Ali Plays Genesis Fires

Posted on May 1, 2020

Welcome back! I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well. Today we will be playing a competitive deck I've been working with since Ikoria came out. I've become fond of Genesis Ultimatum and have been trying to find the best fit for it, and this is the best home I have found so far. Let us have a look!

Genesis Fires | IKO Standard | Ali Aintrazi

Instants (4)
4 Growth Spiral

Enchantments (4)
4 Fires of Invention

No Keruga, the Macrosage here as we really want to abuse the power of Growth Spiral and Fae of Wishes. Fae of Wishes is the best thing you can be doing after you have Fires of Invention going. Keep in mind even if you do not have the lands for Genesis Ultimatum but have Fires of Invention out, you can still play Nissa for 0 mana (Fires of Invention) and then just hard cast Genesis Ultimatum with Nissa mana. The deck also has a loop with Tamiyo, Collector of Tales and Planewide Celebration where you can cast Planewide Celebration every turn to gain life, proliferate onto your planeswalkers, make 2/2s, or Regrow things from your graveyard. You can also setup a one turn kill with Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God and Planewide Celebration. This will allow you to ultimate Bolas the turn he comes into play. The deck is sweet and competitive. I would recommend if you like big mana decks!
