Inspired by the recent MTG Goldfish EDH combo list.

So what makes this deck more fun to pilot than the Tireless Tribe one I hear you ask?

Shennanigans Show

Easy! We are able to get infinitely big creatures and after two creatures hit the table damage is no longer a removal option.

Want clerics? We got them!

The deck runs some utility clerics like Martyr of Sands which allow us to do the pattented block and sac trick to gain enough life to endure a couple of early turns until we get our combo set up. Scribe of the Mindful lets us go really long id the opponent is able to counter every single combo piece while being a cleric.

Why are they here? Is this a temple?

So... why do we want clerics? Because of Daru Spiritualist! This gives eash of our clerics (and Daru itself) a +2 damage buffer against targeted removal like Magma Jet but Crypt Rats and Electrickery can still kill them. If only there were a cheap () way of repeatedly targetting our clerics to repeatedly add toughness...

The prophet arrives

Fret not, the solution is here, cheap and on colour . Give a rapturous round of applause for Nomads en-Kor and his fliying posh brother Spirit en-Kor. With any of these creatures on the board and Daru and his acolytes the team is all of a sudden impervious to damage. With Gruul players banging the table with their heads repeatedly we need a way to survive other types of answers.

He left a sandal!

In the main deck we only really care about our blue chums as Orzhov normally needs sorcery-speed answers (Dead Weight/Journey to Nowhere). For blue we have Hindering Light to avoid being bounced afer turning a cleric Inside Out. Bouncing a creature before the combo goes off usually does nothing as our creatures are cheap as chips and we can usually replay them immediately.

And a water skin!

Merchant Scroll is an all-purpose tutor which finds evasion, protection, and Inside Out.Prismatic strands is there to stop untargettable one-turn creture kills like Vines of Vastwood infect or Apostle's Blessing on an Atog. After hosing them once they will take too long to go off again.The rest of the deck offers nice synergies or redundancy in combo pieces where possible. The sideboard as of now has some artifact and enchantment hate and is missing mostly a reliable way of making Tron weep into a corner. I have considered going into for some other spicy clerics and an infinite life outlet but found that it takes too much away from the combo reliability.

If you have any positive comments, praise or flirtacious comments leave them below. I suppose I may also read deck-building feedback to try and improve the deck, maybe.
