Introduction


There is a lot to a hero's life, saving damsels, slaying dragons, meeting fans, Flying through interplanar portals on a pirate ship to fight godlike monsters, but that doesn't mean that we can forget about the most important meal of the day. That's why I start everyday with a plate full of Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Potatoes, Toast and a little bit of spice to top it all off. Remember, if you want to be a hero, you must eat like a hero.


Overview


Its a Combo deck, goal is to assemble one of the decks many different card combos to win the game, using your various egg effect and tutors to draw into and find the various pices required.


Combos


Deathmantle


These combos are designed to abuse the card Nim Deathmantle to generate infinite value off various ETB effects, death effects and tap effects. All of the combos involve a sacrifice outlet of some sort, how they work is detailed ahead.

Trawler/Retriever


Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever + Krark-Clan Ironworks + 2x 1-cost Artifacts

This Combo abuses the way that the rules handle the paying of costs, and the fact that KCI's ability is a mana ability meaning that it doesn't use the stack. To pull off this combo you need to have KCI, Trawler, Retriever and one of the 1-cost artifacts on the field and the other 1-cost artifact in your hand. You announce that you are casting the 1 cost artifact in your hand then overpay its cost by sacrificing the Trawler, Retriever, and the 1 cost artifact, this gives you 3 Trawler triggers and a Retriever trigger, and more importantly allows you to select the cards you just put into the graveyard with these triggers as they go onto the stack after all costs are paid. Using the 2 Trawler triggers you return the 1 cost artifact and the Retriever, and with the Retriever trigger you return the Trawler. With the remaining 5 mana from the KCI you cast the Retriever and the Trawler. From here you can loop this to gain infinite ETB Triggers, so adding a Purphoros, God of the Forge to the mix is lethal damage for everyone. This combo becomes even more potent if you have a zero mana artifact in play, as you can use the leftover Trawler trigger to return it to your hand for free, giving you something else to sacrifice to the KCI, allowing you to net 2 mana per loop; or if you are using the Terrarion or Chromatic Star as one of your 1-cost artifacts as they both will draw you a card on each iteration of the loop.


Sunforger


These combos revolve around building a combo engine around the card Sunforger , and the looping of Faith's Reward to generate infinite card draw, and usually some mana along with it, allowing you to end the game. All variations of this combo require Sunforger , Conjurer's Bauble , a way to make and any creature.

Misc


Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts

This is the classic Kiki-Jiki combo, where you create an infinite amount of hasty conscripts that can be used to swing for lethal. To pull this off you need both cards on the battlefield, you tap Kiki-Jiki targeting the conscripts, then with the trigger off the newly entered Conscripts token you target Kiki-Jiki, untapping him. From here you can repeat this any number of times.
