What is this and what does it do? Basically it's Abzan Panharmonicon in frontier without splashing blue. Works a lot better than it sounds. Here's the take:
Elvish Mystic
for ramping and boosting the speed of the deck. Getting this along with a Blooming Marsh or Llanowar Wastes in your opening hand is generally important, but there are several ways to move on if you don't get it in your opening hand. If you do have Elvish Mystic in your opening hand, think really hard before you mulligan (if you want to mulligan, that is).
Siege Rhino is for a brute trample attacker with a sweet ETB effect.
Eldrazi Displacer is for blinking. This will help abuse your ETB effects and also deal with annoying attackers your opponents may control. Also good for triggering revolt on Fatal Push.
Thought-Knot Seer is another great card with a great ETB effect. Also a pretty good attacker.
Elvish Visionary provides a very important ETB effect. Playing this with Panharmonicon on the field draws you two cards.
Eyeless Watcher
is how you ramp some more late game, providing some easy tokens to sacrifice for uncolored mana (which aside from producing mana also helps trigger revolt on Fatal Push). Eyeless Watcher is also a part of an infinite combo that I will detail later on.
Felidar Guardian is an all-around great card in this deck. It enters the battlefield and blinks a permanent of yours (two or more if you have Panharmonicon(s) on the field). Also part of an infinite combo that I will detail later on.
Now for key removal:
Fatal Push. What more is there to say? It's easy to trigger revolt on this even only having 2 fetchlands in the deck.
Declaration in Stone
exiles the target and other copies of it on the field. Perfect for indestructibles and combos that create a bunch of same tokens (much like this deck's own combo).
Abzan Charm exiles a big creature if you need it to, but it also helps you add that extra push to your offense that may just be what you need to win the game.
Other spells include:
Dromoka's Command as support. Also good if you want to get rid of a creature your opponent controls but haven't drawn any removal.
Panharmonicon for the most obvious reason. It doubles your ETB effects (which is the whole theme of this deck).
Now for the sideboard:
Declaration in Stone
, in case you want a second one in the main deck.
Fatal Push, in case you want a fourth copy in the main deck.
Thought-Knot Seer, in case you want a fourth in the main deck.
Eldrazi Displacer, in case you want a fourth in the main deck.
Anafenza, the Foremost is really support for the removal I have in the deck, a good attacker and a buff for another attacker. For the times that you can't win by ETBing your opponent to death. Also a necessary piece against decks that can recast creatures from the graveyard (I'm looking at you, Prized Amalgam).
Noxious Gearhulk for a good attacker with a great ETB effect. Really the only card past 4 CMC in the deck, and straight to my sideboard. Use it if your opponent casts big creatures that you can't get rid of with Fatal Push. Instead of using Abzan Charm, pop this while Panharmonicon is on the field to get rid of the two biggest creatures your opponent has (unless they're indestructible) and gain tons of life. Good for elongating games and maybe even turning the odds in your favor if need be.
Languish for those decks that produce tons of tiny creatures.
Lost Legacy for combo decks and 4c Rally.
Reclamation Sage for artifact or enchantment-heavy decks.
I've been told that the manabase could use more fetchlands, but let me tell you I am on a tight budget, and most of the deck is with cards I could trade for. Yes, even the two Windswept Heaths. Hopefully I can get a job soon as I'm going to be a legal adult in a few months so I can rework the manabase a little. But for the most part, I made the manabase as fast as possible. Hopefully one day the shocklands get reprinted in standard, or some other fetchable lands that are viable for fast play make it to standard so frontier can snatch them up. Until then, I did my homework and determined fastlands, painlands and Aether Hub are the fastest way to go until something faster comes along.
Now, for the combos you've all been waiting for:
Eldrazi Displacer
+
Eyeless Watcher
+
Panharmonicon
This combo works by playing Eyeless Watcher after having Panharmonicon and Eldrazi Displacer on the field. The ETB effect on Eyeless Watcher will double with Panharmonicon, creating 4 Eldrazi Scion creature tokens that you can sacrifice for 1 colorless (or uncolored if you're snobby and unnecessarily technical like me) mana. Sacrifice 3 (leaving one behind) and use Eldrazi Displacer to blink Eyeless Watcher. Repeat the whole process as many times as you want (each time leaving another Scion untouched) and build your tiny little army of Scions for infinite mana and/or infinite attackers. You can use these Scions to infinitely blink Thought-knot Seer and mill the opponent to death (since your opponent draws a card when Thought-knot Seer leaves the battlefield), infinitely blink Siege Rhino and damage your opponent to death or infinitely blink Elvish Visionary to draw either Siege Rhino or Thought-knot Seer and then just win.
And Felidar Guardian
+
Felidar Guardian
+
Panharmonicon
This combo is also an infinite blink combo, blinking any permanent on the field infinitely. Once you have one Felidar Guardian and a Panharmonicon on the field, just play another cat and you will go infinite. Panharmonicon makes Felidar Guardian trigger twice, so when it enters the battlefield, you target the other cat and the card you want to blink. Those enter the battlefield, triggering the cat that got blinked, and so on so forth. Again, paired with Siege Rhino or Thought-Knot Seer being on the field, you just win (unless the combo gets interrupted since this combo is not at instant speed).
So what do you guys think? Please comment and upvote if you like my idea. I spent a really long few months brewing and fixing my ideas before finally presenting them here. So yeah, please share your opinion on it.
