Super Twiddle! Also Splinter Twin combo...

Seems better than myr galvinizer. Also works good with Kikki jikki

I'm looking forward to playing the Splinter Twin combo. Solid, 2-card-combo which is also quite resilient. Flash + 4 toughness makes Deceiver Exarch pretty hard to Remove. Can also be backed up with Dispel/Spell Pierce.

I guess if you had an infinite mana combo this could also combo with Mimic Vat...

Do we have one in standard?

The infinite mana with myr combo. 2 Myr galvanizers and either 1 Palladium Myr or 2 colored mana myr.

Right! So weird double combo deck in Standard with Mimic Vat backup? I suppose Splinter Twin on Myr Galvanizer is basically game as well...

We could call it Double Rainbow :P

4 Splinter Twin
4 Deceiver Exarch

4 Iron Myr
4 Palladium Myr
4 Myr Galvanizer

4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Preordain
4 Red Sun's Zenith
4 Mimic Vat

24 Land?

:P

Hah, that would be such a fun deck! I'd so love to play something like that.

I've been playtesting a deck, but I'm realizing that combo decks might really struggle in today's standard with cards like Inquisition of Kozilek, Mana Leak, Surgical Extraction, Memoricide, Despise...

[fallenonme]

Note that all of them except for one is black, and all except 2 targets you. So try to do something to protect your combo. That's all you need to do.

This deck is the real deal. I proxied this deck...

http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=829081

The deck uses all of the best non-creature spells in U, B and R to set up the deck's win condition, which happened about 80% of the time on turn 4. I was playing against a Mindcrank/Bloodchief Ascension proxy deck. He was able to go off a turn before I could because I mis-played, allowing him to Inquisition my Deceiver Exarch.

Gitaxian Probe is an all-star in this deck.

Turn 1- Gitaxian Probe for 2 life, then play the appropriate land based on what your opponent revealed.

If he's showing non-creature spells, play untapped black and Duress
If he's showing creature spells, play untapped black and inquisition
If he's showing nothing that will disrupt your win-con, then play a untapped blue and preordian or play a ETB tapped land.

Because of all of the early hand disruption, Surgical Extraction could possibly shine, though i didn't sideboard any of the 15.

Despise also seems like a good MD card as well. maybe over Duress?

A super-fun deck to play, but not so much for your opponent.

Thoughts?
