It's pretty common for our deck to deal zero damage to our opponent before we combo and then win the game by surprise with the full 20 damage on our combo turn! The Backup Plan This gives us exactly 20 damage to our opponent's face, with the original Terror of the Peaks dealing 10 when the two new token copies come into play and each of the tokens triggering each other for five more damage. If we can first Mystic Reflection a Terror of the Peaks, both of the tokens will actually be copies of Terror of the Peaks. For this, we have two options: Forbidden Friendship, which always costs two mana, and Dwarven Reinforcements, which costs two mana if we can foretell it earlier in the game. The final piece of our combo puzzle is a card that puts two tokens into play at once. Ideally, we'll foretell Mystic Reflection early in the game so that when we're ready to combo, we can cast it for just one mana rather than two, although we can combo by casting Mystic Reflection naturally from our hand if we have enough mana. While we don't have a guaranteed way to tutor up Mystic Reflection like we do with Terror of the Peaks and Transmogrify, we do have the full four copies of Silundi Vision to help find the instant as consistently as possible. Step 2: Mystic ReflectionĬombo piece number two is Mystic Reflection, which we need to target our Terror of the Peaks to make our tokens come into play as copies of Terror rather than relatively useless 1/1s or 2/1s. Getting Terror of the Peaks with Transmogrify means we can pull off the entire combo in one turn for a total of seven mana rather than eight, which is very relevant in some games. To win the game with our combo, we not only need Terror of the Peaks but also one or two mana for Mystic Reflection and another two mana for a token maker. Along with finding Terror, Transmogrify has another benefit: it finds Terror of the Peaks at the discounted price of just four mana. We can use it to exile a random token and know that we'll end up with Terror of the Peaks 100% of the time. Transmogrify is in our deck to find Terror of the Peaks as consistently as possible. Without a Terror of the Peaks on the battlefield, it's really, really hard for our deck to actually win (although we technically can beat down with tokens, it's unlikely to be enough to win). Step 1: Terror of the PeaksĬombo piece number one is the only real creature in our deck: Terror of the Peaks. If we do, we should win the game on the spot without ever having to attack! Let's walk through the combo itself step by step and then we'll talk about our backup plan and utility cards. We're trying to find and resolve three specific combo pieces. Mystic Terror Combo, as its name suggests, is a combo deck. The goal is to get a Terror of the Peaks on the battlefield, target it with Mystic Reflection, and then play something that makes two tokens like Forbidden Friendship or Dwarven Reinforcements, both of which will come into play as copies of Terror of the Peaks and throw 20 direct damage at our opponent's face! The rest of the deck has some light control elements to keep us alive long enough to set up our combo, along with a bunch of ways to dig through our deck for combo pieces! Can the combo of Mystic Reflection and Terror of the Peaks work in Standard on a 15 total rare / mythic budget?
