The key is to carefully select creatures that can generate powerful effects when copied, such as Dockside Extortionist and Biovisionary.
Copying Spells and Creature Abilities

This opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to double down on the effects that benefit you the most.

Mana Ramp
As a seasoned sorcerer, you know how crucial mana is in any battle. That’s why this deck offers various mana ramp options to ensure you always stay one step ahead of your opponents. Cultivate and Kodama’s Reach are essential spells that will help you accelerate your mana base and unlock the true potential of your deck. With abundant mana at your disposal, no spell will be out of reach.
Combo Pieces
Every great deck has its fair share of powerful combos, and the Riku of Two Reflections Commander deck is no exception. With the right combination of cards, you can unleash devastating effects that will put you miles ahead of your opponents. From the explosive power of Worldgorger Dragon and Dockside Extortionist to the versatile Rite of Replication, this deck is full of surprises that will keep your opponents guessing.
Assess the Board
Before you unleash the full potential of your deck, take a moment to assess the battlefield. Understanding your opponents’ strategies and potential threats will allow you to make informed decisions and save your resources for the most critical moments. Adaptability is key, and being aware of the board state will give you the upper hand.
Timing is Everything
Knowing when to cast your spells and trigger Riku’s ability is crucial. By carefully selecting the right moments to duplicate abilities or play powerful spells, you can catch your opponents off guard and turn the tide of the game. Patience and timing are key to mastering this deck.
Threat Assessment
While it’s tempting to copy every spell in sight, it’s essential to prioritize threats. Assessing the power level of your opponents’ cards and potential game-ending combos will help you make better decisions. Choose wisely and use your resources strategically to neutralize the most significant threats on the battlefield.
Adaptive Play
Every game is different, and the Riku of Two Reflections Commander deck allows for adaptive playstyles. Whether you prefer a more aggressive approach or a patient control strategy, this deck can adapt to your playstyle. Experiment, try new combinations, and surprise your opponents with unexpected moves.
Key Cards
Dockside Extortionist: This sneaky little goblin is not to be underestimated. With his ability to generate treasure tokens for each artifact and enchantment your opponents control, you can quickly amass a treasure trove of mana to fuel your spells and abilities. Plus, he’s a great source of mana ramp early in the game.
Eternal Witness: Need to get back a crucial spell or creature from your graveyard? Look no further than the trusted Eternal Witness. With her ability to return a card from your graveyard to your hand, you can recur important pieces that have been lost or destroyed.
Biovisionary: This quirky little creature is a win condition all on its own. If you control four or more creatures named Biovisionary at the beginning of your end step, you win the game! With the ability to copy your creatures, Riku of Two Reflections can help you duplicate Biovisionary and create an army of clones to secure victory.
Mirror Image: With Riku’s ability to copy spells and creature abilities, you’ll definitely want to have Mirror Image in your arsenal. Not only does it provide another creature to bolster your ranks, but it also has the potential to create even more copies thanks to Riku’s ability.
Worldgorger Dragon: This mighty dragon has the ability to exile and return all your permanents to the battlefield. While this may seem risky, if you stack the triggers just right, you can generate an infinite amount of mana and gain infinite enter the battlefield triggers. Combine this with Riku’s copying ability, and you have a recipe for unlimited power.
Wrap Up
Remember, mastering Riku of Two Reflections isn’t just about having a powerful deck. It’s about understanding the dynamics of the game, assessing threats, and making the right moves at the right time. So go forth, my friend, and unleash the power of reflection and adaptation. Victory awaits!
