this commander is so one dimensional." Hence, I bought cards and formed the deck centering around her Eminence ability. Inalla at the beginning strikes me as a commander which suites my playstyle, since I love synergies and interactions she will be an excellant commander.
