    Found one at my local shop. Looked it up and found this pic on Reddit post 27 days ago. That post says it's from Walmart chaos blister of 6 boosters.

    I've enjoyed playing this deck for the past couple weeks. It's new so no one knows what you're doing.
    My ramp spells are Attune and creatures. Threw in some removal spells.
    I haven't yet hit Samut + Myriarch combo kill. My best one was Samut + Hydra + Hyrda + Servant.

    Displacer also has an odd combo with Hidden Herbalists. For 2C you get GG. With Panharmonicon you get GGGG. Sadly, this doesn't feed into 2C, but you could imagine using this mana to do something else. For something easier, try scions. Those sac themselves, and do everything you might want in a mana-acceleration revolt deck.


    Stand alone, Panharmonicon is actually great with any of the Revolt creatures. Renegade Rallier gets back two cards. Greenwheel Liberator is a 6/5 two drop.


    Just so you know, panharmonicon refers to triggered abilities (starts with when or whenever). Greenwheel Liberator has neither of these and thus will not trigger twice. It was my first build attempt when the set came out and I was sad to learn this.

    Built an Abzan Marvel combo deck for FNM. It can also just do midrange things.

    Panharmonicon
    Aetherworks Marvel
    Woodweaver's Puzzleknot
    2x Felidar Guardian
    Gonti, Lord of Luxury

    With two guardians + pan + puzzle:
    one guardian targets puzzle and other guardian
    2 puzzle triggers then other guardian triggers and repeat
    that's infinite life + energy

    Then switch to marvel instead of puzzle to cast your deck to hit gonti
    Last switch to gonti instead of marvel and exile their deck.

    You can also make things infinite large with another creature + gearhulk and infinite spiders [with delirium].
    Gonti gives you other possible options/combos to play depending what you hit.
    Probably not top tier but pretty fun overall.

    I don't know if this is still being updated, but I just picked up promo Thalia's Lancers at Wal-Mart. The second card behind it was backwards, such that the back of the cards were touching each other. Also, the other one I saw had a blue pack as opposed to the red (Born of the Gods), which makes me think Return to Ravnica.

    I often look on these forums for deck ideas, and I decided to build yours for FNM. However, I made a some changes though.

    -4 deathmist raptor
    -4 den protector
    -2 hanweir
    -2 tracker

    +3 thopter engineer
    +3 pia and kiran

    +2 declaration in stone
    +2 world breaker

    I wasn't sure on SB options so I went with:
    2 radiant flames
    1 descend upon the sinful
    2 clip wings
    2 immolating glare
    2 chandra flamecaller
    3 den protector
    3 deathmist raptor

    I've played with the P&K / hangar package before, but it adds more removal to the deck (also noted with MD declarations).
    I wanted more token options, and more things to ramp into.
    I was also heavily considering descent of the dragons along with secure the wastes but I ran out of time deck building.
    Other things I was thinking about: oath of nissa, oath of gideon, displacer combo (eldrazi displacer + brood monitor + impact tremors), from beyond, sigarda, burn from within, etc.

    R1 win over U/W spirits
    R2 win over mono R aggro (was close games)
    R3 loss bant humans aggro (reflector mage annoying >.<)
    R4 win naya dragons (won flipping abbey and answers to his dragons)
    R5 ID GW human/werewolf (played for fun, still got him)
    Top 8 split

    Seems like there's lots of ways to go with this, but I will continue to play this while switching things out here and there.

    What's in your SB? Sometimes it can be hard. I've had to fight thru Soulfire Grand Master / Seeker of the Way, thus they gain a lot of life. They also have access to hand disruption, still hurts even though with your deck you can get back later. Windstorm is another card for flyers, works well against bees too. If you need a board reset try End Hostilities. Glare of Heresy is good if they play those early white drops and if they also got Elspeth.

    Although I plan on trying this too, it's a different deck and does different things. Thanks anyways.

    I've seen you post on another naya topic, but do u have an updated list you've been playing? I just got some whisperwoods so i would like to try this out. Thanks.

    It's not bad, just what happens on multiple occassions. If both are out, they will sac Courser to keep Mastery. Though I'm usually fighting to get rid of something, not make bigger.

    Yay replies.

    A_E_I_Own_U - I have been playing this for about 4 weeks now, did well at FNM and bad at GPT. Dromoka's Command won't always hit if they have another enchantment (aka Courser of Kruphix). I added another Glare of Heresy in SB taking out Mastery. The Den Protector/Deathmist Raptor feels like another deck, something like you've built.

    DarklingScribe - I previously had a singleton Shaman of the Great Hunt, worked great when I saw it. It's even better with Iroas out. Arcbond is a good suggestion, I got overwhelmed by my opponent's bees during GPT and couldn't keep up.

    HumbleKami - At the time, I only had 2 Thunderbreak Regent. I used my FNM winnings to get another one and Dromoka's Command. I hope to get a fourth soon.

    brandonspradlin80 - I am going to get another Dragonlord Atarka so I can try out Naya Dragons.


    I can't tell you how many times when I play Iroas people pick it up to read it, and get blown out because either A)They don't have enough to double block or B)Block appropriately expecting one of my guys to die.

    I've been playing and tweaking this build for about 3 weeks. I usually play Wed. leagues (15-30 people) and FNMs (20-40 people). I got the idea from the old RG Bees but I wanted to play Command over Tactics. Any feedback is acceptable.



    I haven't played against much control. My meta is GW, Abzan, mono Red, RG, Mardu, etc. The plan is usually to Roast my Nest and win with Bees/Dragons. I used to have Polukranos, World Eater and Bow of Nylea but switched out for the Lions. Also had Dragonlord Atarka but switched to Queen. Not sure which would be better. At this moment, I only have 3 Rabblemaster, 2 Regent, and 3 Command.

    Some of the sweet synergies:
    Hornet Nest + Roast
    Hornet Nest + Dromoka's Command (fight)
    Hornet Nest + Anger of the Gods (small wipe and bees)
    Goblin Rabblemaster + Iroas
    attacking creature + Iroas + Dromoka's Command (fight)
    8 mana dorks possible T3 Stormbreath Dragon (done multiple times already)

    Questions:
    -24 or 25 lands? If I cut a land, I could add another Regent or Command.
    -Queen or Atarka? I could play either one, or cut for one of the above mentioned cards.
    -SB cards. I would like a better answer for Mastery of the Unseen. Any other SB cards for Naya I should think about?

    Any other suggestions? Much appreciated, thanks for your time....

    I built this deck (dropping 3rd whip for ugin main) and top 4 split FNM. My only match loss was to G/r dev that got out Ugin both games. I'm a midrange player and very much like this deck, thanks!
