Getting ready for @MrChecklistcard to arrive to my house tomorrow and built 8 decks which we’ll use to shoot 4 videos for Mengu’s Workshop. Two Magic & Two Flesh and Blood! Exciting week ahead! 🤩

End of thread. Go enjoy this deck, I'm sure you can get some cool game wins!. In my one early access game with this, I went off turn 4 against @Ashlizzlle_ but then misclicked on a Rydia trigger and decked instead of winning 😂.

This means you could sideboard powerful 5s and 6s. Summon: Titan is kinda perfect as it's on-plan and enables a new dimension to Rydia. I'd imagine the board looks like this:. 4 Summon: Titan.4 Torch the Tower.2 Fire Magic.2 Negate.3 Bonnie Pall. and -1 Forest +1 Island maindeck

Sideboarding. I purposely didn't build a sideboard for this yet, as I imagine you'd have to change your gameplan postboard becaus eyour deck is otherwise too fragile. So I think it works best in Bo1, but if you must, you could try to lean on the deck having 12 ramp spells.

When you sacrifice Analyst, go full control. Then tap Archway for mana in response to its own trigger (as Spelunking will make it enter untapped), then return itself with it's own ability and then discard it to Rydia to start going through your deck.

Arid Archway. The problem with Rydia is that she requires you to have a card in hand in order to loot through your deck. This can be a problem when you haven'r found Nature's Rhythm. If you have found Archway, you can get around this problem!

A druid would jump you from 5 to 6 mana and let you go off a turn ahead of schedule!.It's even an Elf, so in some desperate moments you can try hitting it with Nissa 🤠.

Deck Choices:. Springbloom Druid is a perfect enabler here. It ramps, puts lands in graveyard, and with Spelunking + Nissa it's even a ritual!. Pretty relevant, as you can go turn 3 Spelunking -> Evolving Wilds. Turn 4 Nissa + Fabled Passage and have 5 mana, one short of Lumra.

Important bit for the Analyst deck I just posted!.

This way we get to not waste any space on wincons. Of course it doesn't work on Arena, so I made a different wincon version. Use Eden to get back Songcrafter Mage, give harmonize to Worldsoul's Rage and tap your huge Lumra to deal 20+ damage quickly!.

Eventually you can then use Echoing Deeps to copy Eden, and regrow all permanents in your graveyard. This is where the neat wincondition comes into play!. We can use Escape Tunnel to make all creatures unblockable, Minstrel to make them infinitely big and Bitter Reunion to haste.

WINCON. Once we've drawn our deck, we can unlock the infinite loop with Eden, Seat of the Sanctum. With 11 of our 10 fetchlands + 2 Echoing Deeps, we can generate enough to get back an Analyst and be up one mana. We gain the mana with Nissa, and sac the lands to ge them back.

Doing the first Analyst without Rydia in play is actually quite common, and one of the biggest tips I'd give for playing this deck is to not prioritize getting Rydia in play over literally anything else you could do with your mana. She'll come later, and she'll do her thing.

You also don't always need all three pieces in play when you start going off. In the screenshot above, I didn't have Spelunking or Minstrel in play for quite a while, but I could still see so many cards with Nissa and Rydia that I was able to find it mid-combo.

This might sound like a lot to put together, and it is, but it helps a lot that all the pieces help you draw towards more, and that with the new Wandering Minstrel your Nature's Rhythm can find all three pieces, as well your Lumra!. Cache Grab also helps dig for Spelunking

When you do this, Rydia lets you churn through your deck to find your next Aftermath effect, while Nissa and Spelunking give you enough mana. Because of Nature's Rhythm with harmonize, you can keep looting for all the triggers. After 2-3 iterations, you'll have drawn your deck!.

Because we don't have the lifegain lands from New Capenna, it's no longer as viable to play this deck as a value ramp deck - you have to go full combo. Here, the combo is resolving an Analyst or a Lumra with Nissa, Spelunking and Rydia in play. 🧵.

Aftermath Analyst is back!. It's Johnny Thursday, and I bring you a deck that has gone through more refinement than my last ideas - this one can actually win games!. Rydia makes the deck go completely bananas. Eden enables an infinite loop. Turn 4 kill. You gotta check this out!!
