rakdoswarcaller Yup, thats pretty much it, although I actually have two combos set up here in case one gets disrupted. The first as you pointed out is Enduring Renewal +Ornithopter / Memnite +Blasting Station =infinite damage OR I can use Enduring Renewal +Wild Cantor +Grapeshot =infinite damage. And as long as I have some sort of sacrifice outlet, that last one can work with the 0 cost creatures as well. I suppose I should update the description sometime soon...
jimmyjames2112 Thats pretty awesome, I never thought of using Arcbound Ravager , theres a million different flavors of this deck. Ill probably be trying of different builds as this progresses, and as I acquire the pieces.

Flooded Strand and Arid Mesa would help smooth the mana base a bit more once Khans comes out.

very much agreed, I currently dont have the money for Arid Mesa , but I am crossing my fingers to get some Flooded Strand from the pre release

Any thoughts on Serum Powder to make sure you don't get hosed by random chance? I know it's a risky card, but so is not seeing a single Enduring Renewal until turn 16...

Thanks for the comments! While I have no personal experience playing with Serum Powder , Im not sure that is really going to help my deck, since the free mulligans will end up exiling my cards, using a tutor effect or something like See Beyond /Serum Visions /Telling Time etc. I would probably be more comfortable playing with those (which I also have no personal experience playing, lol) only because "the 'pros' play them over Serum Powder , therefore they must be better"

Yes...but then the 1/1 tokens die immediately after the Myr Sire does. Would be awesomely (albeit redundant) with Purphoros, God of the Forge in play

nice idea. i would suggest to check a similar but maybe mana-wiser combo:
Heartless Summoning + 2 x Myr Retriever + your choice between Grapeshot, Falkenrath Noble, Bitter Ordeal and so on. You basically just keep playing the retrievers with heartless summoning in play. Requires more cards to combo, but at the same time allows to better defend yourself while you gather the pieces. plus, in a perfect game, you can combowin 3rd turn, i believe.
in my personal take on that deck i use myr creatures like Perilous Myr, Myr Superion (very nice with Heartless Summoning in play!), those cute mana myr like Leaden Myr and Iron Myr, and Infernal Tutor + Shred Memory to find combo pieces. Splash some blue in for some counters and there you go!(turns also out being a rather cheap deck!)
peace <3

Hmm, that does work arguably better...but it doesnt use Enduring Renewal...lol. I would definitely try it out. Only issue I see with it, is that it becomes a 4 card combo as opposed to 3, and I have noticed when testing with my deck, I really hate transmuting for cards since it ties up a whole turn to just look for pieces, and can prevent me from keeping up counter magics. As I said though, I will try it out and see it it works out smoother. Altar of the Brood works well in this build as well.

wow, didn't check Altar of the Brood before, nice suggestion, thanks! I totally agree with what you just said, tutoring for pieces can be a real pain.Anyway don't take my previous comment as a serious suggestion, your deck is different and quite fine like that, mine was just a general sharing of knowledge :)

Pact of Negation and Slaughter Pact are much needed. i PT'd your deck and found that i had to drop Enduring Renewal t4 or ild just have a downhill game. Tolaria West could be nice but untapped lands serve better as i found myself really needing to push counters through for the combo win. maybeboard needs to be mainboard imo. pacts here have some of the best uses as any t5 i lose anyway. +1!

That's a very interesting combo. I like it!
You could try Idyllic Tutor to grab your combo pieces from your deck. Or is the library manipulation you already have sufficient?
January 8, 2015 7:57 p.m.
Thanks for the suggestions! As for including the pacts, I would love to, especially Pact of Negation, biggest problem right now is that i dont own any, and its difficult for me to justify the money to get them atm. Though if I did, your right, adding in Tolaria West would be beneficial for finding them.
As for Idyllic Tutor, its mostly a money reason I dont have any. I am running a few Muddle the Mixture, which honestly might just be better anyways, since either one tutors up 2 of the three combo pieces for 3 mana, but Muddle also acts as a counterspell when I need it too.

Just checking I got this right- you blasting station Ornithopter s/Memnites which then return to your hand because of renewal, play blast ad infinitum and then grapeshot?
