This is a combo-control deck that I have tried to make as competitive as possible. All input would be very much appreciated. It has not been updated for a while and i have been under a rock in terms of mtg, so some cards probably have strictly better upgrades i haven't seen.

The goal of this deck is to win. You do this by any number of combos, most of which produce infinite mana to nuke all your opponents. (There are a few ways to make infinite tokens, but those are vulnerable to fogs and board wipes, and they wont have haste, so that is the least optimal win condition.) Mainly you use all the instant speed removal to stop your opponents from winning while building a hand and boardstate that will allow you to combo into a win the next turn.

Combos Show

• Fertile Ground + Pemmin's Aura + Voyaging Satyr any land untapper (Argothian Elder, Kiora's Follower, Krosan Restorer, Ley Druid, Voyaging Satyr + Pemmin's Aura or Freed from the Real and a land that taps for 2 blue gives infinite mana. You can get that land with Mana Reflection, Market Festival, Verdant Haven, Zendikar Resurgent, Fertile Ground, or Dawn's Reflection.

• Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake or Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron

• Palinchron + Riku of Two Reflections

• Riku of Two Reflections + Worldgorger Dragon . Ok. THIS combo. This gives you infinite mana floating and infinite ETB effects and exiles your ENTIRE board, lands too. Also if someone has a Pongify, they can destroy the dragon in response to the exile trigger and your entire board will be permanently exiled, though Ive never had this happen. So try to do this combo when no one can kill it or you have a counter or as a last resort.

TLDR way it works: riku copies dragon and then your things blink then he copies dragon again to blink all your things again and all your lands come in untapped. Then you copy the dragon again. Combo ends when you don't copy the dragon.

Technical Explanation: (you need to understand and be able to explain this to play this combo) First you need to check a few things; Do I have a creature on the battlefield that will kill me if I blink it enough times? Do I have a {U} and a {G} and another source of mana that comes in untapped to continue the combo? Do I have a way to win with infinite mana? Do I have a way to kill the dragon to bring back my permanents if I don't win? Can I counter a kill spell that will exile my entire board? The answers to these questions decide how or if you will play the combo. So the combo its self costs 8 mana, {3}{R}{R}{R}{U}{G} to get started. You cast the dragon. It resolves and enters the battlefield. Riku's ability triggers at the same time as the dragon's. Put the dragon's ability on the stack first, then Riku's ability. Pay for Riku's ability, it resolves, putting a token copy of the dragon into play. The 2nd dragon's exile trigger goes on the stack. At this point there are 2 exile triggers on the stack. Let the stack resolve. The token will exile all of your permanents except for the token its self, then the second exile trigger (from the original dragon) will resolve and exile the token. All your permanents come back when the token is exiled. Then Worldgorger Dragon will re-enter the battlefield, _all your lands will be untapped, and riku and the dragon will trigger again at the same time. Repeat.

Some intricacies of the combo: Lands that enter the battlefield tapped enter the battlefield tapped during the combo. If you have a bounce land in play, you can stack the triggers during the combo so that the bounce trigger resolves when your lands are exiled. When everything re-enters the battle field, put the dragon trigger on the stack, then the bounce trigger, then riku's trigger. If you have a Mulldrifter on the battlefield, as long as you still have Comet Storm in your deck or in your hand, you can put mulldrifter's draw trigger on the stack first every time in the combo and you wont draw any cards until you have as much mana as you need to cast comet storm to win. Then you generate infinite mana, start drawing cards 2 at a time, and when you draw comet storm cast it to kill everyone at instant speed. If you have a scry land in play, you can scry through your entire deck and cut it wherever you want. You cant re-order your deck because you only scry 1 at a time, but you can guarantee your top card is Comet Storm or whatever.

Ramp Show

There are creatures that untap lands like Voyaging Satyr, and effects that make lands tap for more than 1 mana. The creatures and land troning spells synergyse very nicely to multiplicatively increase my mana. Also they can combo with Pemmin's Aura and Freed from the Real.

Dorks that untap lands:

Argothian Elder

Fatestitcher

Kiora's Follower

Krosan Restorer

Magus of the Candelabra

Vizier of Tumbling Sands

Voyaging Satyr

Land enchantments:

Earthcraft is a sudo untap dork idk if i should put this in

Heartbeat of Spring

Mana Flare These 2 enchantments are pretty risky; I usually only drop them when it means I win this turn.

Fertile Ground

Gift of Paradise

Sheltered Aerie

Utopia Sprawl

Verdant Haven

Weirding Wood This also draws a card

Wild Growth

Mana rocks:

Mana Crypt

Mana Vault

Sol Ring

This guy:

Peregrine Drake on its own can act like a Dark Ritual and even more so with riku on the field.
