This is a deck I've owned and played for years. The deck construction adheres to two basic rules:

• No infinite combos involving less than 5 cards.
• No extra turns.

And in addition, I try to stay away from stuff that wins but has to strangle other decks to do so. People tend to hate that. So for example, the Deadeye Navigator + Seedborn Muse + Venser, Shaper Savant lock is no longer in the deck.

Yes, this deck could be made stronger if these rules were removed. Since I like the competitive side to EDH as well, this is my list if I were to go infinite: Riku - Competitive and Infinite

Make no mistake though, this deck is still fast. It is easy to have upwards of 11+ mana by turn 6-7 with a win in hand (Whether you can resolve it is another matter).

Every card is foiled out if it can be (with the exceptions of Mox Diamond and Mana Drain due to art preference).

Promos aren't marked as foil since they can't come in non-foil.
