Show and Tell has been one of the premier combo decks in Legacy for many years now. With a relatively compact combo and the ability to easily combo on turns one or two, it’s hard to argue against Show and Tell being one of the most powerful combo decks in the format. That said, there are several flavors of the deck, and this week 1Point put together a new take on the Omniscience versions of Show and Tell:


Show and Tell
The power of Show and Tell is that your combo is compact. It takes up only six slots in this list. That leaves a substantial amount of space for cantrips to increase your consistency and interaction to force through your combo or buy you time against opposing unfair decks. Burning Wish is a great example of that flexibility in this particular list, giving you access to Show and Tell out of the sideboard, Overmaster, By Force, Enter the Infinite, and other haymaker sorceries that punish particular strategies.

The most exciting piece of innovation in this list is the inclusion of Pieces of the Puzzle. Given the density of spells and cantrips in this deck, you’re pretty likely to get multiple hits. The ability to start generating both card advantage and selection early in the game is huge, and gives you the ability to play through counterspells more effectively than you might otherwise, particularly given the inclusion of Overmaster in your 75.

Omniscience is the win condition of choice because it trumps cards like Karakas and plays well with Pieces of the Puzzle. You can put Omniscience into play and then just cast all your cantrips for free until you find an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Griselbrand to end the game. Burning Wish is live as well, since it can find Enter the Infinite. If you’re looking for a new flavor of Show and Tell that gives you more of an advantage against opposing Counterspell decks, this seems like one of the better shells that you could be exploring.
