Deck Primer / Description

Bracket 4 by default, due to chaining extra turns, but power level is decidedly in the Bracket 3 range.

This is an infinite turns combo deck utilizing Vadrok's mutate ability to recast the red extra turn spells wtih MV 3 or less. These cards also cause you to lose the game after that extra turn, so there are a plethora of effects to end the turn early or otherwise prevent you from losing to your own trigger. You also need to be able to return Vadrok to your hand when needed, so we use Dash creatures to easily allow for this.

Note that Vadrok can recast ANY non-creature card so long as it's Mana Value is 3 or less, including artifacts and planeswalkers, which is convenient as it allows you to recover your destroyed combo pieces. Also, unlike most effects that allow you to recast cards from the graveyard, Vadrok's Mutate ability does NOT exile instants or sorceries, instead returning them to the graveyard to recast on future turns.

The deck's gameplan is to use Vadrok as a value card in the early game to reuse removal spells and setup your combo in hand with tutors and card draw. Then when you are

The simplest example of the combo is:

Vadrok, Apex of Thunder + Glitterfang + Chance for Glory + Gideon of the Trials

Mutating Vadrok allows you to repeatedly cast Chance for Glory and take infinite turns, so long as we avoid losing the game to Chance for Glory's trigger. Gideon of the Trial's Emblem prevents you from losing the game while you control Gideon, so we are free to take all the turns we want. Glitterfang returns to hand at end of turn, which returns the Mutated Vadrok as well, allowing for the loop.

• You can sub Glitterfang for Darting Merfolk, Viashino Sandscout, or any of the creatures with Dash.
• You can sub Chance for Glory for Final Fortune
• You can sub Gideon of the Trials for Sundial of the Infinite by ending the turn in your end step with the lose the game trigger on the stack.
• If Lore Drakkis or Sea-Dasher Octopus are involved, you can cast multiple cards out of your graveyard per loop, because Vadrok triggers whenever it mutates for any reason. This lets spells like Run Away Together or Angel's Grace substitute as combo pieces.

The eventual win is through combat, by making an arbitrarily large board with any of our token producers, or by simply attacking every turn with Vadrok. If there are problematic permanents in play that prevent you from winning this way, Divide by Zero, Hullbreaker Horror, or Deekah, Fractal Theorist making our tokens unblockable usually gets around that. If someone has cast Teferi's Protection or The One Ring, recasting Windfall as part of the loop gets around that, as Gideon or Grace stops you from losing to decking, but the protection from everything spells do not.
