Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck I'm going to build when I win the lottery. "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"(Yeah, good luck with that.)"},{"insert":" Maybe. After trying my hand at $1 decks, I decided to see what I could do in the opposite direction. This deck is all about being as expensive as possible while still having a viable game plan, without resorting to variant prints, special finishes, or unique cards.\n\n₽₹€₽A₹€ ¥OU₹$€£₣\n\nThe main win condition is [[Lion's Eye Diamond]] + [[Underworld Breach]] + [[Wheel of Fortune]], with a payoff of [[Tendrils of Agony]] or [[Bitter Ordeal]]. [[Blightsteel Colossus]] and [[Kozilek, Butcher of Truth]] provide graveyard recursion, hopefully enough to get a pile of storm triggers big enough to win. With WoF in the graveyard and LED in play, cast Breach. Sacrifice LED and discard your hand to add RRR, and use that to escape-cast WoF. Everybody discards their hand and draws seven cards. Escape-cast LED and activate it again. This provides milling for everyone and and a high storm count. Blightsteel Colossus and Kozilek prevent accidental self-milling, but Kozilek prevents you from escape-casting. "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"(I'm less certain of this one. I'm pulling it from Legacy, where the threshold for winning is lower. Is this just playing kingmaker, or can it actually win a match?)"},{"insert":"\n\nThere are also a couple of ways to make infinite mana. The core is [[Candelabra of Tawnos]] + [[Karn, Silver Golem]]"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":" "},{"insert":"+ [[Ashaya, Soul of the Wild]]. Karn can turn Candelabra into a creature, and Ashaya makes it a land, so it can untap itself. Add [[Gaea's Cradle]] or [[Cabal Coffers]] + [[Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth]], and you can tap a land for 3+ mana, then spend to untap it (along with tapping and untapping Candelabra). Adding [[Gemstone Array]] allows that mana to come in any combination of colors. The win conditions here are [[Exsanguinate]] and [[Torment of Hailfire]].\n\nA selection of Stax effects help slow the game down to reach the combos. [[The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale]], [[The Abyss]], [[Nether Void]], [[Sheoldred, the Apocalypse]], [[Chains of Mephistopheles]], [[Anvil of Bogardan]], and [[Drop of Honey]] all offer stall and removal, and if I end up losing something, [[Adun Oakenshield]] keeps a [[Raise Dead]] in his back pocket.\n\nI'm actively avoiding Portal Three Kingdoms and Reserved List cards that don't contribute to the strategy or would likely have low demand, even though they're expensive. Compare the $1,200+ [[Juzam Djinn]] to the $0.05 [[Ravenous Giant]].\n"}]}
