  • Steps

    How does this combo work?

    • 1
      Cast Vadrok for its Mutate cost by paying {1}{wu}{r}{r}, targeting a creature you control.
    • 2
      Holding priority, cast Chef's Kiss by paying {1}{r}{r}, targeting the Vadrok spell.
    • 3
      Resolve Chef's Kiss, creating a copy of the Vadrok spell that will target your non-Human creature due to your opponent not controlling any legal targets.
    • 4
      Vadrok's mutate ability triggers, causing you to cast Chef's Kiss from your graveyard without paying its mana cost.
    • 5
      Repeat from step 3.
    • 6
      For each time a Vadrok has mutated on top of this creature, Vadrok's mutate ability triggers, causing you to cast any number of noncreature cards with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard.
