Sideboard


Maybeboard


Overview

Jeskai Control with the ability to randomly win the game using Rally the Ancestors to return Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Restoration Angel.

Hilariously, I found this combo in a Powered Cube draft and had a blast playing it. Sure, there's no Ancestral Recall or Black Lotus in this version like there was in my draft deck, but this deck is still very strong and can be a pain to deal with. Playing out of the yard makes the deck resilient to removal, and the deck is unexpected enough that you'll likely catch a few people off guard when you use it.

Gameplan

For most of the game, you want to play a very controlling game, using the vast suite of counter-magics and removal to keep the board clear, while digging for Gifts Ungiven using all the various card filterers.

Once you have a gifts, put Kiki-Jiki and Restoration Angel into the yard, than using Rally for x equals 5 return them to the field. Kiki can then copy the resto, untapping him via blinking, then he can do it again ad nauseam. Once you have lethal on board, swing for the fences, because all the Kiki tokens have haste.

Note, this is under construction at the moment, and when it's complete, I'd love for this to become a primer.

Thanks @PlattBonnay for the Wraths idea! Thanks @KGW for help with the Mana Base!

The old version of Splinter Twin combo is most likely dead now, but this version is alive and kicking. Very glad I already have my Vault Kiki to play in this deck. I'm resetting the discussion because this is a pretty huge change.
