Deck I've been trying out during eternal celebration. Basic combo is this:
Kindo Shadowstep +
Tome of Horrors +
Curtain Call (with the 4 time influence effect) + any discard to start the chain = an infinite discard loop that mills your opponents entire deck in a turn.
I took
Kindo surprise by Fayte87 for a spin but felt it went in too hard on the discard synergy without much payoff and was very susceptible to cards like
Teacher of Humility and
Tocas, Waystone Harvester just ruining your day. So I switched some things around to try and make it a bit more consistent. Here were my changes:
- 4x
Tome of Horrors in main deck instead of market because I felt the combo relied too much on merchants fetching 2/3 of the basic combo pieces.
- 4x
Display of Knowledge is an incredible pick for this deck. basically like having 4 more tome of horrors in your deck and can delay some aggro decks too
- 4x
Banish for more early removal to keep you in the game. Also it gets rid of
Tocas, Waystone Harvester which would otherwise fuck you up.
-
Linrei's Kiss in market for when you need that very last combo piece and can't seem to find it.
-
Honor of Claws instead of
Wisdom of the Elders is a personal choice, either will do.
You want to try and play
Tome of Horrors a turn before and keep it protected with
Transpose or
Cobalt Waystone. if you have at least 1 other card on the board you only need 7 mana to pop off, otherwise you need 9 so you can play
Pitfall Trap and discard.
Only really played it in casual but by god is it satisfying when it goes off, definitely worth a spin while all cards are available to us! Thanks for reading this guide.
