Riku: A Wave of Creatures

[Crazy Monkey]

Riku of Twin Decks: Creature Avalanche
An Experiment of Divergent Builds

This is half of a pair of decks for Riku of Two Reflections, each exploring a focus on half of his ability. The mirror deck is located here.

This Riku deck is built around creatures/permanents and uses warp world / primal surge / genesis wave to great effect. Copying one of these spells with Riku generates a huge amount of triggers, and in the case of a copied primal surge, mitigates the drawback of playing other non-permanents. If most of the deck is flipping off Warp World, then it can go infinite via Dualcaster Mage and kill with Warstorm Surge, Purphoros, God of the Forge or Thassa's Oracle. However, due to mandatory draw effects the deck will then lose to Angel's Grace and decking itself.
