Vannifar Chord

Archetype: Combo Midrange
Power Level: High Potential

This is a creature combo deck that generates infinite copies of Restoration Angels or Corridor Monitor via Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. We make this happen via search effects like Chord of Calling, Eldritch Evolution and Prime Speaker Vannifar.

Prime Speaker Vannifar is especially deadly because it can generate a combo kill from just a single one mana creature and two forests. We do this as follows:

Pod one drop into Corridor Monitor, untap Vannifar
Pod Corridor Monitor into Renegade Rallier, get back Corridor Monitor, untap Vannifar
Pod Rallier into Restoration Angel, blink Corridor Monitor, untap Vannifar
Pod Restoration Angel into Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker makes infinite Corridor Monitor

Biovisionary Company

Archetype: Combo Midrange
Power Level: Meme

This is a midrange value deck that seeks to generate card advantage through value creatures like Coiling Oracle, Eternal Witness, and Militia Bugler. The meme factor comes in from our combo finish which looks to leverage the card Biovisionary alongside cheap clone effects like Phantasmal Image and Mirror Image. In a pinch these clones can also be used to make more value creatures allowing us to flood the board with two power creatures.

Bring to Kiki

Archetype: Combo Midrange
Power Level: Fan Favorite

This is a double toolbox deck that utilizes most of its sideboard for a Glittering Wish package, while containing a variety of bullets in the main deck as well to search up with Bring to Light. All of the non-sense is tied together thanks to a variety of cards that ramp mana out faster and various combo kills that involve Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.

Temur Kiki Evolution

Archetype: Midrange
Power Level: Fan Favorite

This is currently my favorite creature combo deck in Modern. It backs up the infinite combo Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker threatens with an aggressive beat down plan. In addition to finding our combo pieces, Eldritch Evolution also lets us find different utility creatures in different spots. Just keep in mind if you try to evolve into a Bloodbraid Elf you will not get a cascade trigger!
