MTG Salvation

By the time we octopus the insight, we want to have a reflections on octopus so that we can counter the original in order to not have it stuck on the insight. It seems tricky to thaumabroom one by that point, so we instead probably want one of the original reflections to name octopus.

We also may want to bring back a tormod's crypt with the dance in order to have sacrifices on demand; to get maximum value out of every omen beyond maybe the first.

So we have
T1 RW tapland hand:6
T2 island, crypt, trickery->chandra, uptick to 6; hand 4 grave 3 (+trickery,crypt)
T3 forest, kasmina, uptick to 8; hand 3
T4 ult chandra; hand 7 grave 7; mana avail = UWG+land drop
monument, barrens, stadium*2, dance (for insight, monument, reflections, 3 unspecified) - hand 2 grave 1 mana G
rendevous - hand 7 grave 1 mana G

from there we probably need a few blue mana to fully set up all the engines; i.e. mutating onto monument and insight, and mutating onto vadrok a few times to cast the spells needed

Omen of the dead might be a useful way to trigger thaumabrooms and get some extra value from the grave.

I thought about First day of class for haste, but learn along with insight allows for discard 1 to draw 2. So we can use either Claim the firstborn (might require too much early resources) or something like Tuktuk Rubblefort/Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded

I don't think harness infinity is safe if we aren't forced to resolve the original and exile it - which we're not, as after chandra alt we have access to stormcaller + teach + harness; resolve the copy and trickery the original.

Secret rendezvous seems useful - perhaps we can use Teferi's Ageless Insight to get more cards out of each of our limited uses of it.

We'd need to be careful not to allow our opponent to discard cards, as otherwise we'd be able to refill their library with Quandrix command

Edit: Flumph is an alternative to rendezvous that we can get more uses out of

Hmm, since chandra makes us discard, we have 7 cards in hand and 7 in grave (+ trickery/crypt)

Possibly:
Have the forest be GU snarl instead
Thaumaturge, monument, 3 stadium, dance - 2 left in hand
get back reflections, monument, broom, stadium
last 2 cards = vadrok, octopus
mutate octopus, copy it; trickery octopus into eerie ultimatum? perhaps one of the dance targets is King narfi's Betrayal for extra mill?

except ultimatum can put lands into play later breaking the stage...

Hmm, one issue I'm seeing is that an unkicked Into the roil can bounce chandra and replay her to draw cards too cheaply; so we'd need to not have vorinclex; in which case chandra can ult on turn 5 at the earliest (perhaps a turn earlier with the help of Kasmina, Enigma sage); and also sagas don't work (including The Bloodsky Masacre)

Chandra, Flame's catalyst's ult could also enable going off on an early turn, but may require a very different setup

(although, it doesn't change mutate or kicker costs)

What's the minimum number of cards/mana we need to start the stage?

Could we do something like trickery into Harness Infinity after milling a bunch?

Academy Manufacturer isn't in standard

Lore drakkis returns to hand rather than to the top

Hmm, yeah it's difficult for venture to be anything other than the last few layers since it can produce treasure

One issue with the above sequence is that if chandra's incinerator is supposed to have lifelink, then skyway sniper can also, gaining life too early.

We can use an uncounterable spell to solve the first issue

Double Major is another legend copier which is instant speed; if we can keep copies of creature spells on the stack throughout most of the combo

Teach by Example is a Dual strike without the cmc mv restriction

Grinning Ignus was just spoiled, which could be a source of colourless mana. Though the sorcery speed restriction is possibly too constraining.

Edit: Another source of colourless mana is to use Animating Faerie on a Forsaken Monument so it can be mutated onto and copied
