A deck that combines ETB abuse with a bit of spellslinger. Im trying to keep tutors to a minimum. Also, no infinites in my playgroup.

Sinergies and spells:

-Time Warp how about taking two extra turns for 7 mana? I could have Temporal Manipulation or Nexus of Fate in here as well, but my playgroup hates these kind of effects so I try no to be too obnoxius.

-Bribery one of THE spells for a Riku deck. If you have excess mana, he can copy the spell itself, then copy the creatures as they enter the battlefield for extra ETB's and tokens. A similar trick can be done with Ghostly Flicker and Conjurer's Closet.

-Genesis Ultimatum See above. A spell that goes so well with Riku. If you get lands with it, you can use those same lands to copy any creatures that ETB with the spell.

-Terror of the Peaks A great creature to copy.

-Cards like Vedalken Orrery, Leyline of Anticipation and Alchemist's Refuge are important because our commander does nothing the turn he enters the battlefield. He's a 5 CMC 2/2 with no immediate impact, so if he gets blown up before we get to untap it could be a tremendous tempo loss. So the plan here is to cast Riku of Two Reflections on someone's end step, and on our turn cast something big like Time Warp or Avenger of Zendikar for a HUGE turn.
