Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura don't combo with Cormela, Glamour Thief because of that pesky instants and sorceries clause, so we'll need to look elsewhere. Unfortunately, we can't take all our lessons from Arixmethes. We can play Cormela, Glamour Thief, take advantage of the powerful ramp engine, and then combo off when the time is right. We can then apply a lesson from the Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle decks.

Sound familiar? Cormela, Glamour Thief also costs 4 and can add two total mana. Because Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle needs to wait a while before we can enchant it with Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura, it instead acts as a powerful ramp engine, costing 4 mana and being able to add two mana until we can combo. These combos can give us a perspective on a different way to combo with a commander.
#SIMIC YOINK SERIES#
My overarching goal with this series is to look at each new set and showcase a bit of what they do for combo players or interested individuals. Pieces of the Puzzle is a series that takes a look into combo decks, both how they function, and how they are made. In case you missed the last article, welcome to Pieces of the Puzzle! I’m your host, Goldshot, a Head Editor on the Commander Spellbook project and still trying to think of some fancy way to start these articles.
