Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Main"},{"insert":"\nCommand the power of Air to blow your enemies away! By While airbending is certainly a fun way of interacting with your opponents, the deck is centered around the ability to airbend your permanents. Creatures with cast triggers (eg cascade) become continuous value loops when cast every turn, and removal is just a suggestion when you can airbend your way out of danger. Importantly, cost reduction does apply to your airbending costs, which means many spells in the deck can be cast for free with sufficient reduction. This leads into the combo — the focus of the deck.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"5+ Card Combo(s)"},{"insert":"\nThere are two main ways to combo infinitely with this deck:\n"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Gyatso + Cost Reducer A + Cost Reducer B + Lightning Greaves + Cast/ETB payoff card"},{"insert":". You may recognize this setup from r/BatMtgCombos or YouTube, especially from the Ikoria flier Eon Frolicker, which can be used to give your opponents infinite turns via this loop. By targeting your payoff with Greaves' free equip, Gyatso allows you to airbend it, where it then can be recast for free due to the cost reducers. All of these cards also work fine with the rest of the deck, and there's a decent amount of redundancy outside of Gyatso and Greaves for the necessary effects. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Aang/Appa A + Aang/Appa B + Cost Reducer A + Cost Reducer B + ETB payoff card."},{"insert":" Funnily enough, any pair of Aangs/Appas in the deck can airbend each other on entry, so with the aforementioned cost reducers you can simply let them blink each other forever. If you're not using Appa, Steadfast Guardian however you will need a more specific payoff like Lifecreed Duo to not just be engaging in slow play. ASG can grab one or more other creatures as it airbends its partner in the combo, allowing you to get their effects as well, meaning you could be running multiple different infinite effects simultaneously. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Excluded Cards"},{"insert":"\nIf you want this deck to be better and/or the combos more consistent, Deadeye Navigator is a very strong choice. I couldn't include this as it immediately loops with Peregrine Drake, breaking the point of the deckbuilding contest. Sage of the Beyond is also strong and synergizes well with most of the deck, but it makes airbend-casting free on its own, meaning the 5-card combos only need 4 cards.\n\nThanks so much for taking a look at this list! I had a lot of fun making it, and I'm looking forward to the next contest.\n"}]}
