They massacred my boy! This deck is being workshopped as they have killed the combo via update to the Sacrifice Keyword rules text. I've got some lines cooking but idt anything will beat the OG. RIP

Magician – My Lovely Lady Loops

A hyperspeed, hidden-combo deck tech

Behold: a dirty little deck concept I’ve been cooking up that may or may not be completely unhinged.

My Lovely Lady Loops is a Magician deck built around a fully concealed, mana-conscious infinite loop that can win the game in a single turn with almost no visible setup. The entire goal of the deck is simple: Find Lady Iseult as fast as possible.

• No midrange plans.
• No board development.
• Just dig, dig, dig and find that little Lady

The "Engine"

This deck revolves around a 4-card interaction that results in infinite Genesis triggers, executed entirely from hand without any major telegraphing.

Required Pieces in hand:

1. Lady Iseult
2. Moon Clan Werewolf
3. One-shot Wizard
4. Hamlet

The only thing that really has to be done through the game is ensuring Line-of-sight to the opposing Avatar

(Note: I added Horns to the deck as well as an alternate wincon for infinite attack dmg Loops if necessary. It's an extra piece to fish for, but at least it makes a damage reduction situation winnable)

How the Loop Works:

1. Play Hamlet to Best Space for LOS
2. Cast Lady Iseult (2 mana)
3. Cast One-shot Wizard to Hamlet (Hamlet reduces the cost of Ordinary minions making Wizard cost 0 mana) --> Wizard’s Genesis deals 1 damage via projectile.
4. Activate Moon Clan Werewolf from hand, attempting to pay its alternate cost: Sacrifice an allied Mortal (One-shot Wizard) --> Lady says "dont do that" and replaces the death with "return to hand" --> Wizard does not die and returns to hand instead
5. Because the Wizard never actually died --> The sacrifice was never paid --> Moon Clan Werewolf is not summoned --> The game state resets to exactly where it was before Wizard was cast.
6. Repeat indefinitely

Result:

Infinite Genesis triggers, infinite damage, mow down anything in LOS.

Why This Combo Is Especially Gross

1. Entire combo is executed from hand
2. Requires only one turn to DD from 100%
3. Requires basically no prior board setup (at least nothing that cost in game resources)
4. Costs effectively 2 mana total
5. Can remain completely hidden until execution
6. Opponent often gets no warning

You don’t need to telegraph anything.

You simply present lethal when the pieces line up.

Why Magician?

Magician enables this deck to function like a combo storm deck rather than a traditional Sorcery build due to the Spellbook-only structure. Magicians replacement deck rules allow for a highly tunable site ratio build with basically no fill or fluff, just gas. Additionally, the Collection functions as an extension of the deck since the overall goal is thinning the deck and, with so Collection interaction pieces that cheaply interact with Ordinaries, it means you can play copies of core Ordinaries in your collection and have basically 7+ copies of them at your disposal.

Deck Philosophy: Ignore the Board

This is intentionally not a creature deck and not a control deck.

Minions exist purely as mechanical components:

• Genesis triggers
• Spellcaster enablers
• Sacrifice targets
• Tutors with legs

Combat is irrelevant. Board presence is incidental.

Most games aim to end by turn 6, ideally before meaningful board states develop.

Key Support Pieces include:

Browse / Dream-Quest / Pnakotic Manuscript

Raw velocity. Life total is a resource; speed is the priority.

Wiccan Tools

Draw plus on-demand Spellcaster, enabling Dream-Quest and threshold bypass.

Toolbox + Collection

Turns Ordinary cards into functional duplicates, massively increasing combo density.

Morgana le Fay / Highland Princess

Additional digging without exposing the combo.

Sphere of Animosity & Mobility Tools

Help lock positioning and guarantee line-of-sight when it’s time to go off.

Site Philosophy

This deck prioritizes threshold over mana.

• Most spells are cheap so Threshold is the real bottleneck.
• Many sites provide immediate multi-element access
• Sites also provide utility:
• Hamlet enables the loop
• Elder Ruins offers a secondary sacrifice line
• Observatory smooths the top of the deck
• The site count is deliberate and central to consistency.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Weaknesses (Obviously)

Ironclad (jadded an alternate wincon in Horns), and anyone that plans to move around a lot and early. mobility is ironically the greatest weakness (in a game based on mobility) hence why we are all on on hunting down our pieces. we're designed to do one thing very well and basically nothing else

That said, the deck’s speed and concealment are intended to end games before those weaknesses matter.

In Conclusion

Is this deck good?

No idea.

Is it funny?

Absolutely.

Is it hiding a fully concealed infinite combo that wins on the spot?

Unfortunately… yes.

Edit 1: I am still workshopping the Collection to find pieces that might deal with an Ironclad situation without changing the overall identity of this deck which is balls to the wall no development, no defense, just gas and an end goal. Until then, its a scoop lol

Edit 2: I've added Horn to compensate for Ironclad issues. Now, you can play Horn before infinite casts of Wizard. Keep casting Wizard and attacking the closest site until you win.

Edit 3: Heavily considering Black Mass right now since its a "cycle 7 cards to the bottom" effect for cheap. It can find Werewolfs but thats it. Going to keep mulling it over, but considering replacing a land or a Mix maybe. Very unsure as to what goes, but this card is tempting me.
