I was just playing a magic came online and I got my riku out on turn 4.
For a turn or two afterwards I payed life to ramp via
skyshroud ranger by paying four life for the effect on my turn 2
sylvan libraryThe omnath deck on his turn came to attack me for 10 with a
predator ooze so my first riku trick was to double
beast within one on his attacking general and the other on my chump utility creature.
The next turn I pay 4 life for a
temple of the false god and see a rampaging baloths... Hmmm I have exactly enough to hit 6 mana for the X on my
Genesis wave. I cast it and resolve an uncopied
Genesis wave wave for 6, it hits the following cards:
Rampaging baloths,
Eternal witness Sakura-tribe elder, and
consecrated sphinx only losing a
Frantic search and a
recurring insight. No big, eternal witness recurs genesis wave ofcourse. End of last opponent's turn sacrifice sakura. (drew four lands including an
evolving wilds from sphinx).
Now I cast genesis wave for 5, with mana to copy via riku.
Results:
First wave: Pretty lackluster but
Parallel lives lost my mana reflection by 1, but got a
spike weaver and an island to boot.
Next wave didn't disappoint:
Mountain, forest, reliquary tower
Wickerbough elder (which was copied by riku) and
thran dynamo Plenty of mana to copy and still have some reserved for fog effect by
Spike weaver.
Played
Warstorm surge next turn, and everyone scooped.
Had a
body double in hand and an opponent had a
slyvan primordial that I was itching to copy lol Keep in mind this is a 4 player game.
God I love you riku.
I payed 12 life via sylvan library in total, and took 7 from omnath on an earlier turn i couldn't block, but its that library won me the game with early ramp.. Thanks
Skyshroud ranger you da the man.
