Deck overview

This deck uses Riku of Many Paths to convert modal spells into a compounding engine of card advantage, aerial board presence, and commander growth. Built with a high density of Spree, Command, Charm, and Confluence cards, nearly every spell cast triggers Riku to create 1/1 flying Bird tokens and exile cards for future play. Early turns prioritize green ramp spells to cast Riku on turn 3, followed by flexible modal spells that answer opposing threats while building an evasive army. A robust protection suite of indestructible equipment and reactive instants preserves Riku against targeted removal and board wipes. In the mid-to-late game, copy enchantments such as Double Vision and Arcane Bombardment amplify spell velocity, while mass finishers like Surge to Victory, Mob Rule, and Titania's Command convert the bird flock into a decisive multi-turn combat finish.
