Alright. This will be a hella lot of money.

Mlerner12

How is this? (Note: in Commander, {Psnoptic Mirror} is NOT legal and JtMS is. Lol).

Double-O-Scotch

Because JtMS doesn't give you an extra turn every upkeep...

Mlerner12

Yeah... That's true. It IS a broken card in the right deck. I'm surprised {Reaseaech // Developmrnt} is still legal!!

Mlerner12

So, is this a good deck?

Double-O-Scotch

I'd switch out the {syncopate} and the {cancel} for {dissipate} and {spell crumple}

Mlerner12

Alright, seem like good replacements. And maybe cancel with {Counterflux} instead?

Mana base needs A LOT of work... That being said...

Riku is my main commander, so I have a lot of opinions regarding the options available for RUG...

I have found that by far the most successful versions of riku are what I refer to as "creature toolboxes".

Creatures with unique (or not) etb abilities that are still valuable when copied.

That being said... Torpor orb is your worst enemy...

Imagine bribery... Copied... And copying each creature you snag out of your opponents decks... Value :)

If you want, I can re input the current version of my riku for you, but it might take a day or two...Then post it so you can take a look at a highly tuned "tournament" riku deck...

I know, the mana is still in progress. And this is new, so I would like that 😉

Okay, so what should I edit? I want to have it as good as possible before I trade for the cards.

Bumped my original version of riku - life has been throwing curveballs my way, in and out of the hospital so I haven't had time to update, but I hope you get an idea do what the deck is like and can use it as a reference point for your own build. :)
