Palinchon combo/reanimator deck.

First Draft.

Goal is to get infinite mana, cast Vela the Night-Clad and then blink something until everyone dies.

Combos:

• Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron : The classic.

• Palinchron + Phantasmal Image : Needs a land count that gets you 7 or more mana.

• Palinchron + High Tide or Bubbling Muck: More of a late game thing. The land count can be tricky to achieve in dual color. More likely if you manage to flashback HT/BM with jace, telepath unnbound or are using Phantasmal Image

• Palinchron + Phyrexian Tower or High Market + Corpse Dance or Nim Deathmantle: Alternate Palinchron routes.

• Buried Alive into Palinchron, Deadeye Navigator, and Phyrexian Delver plus any reanimation spell: A variant on the classic that gets you both pieces for as little as 6 mana. (Note that using Reanimate for this will cost you a total of 18 life.)

• Cloud of Faries + Deadeye Navigator: The classic mini. Only gets you infinite mana with an land that taps for 2 or more, but if you can cast Vela over it then that doesn't matter.

Will add a certain leaked pirate once it's proven that it exists.
