My MTG tag team. My Fabulous Freebirds

Happy July Steemit!

I've been playing a bunch of Magic between games with @kommienezuspadt at Caffetto and games of Arena at home.

Almost all of my decks have revolved around 3 cards... my favorite Magic tag team.
I use them in all color combos with red.

I call them my Fabulous Freebirds, since they are the greatest 3 person tag team ever.

The Michael Hayes of the combo, and core of the group is Saheeli Rai.

She is a 3 drop planeswalker that makes a 1/1 servo everytime I play a non-creature spell.
She can also make one of the servos a copy of another creature I control, which is where the fun begins:)

My Terry Gordy, and most of the time my win condition is the Guttersnipe.

He does 2 damage to each opponent everytime I play an instant or sorcery... even if it gets countered!
Using spells that do direct damage already, like Shock and Lighting Strike, this can get out of hand quickly.

My Buddy Roberts is the Dreadhorde Arcanist.

Everytime he attacks, I can cast an instant or sorcery from my graveyard for free if it has a cmc that is equal to or less than his power.
With all 3 of the Freebirds on the battlefield, this is brutal.
My favorite combo happens with a blue card, Stealth Mission.

Under the perfect circumstances, I use Saheeli to copy a Guttersnipe, giving me 2 of them.
I cast Stealth mission on the Dreadhorde Arcanist, making him a 3/5 that can't be blocked.
My Guttersnipes do 4 damage for the spell being cast.
Moving to attacks, I recast Stealth Mission with the Dreadhorde Arcanist, doing 4 more damage from the Guttersnipes and making him an unblockable 5/7!
With no other attacks, that's 13 damage!
