My take at building Breya with intention of pulling combos with Zirda. More info to come soon, looking for feedback and heavy criticism currently.

Wanting to play at the 9/10 level with this. I realize companion dumbs it down a bit, but it definitely has it’s advantages as well. The deck tries to generate infinite man with pretty basic combos and then close out with a X outlet for damage.

Notable Combos KCI + Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek to get infinite life, tokens and or infinite damage w/ Purph.

KCI/ Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + CMDR = infinite ETB’s for Purph or Goblin Sharpshooter damages.

(Scepter/Dramatic Reversal). + Goblin Sharpshooter for inf damage to players. Just need two mana worth of rocks.

Zirda + Monolith(s) for inf. colorless. Inf colored with Prismite or Stonework Packbeast . At that point Breya can be played over and over again dealing 3 to a player each time.

Top + Mystic Forge / Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux R. = infinite cast/life/damage

Also, haven’t played once. Going to need to playtest and adapt overtime to find out where to improve.

UPDATE Games one and two

Games went well against Kess, Dissident Mage , Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice . Game 1 W, after searching for a Grim Monolith and sticking it to the board my companion did their thing. I was able to get colored mana and spam Breya. This is no doubt my top combo and should be top to pursue. Having Zirda available is excellent. G 2, L. I had a lot of value opening hand (Mana Crypt, Talisman, others). I was in the driver’s seat from the start. Eventually annihilator 4(x2) (from Kinnan’s Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre )forced a scoop from me after I was unable to craft a combo.

After playing, I believe I need to cut back on situational cards like Angel's Grace . I also made quite a few adds since the deck’s inception. Faithless Looting , Dark Ritual , Gitaxian Probe + Lightning Bolt all in .

Bears. Beats. Bup voting decks that use companion.

Updates: Games three and four

The deck is operating surprisingly well as it has a lot of options available w/ the extra card in Zirda. I am thinking of taking out Angel's Grace in favor of another removal spell, or perhaps Steel Shaper’s Gift. Both are good options. I think I should go down on a combo, primarily Dramatic Reversal and Scepter. I think it has the weakest potential of the combos in the deck. Getting a few cards will be wonderful. I took two L’s in the games, however I got extremely close to going infinite with Bolas's Citadel , Top, and 50 life cannon, but was thwarted from the beginning thanks to Root Maze . The other game I was in the middle of a well timed infinite mana run using Breya, Nim Deathmantle and Ashnod’s. This time Containment Priest got me. Pretty silly. This deck has been an incredible experience so far.
