Welcome

This deck has been a work in progress since Riku of Two Reflections was released. is my favorite color combination in all of magic and when I first saw Riku I was in love. He does everything I enjoyed, he was in the sweet spot between Animar, Soul of Elements and Maelstrom Wanderer

I plan on updating the list any time a change happens and I'm always open for suggestions.

The ideal turn progression goes like this, - Turn 1: Land - Turn 2: Land, 2 cmc ramp - Turn 3: Land, 3 cmc ramp - Turn 4: Land, Riku - Turn 5+: Draw cards, copy stuff and have fun.
  • Turn 1: Land
  • Turn 2: Land, 2 cmc ramp
  • Turn 3: Land, 3 cmc ramp
  • Turn 4: Land, Riku
  • Turn 5+: Draw cards, copy stuff and have fun

After you get Riku out you gain value on everything you play, and in my opinion, have a ton of fun.

There are two main ways to win the game with this deck. I usually attempt in this order Go infinite Steal the best things on the board and win that way
  1. Go infinite
  2. Steal the best things on the board and win that way

If you decide to go with number one there are two paths to do this but they both start with Tooth and Nail. Both ways are viable but the choice is up to the board state. - Kiki combo - Deadeye combo

  • Kiki combo
  • Deadeye combo

Kiki combo (Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts) is the easiest to pull off because it doesn't require extra cards, however it is easily disrupted. The Deadeye combo (Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron) is more resilient to removal but you need either a mana sink or an X-spell to win from there.
