Combination of the key cards Luxior, Giada's Gift and Hex Parasite!

> Deck Creation

I'm looking for my personal deck for each format, this being my Modern-variant.
When I saw the Luxior, Giada's Gift card, I thought to myself that it must be used to assemble something. The ideas were as follows:

• What can you do with this artifact? Devoted Druid = Infinite Mana!
• Since this artifact is very special and legendary, it shouldn't appear often in this deck. How can I pick it out? Urza's Sage, Stoneforge Mystic und Karn, the Great Creator!
• Since Karn, the Great Creator uses the sideboard as a wishboard, more combo and control parts will be implemented in the wishboard!
• Since Stoneforge Mystic is doing equipment, I don't want to rely only on the one combo, but implement more equipment like Shadowspear, Batterskull, Kaldra Compleat and Virdian Longbow (as combo finisher).
• There are also overlaps with the tutor of Urza's Sage. But I would also like to implement the Hex Parasite so that this land can survive longer.
• Urza's Sage is a wonderful country. How can I find it if necessary? Elvish Reclaimer!
• Since we have a Selesnya color scheme, Flagstones of Troikar fits perfectly as a sacrificial lamb for the Elvish Reclaimer.
• I want to be flexible, which is why I'm implementing Vizier of Remedies as an alternative to Luxior, Giada's Gift.
• I want to be flexible, which is why I'm implementing Heliod, Sun-Crowned as an alternative wincon with Walking Ballista.
• How do I find the key creatures? There are many tutors, but with Finale of Devastation I can combo early and it would also be a finisher with infinite mana.
• Now we have many tutors, some different combos and an additional solid aggro plan. The rest is built in with control and protection elements.

> Tactics

This deck has different ways to win this game.

1. An aggro plan can easily be forced.

   • The Construct Tokens over Urza's Sage can become very strong.
   • Batterskull and Kaldra Compleat are easily cheated into play.
   • Elvish Reclaimer easily becomes a 3/4 creature, which also becomes a dangerous 4/5 trample + lifelink with Shadowspear.
   • Questing Beast also likes to take on an aggressive role.

2. There are several combos to win the game or some synergies that give you a strong advantage.
   Here is a list of the different possibilities:

> Devotred Druid + Luxior, Giada's Gift

Prerequisite: Luxior, Giada's Gift is equipped to the Devoted Druid. Devoted Druid has no deployment delay.
Result: Infinite mana

> Devoted Druid + Vizier of Remedies

Prerequisite: Both creatures are in play. Devoted Druid has no deployment delay.
Result: Infinite mana

> What can you do with infinite mana?

If one of the following cards is in your hand:

• Walking Ballista: Infinite Damage
• Karn, the Great Creator: Tutor Walking Ballista from wishboard (Infinite damage). Or tutor Staff of Domination to generate infinite life, tap the opposing team, draw your deck and find a solution to the current problem.
• Finale of Devastation: Tutors an infinitely strong Walking Ballista (Infinte Damage). Or tutor an infinitely powerful Stoneforge Mystic that tutors equipment with trample. Play this equipment, equip it to Stoneforge Mystic and attack with it.
• Viridian Longbow: Since the Devoted Druid can untap an infinite number of times, you can shoot an infinite amount of damage if the Longbow is equipped to it. (Has nothing to do with infinite mana, but still part of the combo constellation)

It is also possible to make all creatures infinitely strong via Shalai, Voice of Plenty.

In addition, the combo Devoted Druid + Luxior, Giada's Gift can be used to pump the Hex Parasite to infinite strength, as it can remove all -1/-1 counters from the Druid.

> Heliod, Sun-Crowned + Walking Ballista

Prerequisite: Both creatures are in play. Walking Ballista has at least 2 +1/+1 counters and lifelink (e.g. via Heliod, Sun-Crowned ).
Result: Infinite damage and infinite life

> Heliod, Sun-Crowned + Kitchen Finks + Altar of Dementia

Prerequisite: All permanents on the battlefield.
Result: Infinite mill and infinite life

> Vizier of Remedies + Kitchen Finks + Altar of Dementia

Prerequisite: All permanents on the battlefield.
Result: Infinite mill and infinite life

> [Synergie] Hex Parasite + Kitchen Finks + Altar of Dementia

Prerequisite: All permanents on the battlefield.
Result: 3 cards are milled per mana. The life you get from Kitchen Finks is needed for the Hex Parasite for the phyrexian {b}.

> [Synergie] Hex Parasite + Urza's Sage

Prerequisite: Both pernaments on the battlefield.
Result: As soon as the third token is placed on Urza's Sage, you can remove a token with the help of the Hex Parasite. This allows you to produce Construct Tokens every turn and search for {1} mana artifacts from your deck (as long as the mana is available).

> [Synergie] Questing Beast + Virdian Longbow

Prerequisite: Virdian Longbow is equipped on Questing Beast.
Result: Questing Beast can attack and shoot any creature at the same time.

This deck has a total of 19 tutor effects, not counting Windswept Heath and Flagstones of Trokair. Karn, the Great Creator uses the sideboard as a wishboard.
With so many tutor effects, you can easily force the different combos or implement an aggro plan.

Most cards serve as protection for different combos. The advantage of this deck is that Karn, the Great Creator uses the sideboard as a wishboard and so you indirectly have much more access to control elements.
