The shadowmoor previews thread is getting clogged with talk of this card and the combo suggested realy seems to have alot of potential. It does not rely on artifact acceleration or the graveyard which makes it one of the most resilient combos in magic. Anyways here is what i have been toying around with after i saw the combo.
4 Polluted delta
3 Flooded strand
2 Wooded Foothills
4 Volcanic island
4 island
2 mountain
4 Chrome mox
3 SSG
4 Swan Song
4 Chain of plasma
4 Force of will
4 Daze
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Lightning bolt
2 Lighting storm
2 Counterspell
1 Chain Lightning
1 Portent
4 Pyroclasm
3 Pyrokinesis
3 Shattering spree
3 REB
2 BEB
First off, is the combo:
Swans' Song 2{wu}{wu}
Creature - Bird Spirit Rare
Flying
If damage would be dealt to Swans' Song, prevent that damage. The controller of the damage's source then draws cards equal to the damage prevented in this way.
4/3
Obviously, this with chain of plasma draws ytour deck, where you can therefore kill the opponent. This kill doesnt rely on the grave and artifact acceleration, it runs 8 counterspells, and has answers to almost anything that can be thrown at it. This deck does not need a aggro route like decks like Cephalid breakfast because its kill is infinitely harder to disrupt. With SSG and Chrome mox the kill can be accelerated extremely fast. Lightning bolts and the singleton chain lightnings are red ancestral recalls with the swan out, so if you dont have the chain of plasma it will be easy to find it. Also the lightnings can be used to kill of pesky creatures like magus, hippie, meddling mage, etc... The sideboard has answers to all the decks that would seem to hurt it the most. You side in pyroclasms against goblins, BEB's and shattering sprees for Dragon stompy, REB's for landstill and thresh, and pyrokinesis for... im not sure... whatever you need it for. Pyrokinesis could be sided in to more consistently, as it draws you 4 cards for free.
