What the heck is that Kinnan? by Geurimja

Deck overview

This Simic combo deck leverages Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy to generate explosive mana acceleration and execute compact infinite combos. Built under a strict all-permanents theme featuring Primal Surge as its only non-permanent spell, the list converts overwhelming mana into immediate game wins. The primary game plan pairs Kinnan with Basalt Monolith to generate infinite colorless mana on Turn 3. That mana immediately feeds outlets like Walking Ballista, Thrasios, Triton Hero, or Kinnan's creature-cheating ability to eliminate all opponents on the same turn. The deck replaces traditional instant-speed countermagic with permanent-based interaction, such as channel abilities on Boseiju, Who Endures and Otawara, Soaring City, creature theft via Gilded Drake and Volatile Stormdrake, and flash threats like Hullbreaker Horror. While vulnerable to well-timed removal on the stack, the deck possesses high velocity, dense redundancy, and powerful card engines.
