Dank-Jank Spotlight: What’s Yours Is Now Mine

Do you ever just wish you could have all of your opponents fun and cool toys and not have to give them back at the end of turn? Well boi... do I have a combo for you! And it’s a super easy and simple combo to run as well being very splashable. Let’s snap to it Will Henry!

The Combo

For this recipe you’re gonna need 3 ingredients: Archaeomancer, Ghostly Flicker, and an ability or spell that steals permanents your opponents control. For this example we’ll use Dominus of Fealty. 

Using Dominus’ theft ability during our upkeep, let’s say we steal a land from our opponent. With an Archaeomancer on the field, we cast Ghostly Flicker targeting the stolen land and the Mancer. When the spell resolves, we flicker the land and Mancer, returning them both to the battlefield under your control and you get to return the Flicker back to your hand with Mancer’s etb. And what’s key is the wording of Ghostly Flicker. “Exile two target artifacts, creatures, and/or lands you control, then return those cards to the battlefield under your control.” UNDER YOUR CONTROL. Even tho your opponent owns the land you stole, it was under your control when you cast the Flicker, and the Flicker returns it to play under your control. No more “until end of turn” effect on it, it is your permanent now. With Archaeonmancer, we get to consistently bring back the Flicker to our hand after we cast it. Since the combo is mono blue (Archaeomancer 2UU and Ghostly Flicker 2U) you can easily splash this into any deck with blue that likes taking things. Commanders that enable this are Rubinia Soulsinger, Merieke Ri Berit, Yasova Dragonclaw, Zedruu the Greathearted and Empress Galina (although it should be noted that Ghostly Flickering a Commander can just result in the owner of the Commander sending it back to the Command zone when it hits exile before it gets returned to the field.) 

I particularly love the Zedruu interaction of taking control of your opponents permanents and then gifting them to other players. Can make games very chaotic and fun if your playgroup is very casual about it. 

This can also be splashed into other colors with cards like Puppeteer Clique. 

Cast Puppeteer Clique, bring back a creature from your opponents graveyard and then Ghostly Flicker the returned creature and Mancer. That creature is now permanently yours. You can later Flicker the Mancer and Clique to reset the Clique if it dies. Red is infamous for it’s Threaten type effects and cards. Zealous Conscripts comes to mind with Molten Primordial.

 Possibilities are endless. Enjoy.

I have an Archaeomancer on the field and a Cloudshift in my hand. During the declare blockers step, can I block one creature and save Archaeomancer with Cloudshift, or block as many creatures as times I can cast Cloudshift? Sorry, I know blinking questions can be difficult to ask/explain/answer.

Not quite.

You declare blockers all at once and players don’t receive priority during this process, so you can only block one creature with your Archaeomancer. After blockers are declared, players will get priority and you can blink your Archaeomancer with Cloudshift to save it at that time.

Yet another Omniscience combo. Any number of Archaeomancer.
