I bring you . . . Karnflux!

Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest MtGPQ Deck Strategy & Planeswalker Discussion
1

Spells:
Conflux
Karn’s Temporal Sundering
Thunderherd Migration

Supports:
Growing Rites of itlmoc
Settle the Wreckage

Creatures:
Gishath, Sun’s Avatar
Zacama, Primal Calamity
Admiral Beckett Brass
Muldrotha, the Gravetide
Ghalta, Primal Hunger

Karn’s first ability gives +2 mana bonus to a colored card. All those creatures except for Ghalta are tri-colored. Yes, that’s right, you get +2/+2/+2. Giggity. I don’t use Karn’s ability 2 or 3 in this deck.

Conflux (can’t believe I got that lucky) does the following:
For each color below, perform its effect, where X is your mana bonus of that color.
White: Gain X times 2 life.
Blue: Draw X cards.
Black: You opponent discards X divided by 2.
Red: Deals X damage to your opponent.
Green: Gain X times 2 mana.

If I can manage to pull Jodah, I’ll probably replace Settle the Wreckage at this point (Ghalta if I need to keep Wreckage).

I never cast Beckett, she’s just there for Karn’s #1. I pull her and exile her.

Updated this deck and have a second much faster version (though the confluxes are weaker):

Update:
Spells:
Conflux
Karn’s Temporal Sundering
Thunderherd Migration
Hour of Promise

Supports:
Gilded Lotus

Creatures:
Gishath, Sun’s Avatar
Zacama, Primal Calamity
Admiral Beckett Brass
Muldrotha, the Gravetide
Jodah, Archmage Eternal

Adding Jodah made it easier to get those bonuses up, just like Beckett, I never cast him.

Faster version - Hyperflux:

Spells:
Conflux
Hour of Promise
Hazoret’s Undying Fury
Hour of Devastation
Infinite Obliteration

Supports:
Gilded Lotus
Search for Azcanta
Swarm Intelligence
Powerstone Shard
Manalith

Creatures:
none

Even though this one is faster, it actually more of a combo control deck that finishes with Construct Tokens which bring back Swarm Intelligence for a whole lot of spell casting. Since Conflux also gives mana, you can loop 2-3 times. Pretty fun.

I was wondering on the first version how you got StV to flip with only 2 supports.

4

You’re thinking of Storm the Vault. Settle the Wreckage doesn’t flip, it exiles attacking creatures.

5

Oh!!! You’re right!!

So I know you posted this a long time ago, (okay May is long ago for some people :wink: ) but I just got Conflux and am trying out your “Hyperflux” and am having quite a blast with it. Going to eventually see what GRN cards can help make it even MORE fun, but glad I was able to find this post… :smile:
