Infinite mana t4, inspired by the general awesomeness of Karametra's Acolyte. This was legal in standard when it was Theros, M15, Tarkir, so please imagine you are viewing thus at that time. I am making a modern version. Fetch lands are suggested, but I am a poor (not rich) person.Main Weaknesses: Abzan Midrange, Really fast burn.Sideboard in counterspells for the former, disciple for the latter.
Get out infi combo such as acolyte+sabertooth+ascendancy.T4 infi is possible.T1: Forest, tap, mystic.T2: island, tap all, mystic, caryatid.T3: land, gen hydra for 6 into acolyte.T4: land, tap caryatid, island, forest for ascendancy, 4 mana for sabertooth. Tap acolyte for 8, use two to bounce via sabertooth, 4 to replay acolyte, etc. Bounce Genesis, get out any card in library (e.g. Purphoros). Bounce for infi damage, board wipe with Polukranos then attack for infinite, get infinite 1/1s flying death touch haste or infinite infinite/infinites. Win.Possible infinite combos are:Acolyte+Sabertooth+Ascendency+7 devotionAcolyte+Sabertooth+Hammer+7 devotion (if sideboarded in)Acolyte+Bell Strike+7 devotion(In any of these combos, Acolyte can be replaced with [Voyaging Satyr+Nykthos] with no change save in the bell stroke one, which would then need 9 devotion)

It's good...
Yeah, it's good. It probably wouldn't be able to stand up to modern though.
That is why I ask people to pretend they are looking at it a few months ago, pre-origins, when it was standard. The only-non standard cards are from Theros, and, excluding reprints, there are no origins or BfZ cards.
Oh, ok. Didn't see that. So yeah, cool deck, but... Abzan?
If you are asking why the deck is vulnerable: Abzan destroys your ramp/creatures/everything, and then crushes with siege rhino. That's why I put counter spells in the sideboard, it still probably wouldn't be enough, but it's better than nothing.
Yeah, if I needed to beat this deck back when it was standard, I would've played abzan...
I own a rifle just big enough to kill a mooseman...
and a bob too.
COOL DECK. I don't know you at all...
It is, isn't it... DOKKOR!
No killing pls...
In the How to Play, shouldn't it be bounce VIA Sabertooth, not bounce Sabertooth?

Good catch, thx.
who said the one about dokkor cos it wasnt me. the one about killing is though
***a budgeted standard deck, if thats possible: http://www.mtgvault.com/wowwow27/decks/landho-have-a-cigar/ ...also the bigger cards may hold modern value. thank me later-
I discourage spam (ahem, Remy, ahem), but at least I'm on the hot page!
What did i post that was spam?

Below is the deck I used in standard at the same time this was standard. My sideboard was all control. Your sideboard looks good, but my number one save was Stubborn Denial. They usually only had enough mana to just cast the counter, but not the extra 1.Purphoros is not needed. You need Nylea to give your big baddie trample, or another way to win with pumping. Hydra broodmaster and hornet queen are too much fat and not enough to hit combo.You need 4 singing bell strike. With my deck there were enough ways to go infinite that if they killed my first attempt, I had another just around the corner. http://www.mtgvault.com/bfrick2/decks/temur-ascendancy-v2/
Too many bell strikes can get stuck in your hand, or worse, kill your ramp if you don't have enough devotion. Purphoros is actually my favorite way to combo, as a fog can't stop it (bounce any creature with Sabertooth) Furthermore, With other etb effects (drawing cards, hornet queens, Genesis hydra, Purphoros provides a nice side effect.
I mean, just hornet queen when Purphoros is out deals 10 damage as an ETB effect!
This deck looks something like what Connor won TCG's 5k Cleveland with. Last year
Great idea! It is also possible to do this with enough Devotion and Singing Bell Strike.Check out my new infinite combo deck based around enchantments atwww.mtgvault.com/s0rimark0v/decks/infinity-of-nyx/
Thanks! Your deck looks good!

You took this deck from a mtg youtuber! Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx16e3Mj2U8 Not saying that you copied the entire deck, but you could have at least gave themanasource credit D:
I have actually never watched that video. I just started getting into magic last year and well... Let's just say in the beginning I was terrible. The first time I made an infi deck, it was elvish archdruid + Umbral mantle. I only ran about 8 elves. It evolved into acolyte+mantle, then into standard acolyte+bell strike, then finally I saw sabertooth and ascendancy and a light went off in my head. Ask my friends for proof.
Plus, my combo is very different from that one, I mainly use acolyte and found myself disagreeing with that video multiple times.
Yeah, i feel like your harsh judgement may have been slightly stoked by jealousy of the creator of this great deck.Acolyte is going up in value.
Although after watching that I readded Nylea's Disciple.
find the most powerful commons, and build around those cards.... like slip through space, void snare, etc.... these are just examples, but cards like that bind the deck.
Liam, remember that deck is also susceptible to flying, such as my dragons, which killed you easily.
Um.... What are you talking about? I destroyed your dragons. Every time we've played I've infied, or hornet queens before your dragons could kill me.
No, I killed you, what are you talking about.
What r u talking about, m8. I beat ur dragons every time,
ladies, ladies, please.
Agreed. Settle this like gemtlemen. Bust out 2 different decks and sort it out!
A good idea would be to add four Helix Pinnacle, as even if they manage to kill all your creatures, you can have put 100 tower counters on it turn four and win at the start of turn five.
I find the haste or bouncing with Purphoros (especially the latter) works better.

