Saheeli Rai's Splinter Tin deck comes to the neighborhood!
- How the deck works -
This deck takes advantage of either Altar of the Brood or Genesis Chamber to combo-off on virtually infinite milling/swarming.
To achieve that intent we may use one of the the two following combo options:
Main Combos
1-> Liquimetal Coating
+
Saheeli Rai
/
Argent Mutation
creating infinite copies of Saheeli with her -2 ability.
2-> Leonin Relic-Warder
+
Phyrexian Metamorph
making infinite ETB effects on an optional loop.
Both combos can be powered by our extensive dig engine, which includes: Fabricate, Trinket Mage, Thirst for Knowledge, Reshape and Saheeli herself!
In both cases, we have a combo piece that we cannot tutor so easily, namely Saheeli and Leonin Relic-Warder. That problem is partially solved by Thirst for Knowledge though, as it becomes fairly easy to have at least one of them on your hand by T3 with this card.
In an ideal world, the deck can combo-off on T3, more consistently on T4 and T5 max. But we know the world is not fair, and control-heavy decks exist, and that is the reason why the other part of the list is here!
Plans B and C
Hangarback Walker is a very powerful card, allowing us to be aggressive if we are disrupted on our main combos or if we just draw onto him first. It is also an excellent blocker, being able to trade in a way that is much better for us most of the time. Also an excellent target for Reshape
Phyrexian Metamorph, if not used for the combo, can copy a powerful creature, from our opponent's side, or even copy our Hangarback Walker.
Ensoul Artifact is here for those match-ups where the combo refuses to go off, or when we are heavily disrupted and need to be aggressive to win. It can turn a T1 Altar of the Brood into a T2 killing-machine that does heavy damage to our opponent and requires a target change, drawing hate to itself.
As an alternate win-con, we also have Celestial Colonnade, which can pretty much win some matches by itself.
That's it! If you enjoy the deck, please +1 and give your suggestions below!
