Twin-finity

ive been throwing a joke around at the shop that seems plausible and tell me what you guys think about it. Splinter twin and Affinity together

T1-Opal, citadel, ornithopter
T2-land-flash in pester mite or exarch
T3-land, splintertwin

I mean they have swans twin, living twin, and unburial rights twin. Why not throw it in the fast deck in the format? I mean all you do is play affinity like normal and Pop off twin if you draw into it which isn't hard with thoughtcast. And if they do a "all creatures get -1/-1" card just tap steel overseer in response.

I threw together a list in casual if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Thing is there is nothing to protect the combo.  A simple path to exile wrecks your combo.  A smart twin player will hold a {dispel} or at least a {mana leak} before casting twin.  I think you are taking too much away from each deck when you build them into one.

Could be true but glance over at the casual section and see how I constructed it, it's really not bad.

It... It is pretty bad.. I replied to your thread in casual with a number of reasons why.

I tried to do this once with Delver and Scapeshift and it did not work out well.  My idea was delver will almost certainly flip with as much instant/sorc as this deck runs and delver can punch in fast damage so I would only need to pop scapeshift for the minimum amount.  Yea it was just too inconsistent....

I can imagine. It seems like a few other decks are doing it for instance, there was an unburial rights twin deck that ran the whole elesh norn/Iona shield of emeria with gifts ungiven but then also had the twin combo. Also, living twin is a deck as well. Just thought "hey why not" but oh well.

Yeah unfortunately jank doesn't get much support in these forums

[Codester1991]

Muggy, let me correct you there, it gets NO support lol

[Kaylesh]

Disagree. We Timmies have our niche in combo corner and to a lesser degree casual.

Twin-Finity and  {Beyond}

Have you seen my brews? Lol. Jank is fun, but it's not always competitive.

The problem with mashing two decks together is that you usually have two good decks and end up playing neither of them. That's the problem with {Ensoul Artifact} in standard. There was a fast deck that killed people on turn three and a deck that ramped into big things and not enough love for either of them and nothing to really bridge the gap between the two so in the end we had an inconsistent deck that might manage to kill quickly or might ramp into something big but usually odd nothing.

Sometimes mashing things together works, that's why Living Twin is a thing. Sometimes it doesn't.

All this being said I've been thinking about U/B Affinity Soul Control for a while now.
