There's actually a Sultai deck that has a similar "draw your deck and make infinite mana" combo I came across recently that uses Patchwork Crawler of all things, and actually uses your graveyard so it's much easier to pull off. The idea is to get a Deathbloom Ritualist, a Depth Charge Colossus and a Vohar, Vodalian Desecrator (and another 4+ creatures, ideally) into the graveyard, then use Patchwork to exile the Ritualist, tap it for mana, exile the Colossus, then use that ability to untap/tap and make infinite mana and exile the Vohar to pick through the deck until you hit a Light up the Night, then make enough mana to kill your opponent. It also makes use of Training Grounds to make the combo easier to pull, Tyvar to make it possible to pull in a single turn and return the main combo creature from your graveyard, and then cards like Otherworldly Gaze, Moment of Truth, Shigeki, Rutstein and Old Stickfingers to just pack your graveyard full of all of your stuff. You could in theory run a mono-blue version using the same Patchwork Crawler + Depth Charge Colossus, but sub out Ritualist for Omen Hawker and use a few copies of Triskaidekaphile to draw up to 13 cards in-hand on your opponents end step and win on upkeep if you wanna go that route. It'd mean you *have* to have a training grounds on the field to make the combo work, and it wouldn't be able to do in in a single turn, but at least you wouldn't have to worry about your mana base?
I've been experimenting with my own version of this idea. Mine is firmly in the jank deck category because it has so few creatures that you're in trouble if you don't draw Kami. Because I don't have Light up the Night or good direct high damage spells in my collection, my win condition is to swing in with large trample creatures. I don't use Fading Hope or counterspells and use +1/+1 counter options to pump the team and Kami. Additional cards that people may consider using depending on their collections includes: Witch's Web (for pump and untap); Tyvar's Stand (pump Kami so it makes more mana when untapped, indestructible, hexproof), Gaea's Gift (pump, indestructible, trample so Kami can swing in for lethal), Awaken the Woods (mana, creatures to swing & block with, creatures to convoke with, forests to count toward Nissa's -7 pump), Transcendent message (x card draw, convoke), Defiler of Vigor (to pump the team with +1/+1 counters by summoning lots of green creatures with excess mana), green permanents like Ozolith the Shattered Spire (to add extra counters), Vivisurgeon's Insight (draw cards, convoke, and proliferate +1/+1 counters), Nissa Ascended Animist (cast with excess mana and -7 to give trample to the team to swing in for lethal that turn), Fight rigging (for +1/+1 counters and to freely cast a card), Dormant Grove (for +1/+1 counters and to give team vigilance), Slip out the Back (to protect Kami and give +1/+1 counters). I run a few Armored Scrapgorger for opponent graveyard control and to help with ramp. It's not too difficult to pump Kami over 1000/1000 if you're able to get the tap/untap/card draw cycle going.
Wtf? I am a player from week and a half. The precision with which you are clicking the interface is on point! I can see the muscle memory from doing all this.
I've just googled this because somebody on arena used this on me today. It was in bronze too (haven't grinded in a while). I was awestruck. Great video. I might try to build this myself...
Don't forget some of the cards are rotating out of Standard, including Lier, so I wouldn't recommend crafting too much that could be wasted. There's a new unlimited mana deck which is also pretty fun including Sleep Cursed Faerie, Kami of Whispered Hopes, and Agatha's Soul Cauldron.
@@gameschooldadMTGwhat you're suggesting here seems the simplest. I think I'll try that. Thank you for the advice! One thing I have to contribute is that Shivan Devastator can replace Light Up the Night for next rotation. Not the hardest part to figure out, but I guess it helps.
Yeah Cradle Clearcutter does have a similar mana ability, but it's only green mana, so it wouldn't help drawing cards or getting the red mana for the final attack. If I included that one too, I'd probably change the mana base a little to fit it, or include something like Celestus that can tap for any colour.
@@gameschooldadMTG oh ok, mea culpa then. I thought you took it from goldfish, because I remember watching the mana combo on his channel just a month ago. All in all it's a good combo.
Not balanced and slow, need improvements. Lavaspur boots it's a game changer to start the combo when kami enters. Also cards distribution need improvements
@@MrElite85 that's great, giving Kami haste would really help, unfortunately lots of the cards are rotating out of Standard in a few days, so the best version of this at the moment uses Kami, Sleep Cursed Faerie and Agatha's Soul Cauldron, but i don't think it's a seriously competitive deck.
@@gameschooldadMTG I suppose it's probably more fun to use than play against lol. I will admit I was mystified and curious... But my least favorite part of Arena is the sheer number of high end meta decks I encounter. I always most enjoyed playing against and with the random decks people came up with from mostly cards on hand.
