Welcome to Construction Complete !

Though it's not exactly the same, this deck is based on oo7x7oo's deck Sharuum Artifact Combos: Infinite Possibilities. It's an amazing deck that you should really check out, if you haven't already. The reasons why we've posted our own version, are the following:

  • The original contains some cards which us normal mortals will never be able to obtain unless we suddenly win a lottery or something. This version doesn't contain any cards that are worth more than forty euro's :)
  • The reason we got very interested in this deck, was because of the many awesome combo's it contains. However, we felt we could only truly appreciate these combo's if we found out exactly how they worked (and also whether they were actually legal). We wanted to write these combo's out, so that others (even new players to MTG) could make sense of them.

Feedback to this deck is more than welcome, but before you give any, please take note of the following:

  1. Members of our playgroup feel that the primary goal of playing a game of EDH/Commander is that all players participating have a fun time. This means most of our EDH/Commander decks are not meant to be competitive. We enjoy the occasional infinite combo (mostly because they can be hilarious), but none of us feel the need to build decks that are exclusively about them.
  2. We have not bought any new cards since June 2016. We still trade cards though, but only when we feel the trade adds something to our collection without significant loss to it. This means that whenever you are suggesting a new card that we do not own, chances are pretty slim it is going to end up in our deck. Please do not take this personally. Also, please do not let this stop you from making suggestions. Suggestions that do not make it into this deck, will still be mentioned on this page and might be used by others.
  3. Please do not forget to include the card(s) you would remove to make room for your recommended card(s).
  4. Please do not recommend any cards with infect or cards whose sole purpose is to destroy basic lands (non-basic lands are fair game). Our playgroup has banned them.

With that being said, thank you for all your support and if you should decide to use our ideas, have lots of fun with them.

This deck has such a lot of ways to combo off, that it’s actually hard to not run into a combo from pretty early on in the game. In case this doesn't happen, we'll still have multiple tutors to go look for combo pieces. We personally like to use the following order of casting priority:

  1. The early game is meant to get my mana-base in order. So the first few turns we'll be busy casting some of the thirteen mana rocks (like Dimir Signet, Orzhov Signet, Talisman of Dominance and Gilded Lotus) in this deck. If in this stage we come across Sensei's Divining Top or Scroll Rack, we'll try and get those onto the field asap.

  2. By turn four, we start working on two goals: making it hard for people to stop my actions AND making sure others are not going to get ahead of us. The former I try to pull off by casting cards like Grand Abolisher, Defense Grid and Leonin Abunas. The latter we try to accomplish by countering opponents' spells or by putting stuff like Ethersworn Canonist on the field.

  3. Once we have a mana-base and some defensive measures in place, it's time to set up one of the many combo's (or maybe even more than one simultaneously) in this deck. In case by this time, no combo pieces have yet been found (highly unlikely), we use one of the deck's many tutors (like Fabricate or Demonic Tutor), to go look for some.

  4. Finally, combo off and watch your opponents squirm.

This deck actually needs its combo's to win, and there are plenty of them. We've divided them into categories; infinite mana, infinite ping/life loss, infinite mill and mixed combo's:

Infinite mana

This combo works as follows:

  1. Tap Basalt Monolith for 3 colorless mana (mana pool = 5 colorless mana).
  2. Use 3 colorless mana to put the Monolith’s untap ability on the stack (mana pool = 2).
  3. Use 2 colorless mana to copy the untap ability of Basalt Monolith and put it on the stack, using Rings of Brighthearth (mana pool = 0).
  4. The copied untap ability resolves, untapping Basalt Monolith.
