Combo and Synergy - January

Like many of you, I can't wait to see what all World Wake has in store...and like many of you...I look for new spoilers every day, hoping to find how the new set can be broken. Here are a few spoiled cards from World Wake that have some cool interactions with some cards we already know. (Thanks to MTGSalvation for the spoiled lists).




As if Red wasn't strong enough. In the new set, Red can carry a playset of this in its sideboard to cripple Blue. Ricochet Trap reads:

"Instant - Trap. If an opponent cast a Blue spell this turn, you may pay R rather than pay Ricochet Trap’s mana cost. Change the target of target spell with a single target."

For one Red, you can change the target of any counterspell a Blue player has to target Ricochet Trap instead of its original target.




Knight of the Reliquary is such a cool card and Celestial Colonade is amazing. In a Bant deck, he can sacrifice a Forest or Plains to find a 4/4 Blue and White vigiliant, flyer that produces mana. I cant wait to see what other manlands come out in the new set.




This is one my favorite combos from the new set. Enchant a fetch land such as Misty Rain Forest. Block with your Misty Rainforest / Wind Zendikon creature. Sacrifice the fetch land. When sacrificed you are able to search for a Island or Forest and return the Misty Rainforest to your due to Wind Zendikon's triggered ability. This could really break landfall decks.




Kalastria Highborn could be a really broken card in the new set. Paired with Vampire Aristocrat you can sacrifice any creature at any time to Syphon Soul your opponent. Pair these cards with Bloodghast and you could have a truly broken combo.
