One thing you may have overseen (haven't read the enitre post). Any 'Lord' or modifier that would grant creature types +x/+x would screw you royally over.

Imagine what a lord of atlantis would do, the bonus form him is in another layer than mirror entity's. So it would result in the entity and other creatures being 1/1 when activating it for 0.

Just a thought..

The deck plays enough bounce + Wrath of God that getting rid of a lord shouldn't be too big of a problem. Plus, the deck doesn't need the combo to win.

slimedude99 (regarding 'this deck won't get popular')]I think you're dead wrong. This deck actually reminds me a tiny, tiny bit of Aluren in the eternal formats. It can gain infinite life, it can draw its deck, and it's really, really difficult to mess with.

I know, Reveillark WILL make it to top 8 decks. I was just saying that to keep the heat down in my local tourneys and online. It's fast and very potential. It will be a top contender. We'll just have to fight our way through the hate.

lylac]1) Does anyone have an optimal decklist for the combo?
2) Can anyone explain to me the mirror entity combo?

00hybrid00]heres the thing.. i dont see how mirror entity lives through this...
when mirror entity puts all creatures at 0/0 it should die with body double...

How the combo works

Put entity's ability on the stack infinite times (since there's no infinite in magic besides mox lotus , we'll just use one billion). Let one resolve, reveillark or body double copying it and the entity (and any other creatures you might have) will die. Bring back body double copying reveillark and a creature with a CIP ability. Let the CIP ability trigger, let it resolve, then let the next entity's ability resolve. Both die, both come back, both die, both come back, and the combo of course is the abuse of those CIP abilities. Either draw your deck and find merrow witsniper to mill your opponent, or bounce everything they've got and swing with an army of 2/2's (let all the entity's abilities resolve, bringing back just body double with them until there is one left, get mirror entity back, blink body double if you want, and either way they can never win with 1-2 lands while you beat face with two 10/10's, one of which flies.

The decklist posted is very good as it is, there might be some minor changes. The reason everything's 3-of is because I want full blinks, and support cards like careful consideration and wrath of god . With its immense carddrawing, it should be easy to get all the pieces.

Something from own experience: This deck doesn't die to extirpate or withered wretch . Wretches are easilily disposed of (they're worse than extirpate though), but them casting Extirpate often gives me enough card- and tempo advantage to win it anyways. For instance, while I was comboing out, my opponent at one point responded with double extirpate on my body double and reveillark . I shrugged, and on the back of a mulldrifter , riftwing cloudskate , and venser, shaper savant , I beat for 4-6 every turn while Blinking my venser to bounce his spells. I once played a mono black aggro deck with extirpate , withered wretch and sudden spoiling (!!!) maindeck. It was surprising, but through disrupting my combo and killing reveillark without triggering its leaves play trigger, I still won it thanks to cloudskate, mulldrifter, and blink.
