What is the best way to win from a Saheeli Rai ultimate. Thanks

Wouldn't you want something like a bunch of gearhulks or metalworks colossus to tutor up and put into play. But then your clogging your draws up with all that junk hoping you'll have the 1 in 50 games where you actually get the ult on a walker you play. You should'nt build a deck with the goal of achieving magical christmas land as part 2 of a 3 step plan. It's just not good deck building.

I second Behgz opinion but I will add on a positive, Saheeli Rai is a very good planeswalker that is very underrated. She can fix your draws, force through damage, and the ultimate should be good enough to win. I wouldn't say it's a combo, but if you are playing an artifact themed deck, any time you get to put an artifact of your choice from your deck, pending you built your deck to do something spectacular with artifacts, could be game breaking. Think of all the artifacts in standard and think...a lot of them are very powerful to even utilize her -2 ability on...

God-Pharaoh's Gift

Gonti's Aether Heart

Lifecrafter's Bestiary

Metallic Mimic

Mirage Mirror

Paradox Engine

Planar Bridge

Primal Amulet  Flip

Scrap Trawler

Silent Gravestone

Sorcerous Spyglass

The Immortal Sun

Throne of the God-Pharaoh

Treasure Map  Flip

Vanquisher's Banner

Aetherflux Reservoir

Panharmonicon

All very good artifacts. Some are good to copy with her -2, but all are good to tutor out. You could do an Aetherflux Reservoir and Paradox Engine and Planar Bridge combo deck. Build it around "mana rocks", board sweepers, and an infinite combo to gain infinite mana and cast a bunch of spells to trigger Reservoir, while putting permanent into play with Bridge that draw cards, and then shoot the opponent for a ton of damage from Reservoir. It is probably a fragile deck, but it can be done.

panharmonicon is very uses full as well. even if you just double turn 5 the three triggers would be awesome. doesnt matter what you drop. grixis panharmonicon could be a really good deck.

Gonti's Aether Heart, Panharmonicon and Prophetic Prism to go infinite with Whirler Virtuoso. Strider Harness, Electrostatic Pummeler and Verdurous Gearhulk could work. Paradox Engine, Inspiring Statuary and Cultivator's Caravan to storm off. Panharmonicon, Dowsing Dagger  Flip and Mirage Mirror with a Trespasser's Curse out drains for 16 which would be lethal if you activated Saheeli Rai enough times to get there.

Enchant opponent with Trespasser's Curse, have Mirage Mirror and Panharmonicon out. Make the mirror a copy of Panharmonicon, then play Dowsing Dagger  Flip. The dagger entering would make 2 plant tokens but now is going to make 6 instead because you have 2 copies of Panharmonicon. The creatures entering now are going to trigger Trespasser's Curse, but wait Panharmonicon does its thing again triggering it a total of three times each per plant token meaning you would actually drain them for 18. Clever interaction there. Or make a copy of Trespasser's Curse with Mirage Mirror which I think is what stensiagamekeeper did

True, I hadn't thought of doing it that way. Also in case ColdHeartedSith meant the Whirler Virtuoso combo Panharmonicon doubles the Gonti's Aether Heart triggers so you can pay three energy for a thopter, get four back and do this until you have enough energy and thopters to activate the Gonti's Aether Heart's extra turn ability and swing for the win. The Prophetic Prism was just 'cos I couldn't think of anything and if you don't have the last piece it'll draw you closer to it. Alternatively you could get a Torrential Gearhulk and cast a couple of Glimmer of Genius or something but it doesn't really matter.

Just thought of another one: Aetherflux Reservoir and Paradox Engine with a Greenbelt Rampager in hand and a non-summoning sick Servant of the Conduit. Also a Cultivator's Caravan and a Aethersphere Harvester/Deadlock Trap could replace the Servant of the Conduit and either of those could be the third thing brought out or both if you already have one of the other artifact combo pieces on the field.

Also, come to think of it, in the context of a Saheeli ultimate copying the panharmonicon would be 12 not 18 life drain as the Dowsing Dagger  Flip will have already entered when Mirage Mirror's ability resolves.

I see I like panharmonicon in my RB fireweaver trafficker Mary Master deck. I might throw gontis in there thx
