Several intertwining mechanics that are idependent of one another yet enhanced by each other.
The goal of this deck is to cast
Primeval Titan
and to use its ability to pull Boros Garrison + Slayers' Stronghold
enabling it to attack the same turn as an 8/6 Trample, Vigilance, Haste. When Primeval Titan attacks, use its ability to then pull Simic Growth Chamber + Tolaria West
and bounce Tolaria West back to your hand. Transmute Tolaria West and pull
Summoner's Pact
. Use Summoner´s Pact to pull another Primeval Titan.
Though common, it is not important that the above be completed on the same turn. The rest of the deck is there to enhance the goal above and to diversify the mechanics so that this process begins frequently on Turn 2 or 3.
The effect of
Amulet of Vigor
stacks in two ways, firstly that each Amulet of Vigor allows
Simic Growth Chamber
to produce mana by untapping then tapping once per Amulet of Vigor under your control, this occuris before designating which land you will return if not Simic Growth Chamber itself. Secondly, by having at least one Amulet of Vigor on the battefield along with a
Dryad of the Ilysian Grove
you may cast Simic Growth Chamber, tap it per Amulet of Vigor and then bounce itself back, repeating the process as often as Dryad of the Ilysian Grove allows, effects stacking.
The mechanics of Amulet of Vigor with bounce/shock lands synergize well with the Arbor Elf + Garruk Wildspeaker + Utopia Sprawl
combo. Together, this allows for regularly getting 3-4 mana, accasonally 6, Turn 2 and a high probability of casting Primeval Titan Turn 3. The aim is to do so consistently and, if not, then to adapt.
Dryad of the Ilysian Grove
enhances every mechanic of the deck by allowing an additonal land drop to fill your field, abusing the Amulet of Vigor + lands combo, often allowing me to cast it and then another 3 drop Turn 2 and by making all your lands every basic land type which allows easy mana fixing for splashed colors and, unlike
Azusa, Lost but Seeking
, Dryad of the Ilysian is not legendary so it and its effect stacks.
Primeval Titan
tutors
Tolaria West
which then tutors a
Summoner's Pact
,
Intervention Pact
,
Pact of Negation
,
Pact of the Titan
or
Slaughter Pact
. Ideally, I would want to tutor a Summoner´s Pact however, using the Pact cards while
Hive Mind
is under your control forces your oppenent to pay the card´s upkeep cost, thus losing the game if they lack the color or available mana to pay going into their next turn.
Often I would get 4 mana Turn 2 yet no
Garruk Wildspeaker
in hand which slowed my mana ramping, so adding
Mwonvuli Acid-Moss
provides another potential 4 drop Turn 2 that slows my oppenent and thins my deck while ramping my mana and slowering my oppenents early game. Between the multiple copies of Courser of Kruphix and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove providing 2/4 protection and land mechanics, Mwonvuli Acid-Moss is great for pacing the early game to my tempo.
Early Frost
helps with this between Turn 3 and 4 while also comboing with the Hive Mind + Summoner's Pact
combo as a cherry on top.
Regardless of how the mana is produced, the best case scenario is
Primeval Titan
Turn 2 or 3 followed by another
Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
, often occuring the same turn on Turn 3 or 4.
Happily looking for opinions and suggestions! This deck has a multitude of intwertwining synergies so it can get confusing!
