Burdenbearer Wisp OTK

Information

1. Nesting Avisaur on a Burdenbearer Wisp so it costs 0.
2. (5 power) First, attack (you must, for the Onslaught). Reweave the Nesting Avisaur and get an Iceberg Scattershot. Then Mirror Image the Burdenbearer Wisp. You can infinitely return the wisps to hand since you have two, and deal infinite damage to the opponent.
3. Alternatively you can play Iceberg Scattershot by itself, and then do the Iceberg Mirror Image combo, which will only be 3 power at that point.

This deck was inspired when I heard the Dig Site combo, where you reduce the relic costs to 0 and replay both infinitely. But it's a lot harder to get to that 3. I played this deck vs. camat0 on stream here :)

Technically you don't even need the red influence, as Reweave plays from deck, so you might make a version of the deck that is purely TJP with the Winchest Merchant.

50 power to maximize the chance of a combo piece showing up in your opening hand due to the hand draw mechanic.

Update: Credit to ArureTheIncomprehensible - Mirror Image replaced with Twinning Ritual.
Update: The deck runs no seats, so I've replaced sigils with Waystones.
Update: Changed red merchant to green. Not sure about this change.

Have you actually played this deck/won a game with it?
maingi Eternal Version: 1.47.8
Yeah. Admittedly not much but I played camat0 with it on stream and won with it. See the link.
ArureTheIncomprehensible Edited Eternal Version: 1.47.8
This is a cool concept.

I played around with my own take on this deck and felt that Twinning Ritual is a lot more useful than Mirror Image since it costs 1 less and can be pulled from either merchant. Costing 1 less can be a big deal if you only pull crests and want to go off on 4 mana on turn 5, while being pulled from either merchant is a big deal if you find multiples of Auralian Merchant but not Jennev Merchant.

Also, I have also had problems with time, like others. There are around 4-6 seconds between playing each wisp due to animations, and it adds up at high health values. You can't kill opponents from more than 25 in one turn as a result.

You're absolutely right about Twinning Ritual. It's a great change. (I also deleted a part of my comment that said it made it impervious to Torch. That was dumb, I forgot how the card worked :P)

Sad to hear there are issues with the time though.

I’ve had the same issue where most of my games I went off but couldn’t kill opp’s befor time ran out. Love the deck and sent a General Suggestion to DWD to change the time limit when you are making active game decisions.

Love the camat0 analysis prior to understanding what the hell hes playing against haha...then later after finding out "its fine...we lost to this sheet"

Fun concept. The problem with this deck is the time. Is so hard to do 25 damage with it. After you combo off your opp can just wait your turn ends and easy recover. Recurring Nightmare is a little fast and maybe more easy to do the 25 damage.
maingi Eternal Version: 1.47.8
Thank you! I am aware of the turn limit, but you do gain time on your turn by doing an action. I've been able to get the Glimpse OTK combo (which requires a lot more time) in one turn, so I wouldn't think this deck would have a problem with it. It's sad the Recurring Nightmare combo got time-nerfed where you have to wait for the card to go back in hand before you can play it again.
