Riku of Two Reflections

Commander / EDH Aggro Combo RUG (Temur)

Dasaru


This is an aggro Riku deck that focuses on copying key creatures to make the attacking creatures huge. The goal is to set it up by playing a bunch of small creatures and tokens, then going for lethal with a swift combo of cards.

Key Cards

Wild Beastmaster, Cultivator of Blades, & Pathbreaker Ibex

These creatures are what make this deck explode with damage. Obtain one of these cards then simply copy and/or pump them up. Their triggered abilities stack and resolve one at a time. Once one ability resolves, the next Wild Beastmaster will have higher power when their triggered ability resolves.

Copy Cards

Flameshadow Conjuring - One of the best copy spells the deck has since it becomes so cheap to get temporary creatures.

Twinflame - Very good spell that enables you to copy any creature with triggered abilities.

Heat Shimmer - While not as good as Twinflame, it is still a game winning card. The copy effect is so strong, that this is a must include.

Polymorphous Rush - Insanely powerful card. This allows you to turn your tokens into a Cultivator/Beastmaster which usually ends the game. And don't forget the Instant speed utility it brings.

Zada, Hedron Grinder & Mirrorwing Dragon - Target these with any of the above spells to boost your entire board for extremely cheap.

Flamerush Rider - The dash ability on this makes it really good since it allows you to play it over and over again. This lets you copy it with both Riku and Flameshadow Conjuring on top of giving it haste for suprise attacks. While this doesn't synergize with Cultivator/Beastmaster, it does offer great synergy copying utility creatures such as Mulldrifter, Prime Speaker Zegana, Craterhoof Behemoth, etc.

Pump Cards

Might of the Masses - Solid instant pump spell that gets better the more tokens you have. Excellent spell to target the three key cards (listed above), Mirrorwing Dragon or Zada, Hedron Grinder.

Briarhorn - Really good synergy with the deck. The flash and evoke gives you an easy way to pump Cultivator/Beastmaster. You can copy him cheaply with Riku, Flameshadow Conjuring, or Flamerush Rider.

Simic Charm - Gives a modest +3/+3 bonus. Also has the added utility of giving your board hexproof or bouncing a creature. Also a nice Riku target.

Overwhelming Stampede & Beastmaster Ascension - More easy ways to pump the Cultivator/Beastmaster to make your creatures twice as powerful.

Craterhoof Behemoth - Easily copied with Flameshadow Conjuring or Riku. And it's easily recycled with Flamerush Rider or any of the other copy spells.

Other

Woodland Bellower - I feel like this should be played in more EDH decks. At the very least, it can tutor up an Eternal Witness giving this great value. On top of that, it fetches the Wild Beastmaster that the deck combos off of. Afterwards, it becomes a vanilla 6/5 body allowing you to use it as a disposable blocker, or a sacrifice target. You can Eldritch Evolution it straight into Craterhoof or utilize its 6 power for Overwhelming Stampede.

Master Biomancer - While not the strongest card in the deck, copying it a couple times before producing tokens can be a great little boost.
