Retriever's loop (Modern)

Combo deck to play the Myr Retriever's infinite loop.

The combo needs 4 cards :

• 2 x Myr Retriever
• 1 engine (ie. Heartless Summoning or Krark-Clan Ironworks)
• 1 kill (ie. Altar of the Brood or Genesis Chamber)

The very only one goal is to get the combo running (and it can be really fast with the perfect start hand : 2 turns).

In order to push up the odds I've included 6 cards for both the engine and the kill.

• Altar costs only 1 and kills on the opponent's next draw step.

• Genesis costs 2 and kills on our next combat phase provided the opponent can't dodge the attack (luckily we've got some counters to ease it).

• Heartless costs only 1B and we don't have to pay any mana to cast the myrs.

• Ironworks costs 4 (colorlessness is good though) and we have to pay an additionnal 2 to cast the first myr.

Spoiler alert : the perfect hand - 6 cards -

• 2x Myr Retriever

• 1x Altar of the Brood

• 1x Heartless Summoning

• 1x Swamp

• 1x Land of any color

• Turn 1 : 1x Swamp + 1x Altar

• Turn 2 : 1x Heartless Summoning => the Myrs are FREE !! Play them and WIN !

Not so lucky hand :
In this case all you have to do is to fetch what you're missing :

• Artifact (everything but Heartless) => Fabricate or Diabolic Tutor
• 2CCM cards (everything but Altar and Ironworks) => Transmute cards (Muddle the Mixture and Shred Memory)

Against control (worst match-up ?) :
I've not played this deck but I guess it can go like this :

• Turn 1 : Duress
• Next few turns : gather the combo and some lands and some counters (and why not play Baral?)
• When you feel ready, try to slip the combo through the counters (wish you good luck!)
