Janky new combo/OTK that I brewed up for Dark Frontier. Seems to work okay but needs some tuning!

The idea is to play Glimpse the Possibilities with a Workshop Forge in play and then play the whole deck essentially for free, give everything on your board charge with Death Pit, and OTK the opponent. The perfect goldfish combo kill looks something like this:

T1 Power, Initiate of the Sands
T2 Power, attack with Initiate, Kindle into Workshop Forge
T3 Power, cast any remaining Kindles then Glimpse, hopefully going off and achieving the OTK

It has some weaknesses, namely that you can encounter multiple powers on top of your deck which disrupt your Warp chain. Some considerations to reduce the chance of fizzling are Shugo and Temple Standard- they become free spells once you have enough power to stick a Forge, effectively reducing the number of powers in the deck by almost one third. In addition, Talir's Favored and Seek Powers become free and thin the deck of additional powers. Packbeasts are also free, and provide a stacking effect that allows us to continue dropping powers off the top on our combo turn. Blurree let's you Scout away those bricking powers as well.

In testing, the Tactics have been MVPs. The Shugos do a lot of the work in pushing damage through, and the Temple Tactics offer great utility with the merchants, Packbeasts, and work as blocker removal as well. The thinning utility is incredible for this deck as well, significantly reducing the number of fizzles.

The things I am most uncertain about are the ratios of Packbeasts/Blurreechasers/Katanas/Trickster Mages. I have also been back and forth on a second Death Pit to improve the odds of finding one before fizzling. The market feels like it is in a good spot overall, but I have gone back and forth on the banner and a Flame Blast. Sometimes you fizzle out but a Flame blast in the market would have secured a kill the next turn.

If you have any feedback or get around to testing this archetype please let me know! I would love to tune this list; the deck is a blast to play if combo is your thing!
