Deck overview

This Simic combo deck utilizes Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy to generate explosive mana acceleration from nonland permanents and close games with compact infinite mana combos. Its primary win condition combines Kinnan with Basalt Monolith to create infinite colorless mana as early as turn 3. This mana feeds into outlets like Cogwork Assembler to produce infinite hasty attacking tokens, Prophet of Distortion to draw the deck, or Blue Sun's Zenith to force opponents to draw out. The list features several redundant combos that do not require Kinnan, including Grand Architect with Pili-Pala and Devoted Druid with Machine God's Effigy. A suite of efficient 1- and 2-mana counterspells and bounce spells protects the combo during execution while disrupting opposing game plans.
