This is just a fun (and monetarily cheap) deck idea, probably not very competitive, but any feedback is nevertheless appreciated. Heres what youre trying to do:
The centrepieces of the deck are Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice, they are usually played for free and then provided with charge counters, or played using an already charged Astral Cornucopia / Everflowing Chalice.
You have multiple ways of supplying Charge counters to your Astral Cornucopia / Everflowing Chalice. These are Coretapper,
Energy Chamber
and
Surge Node
, or if possible using
Dismantle
to redeploy the counters on
Surge Node
Another key Piece, so to speak, is Voltaic Key. Its simple ability becoming extremely powerful when you have an Astral Cornucopia with anywhere from five to ten Counters on it.
Two
Filigree Sages
are in the deck because they allow us to get infinite mana, provided our curnocopia/chalice are producing four mana,which is not terribly difficult
We then dump all of our mana into x of one of the damage dealing spells ( Banefire, Invoke the Firemind ) in the deck and kill our opponent.
"What are the chances of all that falling into place!?" I hear you cry. You raise a very valid Point. It is usually not that hard to get the Astral Cornucopia / Everflowing Chalice working. At that point there a few possibilities. We have/draw a voltaic key and one or two damage dealing spells, or we have/draw Invoke the Firemind or Mind Spring and dump our mana into them in order to find what we need. When dumping mana into draw spells it advisable to leave open at least two mana, so that if you draw a Voltaic Key you can play it and untap your mana Producer, allowing you to cast a lot more stuff on that turn.
Another card which I added recently also helps with consistency. This is Tezzeret's Gambit, which we can cast quite early, thanks to phyrexian mana, to draw two cards and proliferate.The proliferate puts even more counters on our mana artifacts, which is always appreciated.
Buried Ruin is another recent addition, its purpose is to bring back coretappers, because why not.
Everything being said, it is still not the most reliable of decks and any suggestions to remedy this are appreciated.
