With Enchanted Evening on the board and Sphere of Safety, every permanent you control also counts toward your opponents' cost to attack you for each creature they target you with. (The deck also conveniently includes Cleansing Nova to destroy all enchantments, which is an absolutely devastating total board wipe when paired with Enchanted Evening, especially if you have Avacyn, Angel of Hope in play on your side). Walking Atlas helps get rid of lands anytime it's not tapped (another combo with Mind Over Matter), and Drumbellower and Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset make sure you're able to untap on every turn, so you can play cards anytime - including win-cons like Laboratory Maniac or Jace's Archivist on an opponent's end-step, then draw for the win.Ĭircling back to Sphere of Safety - the deck runs 18 enchantments natively, but also features Enchanted Evening to turn everyone's permanents into enchantments. Tidal Barracuda, and Vedalken Orrery let you cast anything on anyone's turn.

For direct damage and targeted attacks outside of combat, the deck includes The Wanderer and Greater Auramancy.Ĭard draw, treasure tokens, and unlimited hand-size combine with four different Tutors, an Urza's Saga, and a Teferi's Puzzle Box help you keep multiple options in hand, and hopefully keep Kwain hopping one or two steps ahead of your opponents (Remember to use the tutors before your Teferi's Puzzle Box hits the board). Finally, since this deck does not rely on creatures or doing damage to win, and generates lots of cards in hand, Meishin, the Mind Cage is an easy way to reduce all opponents' creatures to 0 power. Silent Arbiter and Crawlspace help directly reduce the deck's exposure to attack, along with Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer for any specific threats or 'when attacks' triggers. The deck has several prison elements with Moat, Silent Arbiter, and Archon of Emeria, as well as Propaganda, Ghostly Prison, and Sphere of Safety. Alternate win conditions include Approach of the Second Sun, Jace's Archivist, Windfall, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, Triskaidekaphile, and Test of Endurance but the deck is also perfectly capable of beating someone to death with a giant fish - or a giant anything thanks to numerous life-gain options paired with an Archangel of Thune. I use a few card-draw creatures as well, such as Shabraz, the Skyshark for their synergy with Kwain. =Īt it's core, the deck is group hug with card-draw, card based mana-ramp, and multiple options for life-gain. This is not a budget deck, but in a gracious nod to Lewis Carroll, it is incredibly fun to go 'down the rabbit-hole'. This deck is a spider-web of synergy and combos, multiple infinite combos, and complete bonkers level shenanigans lurking behind a friendly-looking magic rabbit. This deck was an idea to use some of my old cards, and also see just how nuts I could go with Kwain, Itinerant Meddler.

Gives me (and others) a better idea of how to improve the deck/what you are looking for. Wish I understood the deck better, a description would be great. What purpose of clock of omens serve? I'm sure it's there, I just can't see it at the moment.

I also notice your mystic forge + cost reducer (semblance, cloud) + top = Draw your whole deck. I notice you have the rings + basalt + top to draw your deck. Chalice (4 counters), tap for 4 mana, use voltaic key (3 left) to untap it, hold priority and use rings of brighthearth (1 left) to copy the ability, untapping the key, netting you 1 mana each cycle. Liquid Metal Tongue - What is the purpose of the 2nd ability, politics + neat interaction I'm missing? If its primary purpose is ramp, have you considered swapping it with Everflowing Chalice? Same CMC (effectively, per 2 mana) but has a higher ceiling (I get it, not really needed in a storm combo deck) as it can combo. What is the purpose of junktroller exactly? If it's GY recursion, why not get Elixir of Immortality? It's cheaper to cast, less vulnerable to removal, although it costs you a blocker.
