Now, you've seen Maelstrom Wanderer decks. You've also seen Legacy Lands decks. You've also seen Twin decks. What you see here is a love child of the 3! The idea here is wait until you have 8 mana, then cast Maelstrom Wanderer cascading into Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Pestermite and swinging for infinite at everyone. The deck is engineered so that no matter what opening hand you start with, you can combo off by turn 8.

The deck started as just 97 basics, the combo pieces, and Wanderer, but it has grown to much more than that. I'm adding Legacy Lands paraphernalia to the deck, like the Dark Depths combo.

Things that can make this deck go wrong:

• Nevermore or the like targeting Wanderer.

• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker or Pestermite getting countered.

• Instant speed board wiping.

• Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

Other than those things, not much can stop this deck.

+1 if you enjoy!
