I really love cEDH. Playing optimally is what intrigues me and to me, promotes the most interesting of games.

I wanted something 'out of the box' so to speak than the 'normal meta'. I very much enjoy the "1 Card Combo" aspect of Tivit, Seller of Secrets and wanted to see if I can make something work with a reanimator strategy (another interest of mine). So, naturally, Kroxa and Kunoros seemed like the obvious choice.

Combo Lines:

1 Card Combos: These are called that because you already have access to your commander, so you just need the 1 card to 'pop off'.

Altar of Dementia = You can either play this first, and then play K & K; or if you already have K & K in play, you can play Altar and then proceed to combat to get the trigger mid-combat. The way this works is, you have to respond to the trigger of K & K either Entering or Attacking. You respond by sacrificing K & K to Altar and mill yourself equal to K & K's power (6) and ensure that K & K goes to the graveyard (DO NOT PUT IN COMMAND ZONE). You resolve the trigger by exiling 5 cards that don't matter (more discussion below) and returning K & K to play and repeat these same steps to mill yourself out.

Buried Alive = With enough mana (and at least 5 cards in your graveyard), you can use this to tutor the following creatures to then start the chain with K & K (preferably Entering). The 3 creatures you get are Karmic Guide, Felidar Guardian & Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. K & K's ETB trigger goes off, your first target is Karmic Guide and then that brings back Felidar Guardian, which then brings back Kiki-Jiki. With Kiki-Jiki in play, you then tap Kiki to copy Felidar Guardian, the copy 'flickers' Kiki and you rinse and repeat. This results in an arbitrarily large number of Felidar Guardians that you can now attack with for lethal.

Other WinCons (layered):

Altar of Dementia = Once we have milled ourselves, our last trigger from K & K is going to reanimate Karmic Guide, then Felidar Guardian which 'flickers' Karmic, and then Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward. Abdel exiles Felidar and Karmic, creating 1/1 tokens. You then sacrifice Abdel to Altar milling everyone else out (or yourself if you had the pieces in the graveyard already and have not finished milling yourself out yet), which then brings back Felidar and Karmic. Karmic triggers and targets Abdel again, Felidar triggers and targets Karmic. The end result is you will then be able to reanimate Abdel over and over and over again, all the while pulling all the other creatures from your graveyard to play. You use your 'infinite' tokens to mill out your opponents. Pass the turn and let them 'die' to drawing from an empty library.

Dualcaster Mage+Molten Duplication = 'Infinite' Dualcasters to attack with, so long as you already had a creature in play that you can target Molten Dup with.

Dualcaster Mage+Sevinne's Reclamation+Altar of Dementia = Dualcaster and Sevinne's being in the Graveyard is a must, otherwise you just need a lot more mana. Casting Sevinne's from the graveyard with its 'flashback' cost, creates a copy of itself, your first 'reanimation' target should be Dualcaster, Dualcaster enters before the 2nd copy resolves, Dualcaster targets the copy of Sevinne's and before the trigger resolves, sacrifice Dualcaster to Altar to mill an Opponent. Repeat until Opponents are all milled out and proceed to pass the turn.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker+Felidar Guardian = 'Infinite' Felidar's to attack with.

There are some other long-winded lines, but that is something more in depth I don't have the mental capacity to type out.

Check it out. Try it out. And as always, keep on shufflin'!
