So, just how do we go about storming off in Standard with Aetherflux Reservoir? On the other hand, with Aetherflux Reservoir, the ideal play is to cast it on Turn 4 and then hopefully combo off for the win on Turn 5 or 6. Thankfully, Collected Company and Kolaghan's Command are rotating when Aetherflux Reservoir enters the format, which means that unless Standard is so overwhelmed with artifacts that players turn to main deck artifact destruction to cope, getting Aetherflux Reservoir to stick for a turn or two isn't all that unlikely. Because you need four mana left after casting nine spells to kill with Tendrils of Agony, pretty much the only way to make it work is using a bunch of rituals to generate mana, and we don't really have access to rituals in Standard. While the cards have very similar effects, there is one important difference between Tendrils of Agony and Aetherflux Reservoir: Tendrils of Agony has to be the last spell you cast in a turn, while Aetherflux Reservoir is best as the first (or better yet, already sitting on the battlefield from a previous turn when you decide to combo off).
That math on the life gain ability is pretty straightforward-if you can cast eight spells in the same turn, you'll gain 36 life from Aetherflux Reservoir alone, which means as long as you start the process with at least 15 life, you'll be able to 50 your opponent in one shot with Aetherflux Reservoir's second ability! $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00Īetherflux Reservoir might look like an Against the Odds card, and in some ways it probably is an Against the Odds card, but it's also the closest thing we've seen to Tendrils of Agony since at least Ignite Memories and Grapeshot, and possibly since literal Tendrils of Agony way back in Scourge. Is it really possible that we can build a Storm combo deck in Standard? I think so! Second, we'll build around a combo that's been the talk of social media the past couple days, with a deck that wins by creating an infinite number of Saheeli Rais! Let's start by breaking down Standard Aether Storm! Standard Aether Storm The first is a Standard deck that harkens the return of the most broken mechanic in Magic's history: storm! While the keyword itself isn't returning any time soon, Aetherflux Reservoir is really Tendrils of Agony hiding in artifact form. As such, today we are going to be looking at two of my favorite off-the-wall ideas for Kaladesh. Since we don't yet know what the upcoming metagame will look like, no idea is a bad idea, no matter how off the wall during spoiler season, there's a chance-no matter how small-that any crazy idea could end up working. I've mentioned many times before that spoiler season is my favorite time of the year because everything is possible.
