Repetitio Est Mater Studiorum

Naban tribal combo/control. So far, I realy like what this deck turns into. Tons of synergies and combinations hidden inside, I continue to find more and more.

It's still WIP and detailed description will be later.

Feel free to leave any suggestions and tips, I will be very grateful for any help!

Engines

1. Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + sufficient number of mana rocks, or Coveted Jewel / Grim Monolith / Mana Vault - infinite mana and untapped nonland permanents.

2. Archaeomancer + Coveted Jewel + Ghostly Flicker - infinite card draw and infinite casts.

3. Archaeomancer + High Tide + Snap + Naban, Dean of Iteration - as a result we will get infinite mana and infinite spell casts, this one is a bit tricky because we will need to have at least 5 Ilands and Naban on the field

4. Ghostly Flicker + Naru Meha, Master Wizard - infinite mana and ETB triggers of lands/creatures/artifacts

How do we winning?

Magic iteration (Wizards wins):

---

Usualy we win with one of the infinite mana engines from above and the folowing wizards on the field:

• Venser, Shaper Savant + Naban, Dean of Iteration - bounce all enemy permanents and spells. Since with our commander Venser triggers twice, it just bounce with one of those triggers itself for recast

• Patron Wizard and Dramatic Scepter combo - prevens your opponents from casting spells

• Azami, Lady of Scrolls - infinite card draw

---

Other combos:

1. Starting with Archaeomancer + Coveted Jewel + Ghostly Flicker Engine, we draw cards until we find all our 0 cmc roks and then cast Sapphire Medallion , from here we have infinite mana and we draw all our library = win.

2. Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + Sensei's Divining Top - infinite card draw

3. Any infinite mana engine + Pull from Tomorrow - infinite card draw

4. Dramatic Reversal + Grand Architect + Isochron Scepter - infinite activations of Scepter and infinite casts
