Deck Description

Everybody's gotta have a power 9 deck...
incidentally, this was the first 5 color deck i've ever made, and it was before I was aware of the existence of the power 9. so... yeah... if i had tons of money to throw into MTG, this is totally where I'd put them.

How to Play

this deck is, in a word, complicated. i've played it online hundreds of times. I'm still not sure I'm doing things as efficiently as i could

starting hand needs to have complimenting mana. either at least 1 blue, one black, and a demonic tutor, or at least one blue another mana and a time walk. if you have a forest, and a birds, it'll cover anything you need. Mana is not well balanced. sorry. sometimes multiple mulligans is needed (don't judge me, I'm using the power 9!!!
>.<)

use time walks to take an extra turn, tutor for time walks, empty your hand of tutors and time walks and then play timetwister. build mana and play maelstrom nexus/thrumming stone asap

jump forward 3 or 4 of your turns, and 1 or 2 of your opponents

nexus in play, thrumming stone in play. cast enlisted wurm

i like to resolve thrumming first. reveal top 4, and put all other enlisted on the stack.

then cascade for less than 6 for the first wurm. twice. all spells that happen go on the stack, to first be checked for ripple, then for cascade. all their resulting spells do the same, till it tricles down. composite golems are amazing to cast.

composite ripples into the other composite (it happens!)
first one has cascade, turns into bituminous.
both golems resolve
bituminous ripples into nothing
cascades into a time walk
that time walk ripples into another time walk
which ripples into a third
ripples into nothing
all three resolve
sac composite to cast a time twister
replenishes your hand and ruins your opponents. what's the chance that it gave you:
demonic tutor or time walk or time twister, or a more than 3 cost cascade. sac the other golem, and cast stuff... It can build you infinite turns pretty quickly...

btw, surgin flames has ripple 4, then ripple 4 again... and that one does the same...

... 9 over powered cards printed very early in MTG... they are as follows
"Mox" cards {0} artifacts that tap for colored mana (1-5)
"Black Lotus". {0} artifact. tap sac add 3 mana of any color to your manapool (6)
"Time walk". {1U} take another turn(7)
"Time twister" {2U} each player shuffles their hand and graveyard into their library and draws 7 (8)
"Ancestral Recall" {U} target player draws 3 (9)
They are widely regarded to be the 9 most efficient cards in the game and each one is worth thousands of dollars.
