This is my attempt to make a deck around Rashmi, Eternities Crafter. As you have read the card, she has a pseudo cascade ability that can go from good to absurd in the game. I chose Temur Colors because of my selection of cards that interact with each other.

With the new cards spoiled for Rivals of Ixalan, I reformed the deck to adapt the current metagame plus this deck didn't get affected with the current standard bans...yehey!

The Creatures

• Servant of the Conduit - this time, we will make this deck a ramp deck to cast big spells earlier than usual.

• Torrential Gearhulk - Another big guy that...you know what it can STILL do to you with my instant spells below.

• Rhonas the Indomitable - the Amnonkhet God that makes our creatures bigger. In this deck, she is very easy to make her attack or block...Also, if you have her and you cast Rishkar's Expertise, you almost reloaded your hand! Kaching!

• Vizier of Many Faces - this deck won't be complete without copying creatures...sometimes, planeswalkers who become creatures. this card replaces Altered Ego and although it cannot grow bigger and can't be countered, it can come back again thanks to embalm. Also, it can fight against Carnage Tyrant because he can copy it without any problems (the card doesn't say "target" on it that's why hexproof is irrelevant to him)

• Glorybringer - to be honest, this dragon should be in this deck when it was spoiled but I have no place for it...now it helps me a lot in catching up agro decks as well as killing planeswalkers and some big guys (with the help of my burn spells)

• Samut, Voice of Dissent - he's back and hes more badass than ever flashing and giving our guys haste.

• NEW: Jadelight Ranger - this is a replacement for Rogue Refiner now that she is banned in standard starting RIX. She gives you card advantage as well as a potential big body that can either finish the game for you or can defend for you once you start flashing spells with either rashmi or sunbird invocation. She replaced Sweltering Suns and some burn spells which makes this deck more tempo.

The Spells

• Magma Spray - your early game removal against small creatures...and to exile these pesky embalmed and eternalized creatures.

• Abrade - your answer against any artifacts and a backup burn spell.

• Lightning Strike - another burn spell that targets both creatures and players. For now, I chose this over Harnessed Lightning because the latter has conflict with sunbird invocation which it cannot target players. still feel free to swap lightning strike for harnessed lightning depending on your metagame.

• Supreme Will - the newest digging and countering spell which is very useful in all situations...even rashmi is in the battlefield.

• Commit - my replacement for Brutal Expulsion, another utility spell that bounces and reloads your hand...and also for graveyard shenanigans.

• Pull from Tomorrow - a copy of this card guarantees me to have a reloaded hand specially when I get mana flooded.

• Baral's Expertise - Any expertise is always good for decks that loves to cheat spells especially with rashmi. It breaks your opponent's tempo by bouncing their creatures and or vehicles. this is a very good opportunity to cast Rashmi for free. Also, this is a very good spell to bounce one of our etb(enters the battlefield) cards and recast them again.

• Rishkar's Expertise - another way to cheat our low costing spells and gives you card draw. The worst number of cards that you can draw in this deck is 2 and go up to depending on how big you pumped a creature with Rhonas.

Other Spells

• Nissa, Steward of Elements - I tried not to include anymore spells here but I think this nissa fits in this deck. She helps you do card filtering at least with rashmi, she can also dig for more threats and if you manage to have a lot of mana, you can use her ultimate.

• Sunbird's Invocation - as soon as this card was spoiled, I was so hyped to add this because it makes rashmi more absurd digging, cascading and flashing more spells. You can also choose if you want rashmi's trigger first before this card's trigger so this is a very nice addition to this deck.

• Metallurgic Summonings - thanks to Illuminate21 for his suggestion. since I have big spells, why not add this nice enchantment? ALso, if you do a Rishkar's Expertise, it reloads your hand thanks to its cast trigger and you will also have a 6/6 dude.

The Sideboards

• Appetite for the Unnatural - for artifact based decks

• Bounty of the Luxa - for attrition matches

• Deathgorge Scavenger - for graveyard shenanigans

• Negate - control and attrition matches

• Skysovereign, Consul Flagship - if you feel you need more firepower, go for it.

• Sweltering Suns - any aggressive decks

• Confiscation Coup - for big guys like The Scarab God, Hazoret the Fervent

• Torrential Gearhulk - to support control and attrition matches.
