I was playing around with the Imperial Recruiter - Kiri-Onna combo a little while ago and found that I could pull it off with only 3 lands. Granted, it complicates the combo quite a bit, but I though it was cool so I thought I'd share.
Prerequisites:
a. Animar in play with 2+ counters
b. 3 untapped lands. 1: R, 2: U, 1: G
c. Imperial Recruiter in hand
d. 12 life to spare
------------> RUU Available
1. Play Imperial Recruiter, fetching Phyrexian Metamorph -> Animar = 3 counters [R]
2. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Imperial Recruiter, fetching Kiri-Onna [2L]
3. Play Kiri-Onna, bouncing Phyrexian Metamorph [U]
4. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Kiri-Onna, bouncing Kiri-Onna and [2L]
Phyrexian Metamorph
5. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Imperial Recruiter, fetching Peregrine [2L]
Drake
6. Play Peregrine Drake, Untapping 3 Lands [U]
------------> UUG Available
7. Play Kiri-Onna, bouncing Phyrexian Metamorph [U]
8. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Kiri-Onna, bouncing Kiri-Onna and [2L]
Phyrexian Metamorph
9. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Imperial Recruiter, fetching Wood Elves [2L]
10. Play Wood Elves, fetching an untapped Forest that can produce U [G]
(ie. Breeding Pool)
------------> UU Available, +1 Land
11. Play Kiri-Onna, bouncing Phyrexian Metamorph [U]
12. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Kiri-Onna, bouncing Kiri-Onna and [2L]
Phyrexian Metamorph
13. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Peregrine Drake, untapping 4 Lands [U]
------------> UUU + R/U/G Available
14. Play Kiri-Onna, bouncing Phyrexian Metamorph [U]
15. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Kiri-Onna, bouncing Kiri-Onna and [U]
Phyrexian Metamorph
16. Tap 4th land, floating 1 mana of a type that land can produce
17. Play Phyrexian Metamorph, copying Peregrine Drake, untapping 4 Lands [U]
------------> UUU + R/U/G Available
18. Repeat steps 14 through 17, floating 1 mana each time. This builds an
arbitrarily large animar and an infinite amount of mana in whatever
colours the 4th land can produce (Usually R and G). Alternatively,
once infinite R/G mana has been produced, you may use Phyrexian
Metamorph to copy Wood Elves to fetch another forest that can produce
blue mana (if you have one), or you may copy Imperial Recruiter,
fetching Farhaven Elf and fetching a basic Island if infinite blue
mana is required and not yet available to you.
Finisher:
Once infinite Animar and infinite mana has been accomplished, there are a multitude of ways I like to kill my opponents.
- Imperial Recruiter -> Fierce Empath -> Brutalizer Exarch -> Purphoros. Use Recruiter to get Elvish Visionary or
another ETB draw effect to draw and play Purphoros and blast everyone with infinite ETB triggers (I believe
infinite blue mana is required for this)
- Imperial Recruiter -> Trophy Mage -> Cloudstone Curio. Then Recruiter -> Fierce Empath -> Ulamog, the Ceaseless
Hunger. Copy Fierce Empath to get Oblivion Sower and proceed to exile all opponents permanents and libraries
(Infinite blue mana required)
- And probably the simplest one: Imperial Recruiter -> Walking Ballista. Play walking Ballista for a billion and
ping everyone down to 0
Plus whatever other wincons people like to use.
Now as said previously, this combo is pretty convoluted, but I think the convoluted combos are the most fun as they showcase interesting card interactions the best (at least in my opinion). Anyway, let me know what you guys think
Hi, I got two questions about selling to MtGOTraders;
1. I see the reviews, but is this legit? I thought it would be more like a trade, and not giving them access to my mtgo account.
2. Does anybody know, when I want to sell my collection but I want to keep two EDH decks, if there's and easy way to do this?
Took 30 minutes just to figure out how every trigger was going to land. Unable to finish the game because the store had to close. They wanted to flip the table, i couldnt stop crying from laughter.
Theres an App that lets you set a total number and then rolls a dice, it really helps (MTGFamiliar for example).
Lets say you have 32 creatures, just set the number to 32, as a result you get a random number, lets say 19, and then you count the creatures till you hit 19. Takes a minute max.
Just make sure the order is set before you roll the dice to avoid a discussion.
I run a list based on the primer but made a couple changes and cut the cute cards.
Oh and whats really nice is Indomitable Creativity, give it a try.
Another superb synergy I discovered was Feldon on the table + Conscripts in the grave. Take anything you want at instant speed.
I never had problems with timing out, neither in paper nor online. And from all mono colored decks norin wins the most. Cute little fella.
Can think of: Docksite Extorsionist
Comboing off since 2015
Do you have a list of the Horobi control deck?
I got one too and want to see whats your take on it.