So you win just by replaying creatures right? So instead why not just use grapeshot as a win condition instead of Polkukranos or Hornet queen? Also you need more card draw to be consistent so Serum visions is good. Also Simian spirit guide can allow you to get some good early mana, and lastly boseji to protect your combo and Pact of negation as well and you have yourself an infinite combo win condition in modern
This is the version I used in standard, I am preparing a modern version.
Oh I know, I was trying to help you out with ideas :p
Ok, thanks then!
Nice deck, can't wait to see u'r modern version :)However I don't really see the utility of the red and blue cards that u can remplace by other green cards (is this a counter to protection and all ?).
The red is for Purphoros and Ascendancy mainly, blue for ascendancy, bell strike and counterspells.
I myself like the deck but I am a fan of jeskia combo. Not sure which of the two are better. Just think white offers more???
Jeskia ? I can't see why white would offer more O.O
Well guess depends on the player. I myself like cards such as path to exile, silence, monastery mentor in the jeskia combo. Not saying that this deck isn't good just not my cup of tea. Just think it's slow if they have answer for the mana producers. Which any deck is slow it they have the answers.... LOL
Of course that's why magic is so nice :p
Oh and I was think you draw alot of cards with this deck. So instead of running the bells run 2 Sphinx's Tutelage it will help clear out some problems and could keep them from the land they need also. Just thought tho
I can't see where he draws a lot of cards
Once ascendancy is out every time creature with power 4 or greater you draw a card. There are 12 target that will let you draw a card and upkeep. So not alot of draws but enough to mess them up a little more then the bells. But once again that's a players choice.
True, i didn't think about that.
Great thing about sites like this. So many different players seeing different strategies. Can see that one thing to bring a deck together and it's never crossed your mind.
Yes i agree that's really helpful :)
One thing I did mention earlier is that it is possible to make infinite mana woth Singing Bell Strike if you have enough devotion. That's probably the reason it's still in here
Yeah, it's a backup, I much prefer ascendancy-Sabertooth, as it gives more options.
Oh and another good thing about sphinx's tutelage with all that mana you can use it to draw even more cards
I think your board is vulnerable versus creature removal. Maybe some Vines of Vastwood / Ranger's Guile or Wrap in Vigor could help?
For a modern version, yes, but this is standard
After his block rotated out I don't see a point of keeping it in a "past standart" format
I am creating my modern version.
I'm surprised no one mentioned this. You can double up on Voyaging Satyr with Kiora's Follower. Just like the satyr, it can untap Nykthos, but unlike the satyr, it can also untap Karametra's Acolyte. The Follower even adds the same amount of green devotion.
Problem is, follower can't be bounced repetitively due to the U in its mana cost. I considered it but decided against.
It's a good deck but needs some improvements, why not consider do some Deathouch or tramplers in the deck. One suggestion to do put a Acidic Slime (M13) and a Garruk's Horde (M13). They are very good cards, they can put more aggro.
Thanks, I might use those suggestions in the upcoming fully modern version.
You're welcome.
I was just rereading the how to play again. And can't figure out how you hydra for 6 on turn three? I only come up with 5. 3 lands and two creatures that produce one mana each
Land, tap, Mystic.Land, tap 2 lands and a mystic, mystic+caryatidLand, tap 3 lands, 2 Mystics and a caryatid.Hope this helps.
Oh ok I was thinking that mystic was the one you were taping didn't realize it was second one played. Thanks
Happy to help! ??
????????????
I guess emoji come up as ??'s, lol.
No, I was wondering why you said ! ??
It was supposed to be a smiley face emoji. :-(
Smiley face emoji is :-)
I know, I meant to put the actual emoji, not just the representation that :-) is
why use slinging bell stirke whwn you coold use the sword of paruns or staff of dominion umbral mantle!LOL! imo is okdek but colde be worsert- may god bless ur'e souls
In my modern version I will use them.
wow jnocne dek i really like the 1 mana elfves cause i kill mblack people in vietnamese war. I personally believe unklkel istvan is a very good creatuirrwe card tyo add to you rdkeck because i want to wash ihis backlike i did back in the day duyring the witner war wjheme i was feeding my cows. over ui really hate niggers and lover frogs. i also think this is very nice deck thdfrartfygrhieger rgerifgncniughe-.
yes, Liam.
Joe, i don't think this was liam who wrote this...
MBor, please have... Some, any form of correct grammar or spelling. Just enough so that it is understandable.
No, that is Liam.
people prove ignorance knows no limits time and time again. if i loved you for doing all the wrong things, how is this considered anything but hate? and if i hate what your doing (to excess), well, this expression is closer to love even if anger gets in the way. either way, we are all slowly decaying, and no amount of ill conceived love can change this fact.
i guess some people are wizards, and bad is good.
Agreed. I always make sure to use correct grammar and spelling online so people don't simply mistake me for s 12yro who isn't on CoD for whatever reason. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out what he said, and normally I am pretty good at it
My name isn't Liam. I am my own man and I have my own bucket of chicken.

i need heavier medication to deal with you people.
So you have x4 temur ascendency, with 8 cards that can activate it. Then you have x4 Hammer of Purphoros.... You would never want to draw a duplicate of this card unless your opponent destroys one..... Very awkward ratios, seems like a bad deck.
He's using the Ascendancy for the Haste.
The Ascendancy and Hammer are, in essence, haste enablers to combo with sabertooth and acolyte. And yes, I agree that having 2 Hammers isn't good if no one destroys either... BUT that is a big 'if'.
overkill, i wouldn't want to be holding two
No, you wouldn't. But you would want even LESS to have none.
friendly seems to get me in a world of hurt everytime
so when i say i hate you i mean it half heartily so you might be my half. i was wrong tho' u failed me.
My modern version has been created!http://www.mtgvault.com/foolishdeckbuilder/decks/budget-modern-infinite-mana/
with red in the mix, there has to be a burn card you can cast, and pay an additional cost to return it to your hand, doing it over again. i think remember seeing it this one time, butt I'm nut sure if it was valued higher.
Or he could just play one of the many X damage spells.
I find other ways to be more efficient and helpful even if I DON'T actually get out the infi combo.
You should add a gleemax, because this is one of the only ways to get one out. Also, if you want infi-mana that bad, why don't you just tutor out a mox lotus?
Because unhinged cards are banned from all formats except causal, and this is modern.

Ah, see I didn't know that.
They are now legal in Vintage and Legacy. From memory, they've been like that for a while now
