Deck overview

This Temur combo deck uses Loot, the Pathfinder as both an early resource engine and the primary game-ending outlet. In the opening turns, cheap mana dorks and land-ramp spells accelerate Loot onto the battlefield. Loot immediately capitalizes on its built-in haste and vigilance to ramp mana or draw cards via its exhaust abilities. The deck then transitions into a decisive combo finish on turn 5, using Deadeye Navigator, Lilysplash Mentor, or spell-based blink loops with Ghostly Flicker and Archaeomancer. Flickering Loot repeatedly resets its exhaust restrictions, generating infinite colored mana and dealing infinite direct damage to all opponents in a single turn. High-density creature tutoring, strong graveyard recursion, and split-second protection from cards like Samut, Tyrant of Naktamun ensure the deck executes its win condition reliably through opposing interaction.
