Sorry still pretty new to magic, could you explain to me the combos for this deck, I've been enjoying playing commander with my friends and i wanna make a deck that is unique and still fun to play

Eklipse87 I would recommend not building a competitive deck immediately, and instead have fun with your playgroup making a weird meta. This deck is expensive, and there are faster and more consistent decks for less money in the same color combination anyways.

Decks that use Arjun, the Shifting Flame tend to want to get Arjun on the field, and activate his effect as many times as possible. They dig can dig for a few things to win: Alhamaret's Archive, Dream Halls, Paradox Engine, and then try to win with whatever infinite combos you like in the UR color combination.

This particular deck is considered to be one of the most optimal ways possible to use Arjun. It has wonderful (and expensive) mana rocks, ranging from Sol Ring to Lion's Eye Diamond, and runs some control to stall the game/protect its own combo until it wins.

That was rambling and weird but I hope it made sense. I need coffee.

Nerdytimesorwhatever Thank you. I wanted to tell him this deck is definitly for more experienced players because of the ordering things happen on the stack but didn't want to come off like an asshole.

Yeah, I have an Arjun deck. It gets a lot of "... How are you doing this" type questions.

Deck question: Whats the reasoning in not including things like Power Artifact and Grand Architect + Pili-Pala?

Well I wouldn't run Grand Architect + Pili-Pala because it's slow and requires them both out and without summoning sickness. and I used to run Power Artifact but the combo isn't really what this deck strives for. This is more of a storm deck so I plan on winning though drawing the deck with arjun and Alhammarret's Archive or storming into Aetherflux Reservoir

Do you find you don't need Thought Reflection, Psychosis Crawler, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, and The Locust God? Are the combos you have in there good enough on their own?

Awesome deck dude, please do a thorough guide. It'll get it the love it deserves and I want to see what your head was at while building this and your individual card analysis.
