[Deck] Ignant X-Spell

[Cavius The Great]

Here's a little combo that I came up with that abuses Grinning Ignus, Ruby Medallion, Nightscape Familiar, and red X-spells. Here's the list followed by an explanation and quick walkthrough.

does it matter? I'm just trying to get the combo idea out there.

Explanation:
The deck works by getting two red "mana reducers" such as Nightscape Familiar and Ruby Medallion. Any combination of the two cards will work. Once you achieve this, you then play a Grinning Ignus, bounce it and replay it to generate infinite red mana, then you cast either a Kaervek's Torch or Demonfire strait to your opponent's dome ftw. With all of the fast mana, this deck easily goes off by the fourth turn. It also has customary stuff to deal with control spells such as Duress and Unmask. It's a pretty cool deck since the X-Spells can be cast on creatures such as Meddling Mage. I'm also pretty sure that this deck is decent enough to pull off some wins to say the least and if worked on, it might be a viable idea in the future.

Well, there you have it. Cavius The Great's latest innovation. Let me know what you guys think of the deck, and if it's decent or nothing near viable. Thanks ahead of time. Peace.

How do you create infinite red mana?

You have 2 Medallions in play
You have 2 Red mana in your manapool(RR)
You play Ignus(R)
You use it's abiliy(2R)
You play Ignus(2)

And then? You have converted your red mana in to colorless mana and gained a 2/2 beater. Am I missing something?

I don't think this actually works. The problem is you're not generating red mana, you're generating colorless mana, which doesn't allow you to both bounce and replay the Ignus.

Under 2x Medallions, Ignus costs R
Bouncing Ignus costs R, and gives you 2R

You turned two mana into three, sure, but you also turned RR into 2R, and thus do not have the right mana to continue the chain.

Damn, I need to think more about stuff instead of posting combos that don't even work. (Sigh) Yet another blow to my reputation, atleast I tried.

Is there anyway to make this combo work? Maybe with Tangleroot or Magma Mine? If not the mods can feel free to lock this wretched thread... :frown:
