Eggs,Cheerios and absolutely nothing to do with Breakfast combos in Legacy... The inspiration for this deck was one of my favourite combos from Kaladesh Standard( Ravenous Intruder + Pia's Revolution + Ornithopter ).

The deck leverages Birgi's ability to produce mana to play a ton of cheap eggs and cheerio artifacts to make a bunch of mana and draw through our deck. It's not really designed to be an infinite combo deck though it probably can go infinite in ways I haven't figured out yet. Instead my plan is to just have some fun drawing cards and grind people out slowly with a bunch of different damage triggers that are all fairly easy to cast/draw into.

The Interaction:

The idea behind the deck is simple:

  1. Cast Birgi ASAP.
  2. Draw cards until you get some kind of artifact cost reducer.
  3. You now net {R} every time you cast a 0, 1 and possibly even 2 cmc artifact.
  4. Have fun

Winning:

The most reasonable path to victory is through slugging the table using Embersmith , Pia's Revolution , and Reckless Fireweaver . It's very easy to play and recur several artifacts per turn and each of these will help knock everyone down slowly. Embersmith might completely suck? I'm playtesting with it because it has better synergy than Firebrand Archer or Impact Tremors but the single target and {1} mana cost to activate might make it terrible. I've also included Psychosis Crawler because this deck draws a bunch of cards pretty easily.

The backup plan to winning is to use Ravenous Intruder , Arcbound Ravager and, Fathom Fleet Swordjack to get some hits in. These can all get quite large, hit for a lot and, Ravenous Intruder & Arcbound Ravager double as useful sac outlets.

Want to make it better?

Here are some infinite combos you can easily add to the deck if you want to do that sort of thing...

Grinding Station 1 Grinding Station 2 Grinding Station 3 Blasting Station 1 Blasting Station 2

Just swap out some cards in the winning section. Be wary, Ravenous Intruder and Arcbound Ravager are very important as sac outlets and you could hurt the deck by removing them.

There does not seem to be an obvious way to combo off of Walking Ballista in red but I would be surprised if it wasn't possible.
