Spells:
Conflux
Karn's Temporal Sundering
Thunderherd Migration

Supports:
Growing Rites of itlmoc
Settle the Wreckage

Creatures:
Gishath, Sun's Avatar
Zacama, Primal Calamity
Admiral Beckett Brass
Muldrotha, the Gravetide
Ghalta, Primal Hunger


Karn's first ability gives +2 mana bonus to a colored card. All those creatures except for Ghalta are tri-colored. Yes, that's right, you get +2/+2/+2. Giggity. I don't use Karn's ability 2 or 3 in this deck.

Conflux (can't believe I got that lucky) does the following:
For each color below, perform its effect, where X is your mana bonus of that color.
White: Gain X times 2 life.
Blue: Draw X cards.
Black: You opponent discards X divided by 2.
Red: Deals X damage to your opponent.
Green: Gain X times 2 mana.

If I can manage to pull Jodah, I'll probably replace Settle the Wreckage at this point (Ghalta if I need to keep Wreckage).

I never cast Beckett, she's just there for Karn's #1. I pull her and exile her.

    Updated this deck and have a second much faster version (though the confluxes are weaker):

    Update:
    Spells:
    Conflux
    Karn's Temporal Sundering
    Thunderherd Migration
    Hour of Promise

    Supports:
    Gilded Lotus

    Creatures:
    Gishath, Sun's Avatar
    Zacama, Primal Calamity
    Admiral Beckett Brass
    Muldrotha, the Gravetide
    Jodah, Archmage Eternal

    Adding Jodah made it easier to get those bonuses up, just like Beckett, I never cast him.


    Faster version - Hyperflux:

    Spells:
    Conflux
    Hour of Promise
    Hazoret's Undying Fury
    Hour of Devastation
    Infinite Obliteration

    Supports:
    Gilded Lotus
    Search for Azcanta
    Swarm Intelligence
    Powerstone Shard
    Manalith

    Creatures:
    none

    Even though this one is faster, it actually more of a combo control deck that finishes with Construct Tokens which bring back Swarm Intelligence for a whole lot of spell casting. Since Conflux also gives mana, you can loop 2-3 times. Pretty fun.

    I was wondering on the first version how you got StV to flip with only 2 supports.

    You're thinking of Storm the Vault. Settle the Wreckage doesn't flip, it exiles attacking creatures.

    So I know you posted this a long time ago, (okay May is long ago for some people ;) ) but I just got Conflux and am trying out your "Hyperflux" and am having quite a blast with it. Going to eventually see what GRN cards can help make it even MORE fun, but glad I was able to find this post... :smile:
