No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I just stumbled on this combo, and it's point blank ridiculous. I need a ruling check to make sure it works, cause if it does, I have no idea why no one else has found it yet.

Turn 1- drop Urza's Saga

Turn 2- drop second land, do whatever (I'd advise black and a discard)

Turn 3- tap out Saga before it fizzles. Search for Lotus Bloom, drop third (now second) land. Sac Saga, tap out 2 lands, use Saga mana, drop your titan



So, in a deck, just run 1 Lotus Bloom, and on turns when you have Saga in the opening hand, you've got access to 6 mana on turn 3. That should be enough to pull off any combo in modern, and that's the ballgame folks.

Again, I need a rules check, but hot damn.

Deck discussion for Topic: Black Lotus in Modern!?

The rules don't check out, no cmc != 0 cmc. Even if, It's just too niche I think. It's great for the titan, but titan decks already have enough broken shit to get up to. You'd need a t1 saga, a titan in hand, and a lotus bloom still in the deck. And then if the titan dies what do you have left? But I wonder if there is something else for 6 that is worth cheating out, and whether there is a deck that could support it while not relying on it.

As TheSwarmer mentioned, with Urza's Saga it specifically looks for that mana cost of [0] or [1] in the top corner. It's not a straight CMC 0 search. This makes it better at looking for something like Mishra's Bauble to trigger Delirium, since Urza's Saga covers both Enchantment AND Land, or finding something like Zabaz to do some funky counter stuff.
