Hello again, Premodern humans!\u00a0 As anyone who follows me on Instagram<\/a> knows, Parallax Replenish was my jam back in 2000 Type II, and I had quite a bit of success with it in tournaments.\u00a0 Ever since I heard about Premodern, I’ve been trying to figure out the most broken Replenish<\/a> deck for this format.\u00a0 After much testing and tinkering, I’m ready to show my list!<\/p>\n

As you can see, this deck is a combination of the Parallax Wave<\/a>\/Opalescence<\/a> strategy, and the Pandemonium<\/a>\/Saproling Burst<\/a> 21 damage kill.\u00a0 Actually, there is some overlap between the two.\u00a0 The PandeBurst combo is the deck’s preferred win condition, either Replenish<\/a>ed into play or hard cast, but there is also an infinite damage combo in the deck.\u00a0 If you manage to get Opalescence<\/a>, Parallax Wave<\/a> and Pandemonium<\/a> into play, you can use Parallax Wave<\/a> to blink itself an arbitrary number of times, dealing four damage each time it comes back into play thanks to Pandemonium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The other thing you might notice about this deck is that it’s quite expensive.\u00a0 Sorry about that, but if you want to do broken things, sometimes you have to play lots of expensive, broken cards!\u00a0 Originally I actually had three copies of Mana Leak<\/a> instead of the Mox Diamond<\/a>s, but it became clear that the deck didn’t really need any interaction, and instead wanted to focus on raw speed and power, leaning on the Defense Grid<\/a> sideboard plan against opposing counterspells.<\/p>\n

I mentioned that there were two ways of getting all those big, clunky enchantments into play, one being to put them in the graveyard via Attunement<\/a>, Careful Study<\/a> and Intuition<\/a> and then cast Replenish<\/a>, and the other being to simply hard cast them.\u00a0 These two methods seem to be called for in roughly equal frequency, depending on your draw, and deciding which path to go down is the main decision point in piloting the deck.\u00a0 Depending on the combination of enchantments and mana sources you draw, and the presence or lack thereof of Replenish<\/a>, you will have to decide whether to discard your key enchantments to that turn one Careful Study<\/a> or to hang on to them and go the hard case route.<\/p>\n

However you’re getting your game-winning enchantments into play, the fast mana in this deck is crucial.\u00a0 Having 10 lands that tap for two mana including Ancient Tomb<\/a>, City of Traitors<\/a> and the Mercadian Masques depletion lands, along with the Mox Diamond<\/a>s, makes the otherwise awkwardly high average CMC much faster and smoother to curve out.\u00a0 The absolute nuts is a turn two Replenish<\/a> kill off of turn one Attunement<\/a>, but getting your combo off on turn three or four is more typical.<\/p>\n

Every good combo deck needs tutors, and the tutors in this deck play very flexible roles.\u00a0 Enlightened Tutor<\/a> can go for Attunement<\/a> if you have a good Replenish<\/a> hand, or if you have Pandemonium<\/a> or Saproling Burst<\/a> in hand it can go for the other half of the combo, or even the Mox Diamond<\/a> to help cast them in a pinch.\u00a0 Intuition<\/a> is obviously great in a Replenish<\/a> deck as it can dump multiple enchantments in the graveyard, or tutor for the Replenish<\/a> itself if you don’t have it.<\/p>\n

Overall it’s a surprisingly tricky combo deck to play optimally, but can be quite explosive and powerful, and winning with this type of combo just makes my old school heart sing.\u00a0 As always I would love to hear your thoughts.\u00a0 Leave your comments in the Premodern Facebook group<\/a>, or hit me up on Instagram<\/a> @mtgdojoera!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
