Deadly Precision Can Wake Darklight Phoenix for One Mana

Deadly Precision can supply both creature deaths Darklight Phoenix wants for just {B}: sacrifice one creature to pay the spell’s extra cost, then destroy another. If both deaths happen before your beginning of combat, Phoenix can return from the graveyard.

Setup / catch: Darklight Phoenix in your graveyard. Before combat on your turn, cast Deadly Precision for {B} by sacrificing a creature, then destroy another creature.

What to check next: After Arena release on September 29 and tabletop release on October 2, watch whether Deadly Precision appears in real Darklight Phoenix lists rather than remaining a content-creator option. The key gameplay check is whether the removal target actually dies before combat.

Teferi’s Reproach Can Keep a Board Phased Out

Teferi’s Reproach normally buys one turn by phasing out an opponent’s nonlands. Disciple of Caelus Nin can stop those permanents from phasing back in, so the defense becomes a persistent lock while Disciple survives.

Setup / catch: Disciple of Caelus Nin already on the battlefield, then Teferi's Reproach targeting an opponent to phase out their nonland permanents.

What to check next: Check whether Multiverse Reforged upgrade lists repeatedly add Disciple alongside Reproach.

Sai's Fresh Thopters Can Tap for Two Mana

Sai makes a Thopter whenever you cast an artifact, and Grand Architect can turn that new token blue for {U}. The fresh Thopter can then tap immediately for {C}{C} toward another artifact spell or artifact ability.

Setup / catch: Sai and Grand Architect on the battlefield. After casting an artifact, pay {U} to make Sai's new Thopter blue.

What to check next: Watch whether other Keen Engineering upgrade lists independently converge on Grand Architect after release; keep any later market check version-specific.

Omnath Turns Victory Chimes Into a Multiplayer Mana Battery

Victory Chimes can make mana on every player's turn, and Omnath lets you keep each activation—up to four banked colorless mana per rotation in a typical four-player pod.

Setup / catch: Omnath and Victory Chimes under your control. Tap Chimes on every player's turn, choosing yourself to add {C}.

What to check next: Confirm Omnath remains under your control through the turns where mana is being banked; if Omnath leaves, that stored mana will be lost normally at the end of the current step or phase unless spent.

Reward the Faithful Can Draw Six With Ghost Counsel

With the six-mana Niv-Mizzet, Ghost Counsel already in play, Reward the Faithful can turn one white mana into six cards. Target yourself, gain six life, then choose to pay it through Niv’s trigger.

Setup / catch: Niv on the battlefield. Cast Reward the Faithful for {W} targeting yourself; you gain life equal to the greatest mana value among your permanents, at least 6 with Niv.

What to check next: Niv must be in play when you gain the life. Removing him before Reward resolves stops his draw trigger; the spell is much weaker without him.
