Draw so hard! // Kydele x Vial Smasher

Commander / EDH Combo Discard Four Color Multiplayer Ramp

Pommesmitsenf


What's better than drawing and ramping? Doing both at the same time. In a four colored deck!

What my deck mainly does is drawing cards... drawing as many cards as possible to generate large amounts of mana with Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix. She is the main general of my deck. (Vial Smasher the Fierce is really just there for her colors and can sometimes act as a distraction or a random three drop if I have nothing better to cast.)

"So why does Kydele need black and red to be her partner colors?" - a question you might ask yourself. When I have Kydele on the board, all I want to do is cast a cheap spell that draws me a lot of cards so I can generate big amounts of mana to cast the drawn cards. The most efficient way to do this are cards like Wheel of Fortune, mainly found in red. Black gives me access to some mean and evil interactions like Notion Thief and Leovold, Emissary of Trest alongside tutor power. I consider it more of a splash color.

Although my deck contains quite a lot of combo options its playstyle is unpredictable. In an average game, I (as well as the rest of the table) will see large amounts of the deck having a lot of diferent options and choices to make. I'm disrupting my opponents' hands while setting up some explosive turns. Kydele has a lot of combo potential for infinite mana. Once you've drawn four or more cards you can go off with Umbral Mantle, Sword of the Paruns and the best of them all: Staff of Domination (this one needs five, though).

I recommend checking out the deck's custom categories. They should make it easier to figure out what I'm trying to do.

You should also check out the update history. My deck is still young and I'm learning to play it. The majority of the cards that have been recently removed is still open for consideration, as well as many other cards I might not have even thought about so far.

When Aether Revolt comes out I'm going to try out two of the new cards. Paradox Engine seems really good with Kydele. It could replace Sword of the Paruns as the weakest of my combo artifacts. With the current amount of tutors I feel like Umbral Mantle and Staff of Domination suffice. The other interesting card for me was Walking Ballista. It could replace Fireball as my infinite mana win-con. The things I like about it are the colorless cost and that it can be tutored with Worldly Tutor, Fabricatefoil, Traverse the Ulvenwald (with delirium online). It can also be welderedfoil and I can cast it whenever I like, especially before I cast a wheel, and let it sit on the board until it is needed.
