The principal pieces of the deck are Flux Channeler , Astral Cornucopia , Paradox Engine and Ring of Three Wishes .

How the Combo Works

• Having Flux Channeler , Paradox Engine and some mana rocks to add mana, play (or normally search it) Ring of Three Wishes and activate it.

• Search for Astral Cornucopia and cast it. You will untap the Ring and all the mana rocks to generate more mana. Also you will put another wish counter on the ring.

• Tap all the mana rocks, active Ring of Three Wishes to search another Astral Cornucopia and cast it. That will untap all the mana rocks, the ring, but also (thanks to Flux Channeler ) will add another charge counter to the Astral Cornucopia that is on the battlefield.

• Repeat this process until you have all the Cornucopias on the battlefield (when you cast Astral Cornucopia pay on X all the mana that you can). As result you will have a lot of floating mana.

• When you have a total of 45 of more floating mana, search with the ring for Walking Ballista , and kill our opponent. If you dont have enough mana to kill the opponent with ballista, you may search with the ring for cheap spells to generate more mana thanks to the mana rocks and Paradox Engine .

About the Deck

• Nonland mana sources: Elvish Mystic , Darksteel Ingot , Simic Cluestone and Hedron Archive : Are the pieces to generate tons of mana thanks to Paradox Engine . Note that Simic Cluestone and Hedron Archive can draw some cards if we need.

• Whir of Invention and Inventors' Fair : Are the tutors for artifacts. I think that Whir of Invention is best that the Fair to tutor Ring of Three Wishes , because it's a spell, and will untap all the mana rocks.

• Finale of Devastation : Is the best tutor for creatures actually in pioneer, and will search for Flux Channeler .

• Witching Well : Cheap atifact that offers some value. The principal objective that it has is help to cast Whir of Invention as faster as possible.

• Fog : This deck isn't very fast, and matchups against aggro decks are awful. And the adaptation to that is play Fog in the maindeck, to have some chances to win aggro decks.

The Sideboard

• Pithing Needle and Tormod's Crypt : The idea is to replace Witching Well in game 2 with some of these (only if we need). Because also are cheap, and can help us to cast Whir of Invention fast

• Natural State : Arifact / Enchantment hate.

• Cyclonic Rift : We can cast this as a very good board whipe with all the mana generated with the combination fo Paradox Engine and the mana rocks.

• Metallic Rebuke : The most of times we will cast this for only 1 blue mana, and we will untap the tapped artifacts thanks to Paradox Engine . That means that in this decks Metallic Rebuke is a counter for only 1 blue mana.

• Damping Sphere : I saw a lot of Storm and Jeskai Ascendancy decks recently in pioneer, and this is really good against these decks. Also i think thst its decent against Mono Green Devotion/Ramp, because it shuts down Nyktos, Shrine to Nyx.

• Ceremonious Rejection : The biggest reason to add this, is my worst fear named Karn, the Great Creator .
