Blind Fury × Kennen — the pool's only theft from an opponent's deck, cast a second time out of your own trash

2 cards · fury + chaos · verified

Pieces

• Blind Fury ×1 OGN-025 · payoff · fury

  [Action] (Play on your turn or in showdowns.) Each opponent reveals the top card of their Main Deck. Choose one and banish it, then play it, ignoring its cost. Then recycle the rest.

• Kennen, Storm of Shuriken ×1 VEN-113 · engine · chaos

  When you play me, [Burn 2]. (Put the top 2 cards of your Main Deck into your trash.) When I conquer, give a spell in your trash [Flow] equal to its cost this turn. (You may play it from your trash for its Flow cost. Then banish it.)

Payoff

Deck

• Legend domains cover Fury and Chaos — OGN-251 Loose Cannon, OGS-017 Dark Child - Starter, SFD-185 Glorious Executioner, UNL-185 Bloodharbor Ripper, VEN-143 Master of Shadows. Blind Fury is mono-Fury and Kennen mono-Chaos (103.1.b.3), so the pair forces the identity and nothing else about the deck.

Prerequisites

• YOU PLAY IT AND YOU CONTROL IT, AND THE RULES SAY SO WITHOUT AN APPEAL TO A PARALLEL PRINTING. 191.2 makes you the Spell's Controller, 190.6.d is the rules' own statement that an implied 'you' resolves to a controller, and 191.1 — 'When a player Plays, Hides, or Creates a Card or other Game Object, they are established as that Game Object's Controller' — makes you the controller of whatever the spell plays. A stolen unit enters at your base or a battlefield you control (355.2.a) and exhausted (359.2.c).
• THE STOLEN CARD NEVER JOINS YOUR RESOURCES, AND THE UNCHOSEN ONES GO HOME. 056 / 056.2: a card its owner brought can never enter another player's non-Board zone, so a stolen spell resolves into THEIR trash (157, 351.2) and a stolen unit you later lose dies into THEIR trash. 416.1.c: 'Each player Recycles cards to their own Main Deck and Rune Deck, regardless of which player is instructed to perform the Recycle action', so 'recycle the rest' returns each opponent's unchosen card to their own deck. In a Duel (485.1: 2 players) only one card is revealed and 'the rest' is empty; that clause is live only in 2v2.
• DOMAIN IDENTITY DOES NOT GATE THE STEAL. 103.1.b.1 restricts 'Cards included in your deck'; a card in the opponent's deck is in nobody's deck of yours, and 'ignoring its cost' pays no domain Power. Any domain can land on your board this way.
• IT NEVER BURNS THE OPPONENT OUT. Blind Fury reveals; it never draws and never mills. 431.1.c: an instruction to look at or reveal past the deck reveals as many as possible 'but does not Burn Out'; 431.1.c.1 extends that to the zone change of the revealed cards. Against an empty Main Deck nothing is revealed, the Choose step has no object, and 055 resolves the spell for nothing. 431.1.a (draw) and 431.1.b ([Burn N]) are the other two branches and neither is reached.
• THE CEILING IS SIX PLAYS PER GAME, THREE OF THEM FREE OF A CARD, AND THAT IS WHY IT IS NOT INFINITE. 829.1.b ends the keyword with 'Then banish it' and 829.1.b.1 makes that a delayed replacement effect fired when the spell leaves the chain, so each copy can be re-flowed EXACTLY ONCE and is then in Banishment, out of reach of every recursion in the pool. 103.2.b caps the deck at 3 copies: 3 hand casts at 4 Energy + 2 Power plus 3 Flow casts at 4 Energy + 2 Power. The issue that opened this line described it as repeating once per conquer with no cap.
• NO BETTER REPEAT EXISTS IN THE IDENTITY, MEASURED. Every Fury / Chaos 'from your trash' line was read: OGS-010 Annie, Stubborn returns a spell to hand on a PLAY trigger (3 more, 4 Energy + 1 Power each); OGN-252 Super Mega Death Rocket! returns only itself; VEN-022 Endless Riches grants 'You may play cards from your trash' and then banishes anything that would reach the trash from outside the Main Deck, so it too is one extra play per copy; OGN-196, OGN-198, SFD-150, UNL-142 and UNL-148 replay UNITS; SFD-140 Fizz caps at Energy cost 3 and Blind Fury is 4.
• WHERE THE CONQUER COMES FROM. The minimal line takes it by attacking. OGN-286 Reckoner's Arena ('When you hold here, activate the conquer effects of units here') turns a Hold into that conquer with no attack — 383.4.g.1, whose worked example is Reckoner's Arena by name, and Kennen carries no non-conquer condition so its last sentence does not exclude him. It is NOT in uses because a battlefield is one of three and drawn at random (485.4.a, 485.5, 103.4.c), and requiring it would make the matcher demand a card that may never be on the table.
• VEN-098 Stargazer ('Spells with [Flow] you play from your trash cost 2 Energy less, to a minimum of 1 Energy') takes the Flow cast to 2 Energy + 2 Power; the Power is never discounted. 829.2 makes Flow a characteristic of the spell, which is what lets a Kennen-granted Flow qualify for a discount written for printed ones — the same step kennen-stargazer-arena-flow stands on.
• OVERLAP, DECLARED. kennen-stargazer-arena-flow already pairs VEN-113 with VEN-098 under OGN-286 and produces a discounted spell out of YOUR trash each Hold. This entry shares only Kennen, names the spell, and produces something that entry does not: cards out of the OPPONENT'S deck.
• 424.1.a.2 is the MECHANISM under the 431.1.c protection this entry already cites, and the entry carries the consequence without it: "Cards remain in the zone they are being Revealed from." Riot's own example is that a card Revealed from the top of the Main Deck "is still the top card of that player's Main Deck." So revealing can never Burn Out because NOTHING LEAVES THE DECK, which 424.1.a states as the general fact: "Revealed is a temporary state and is not a zone." Same shape this file records for 355.7 against 355.10.d and 811.6 against the tail of 811.1.b.

Steps

1. Play Kennen, Storm of Shuriken (3 Energy + 1 Power). His play trigger [Burn 2] puts the top 2 of your Main Deck into your trash (431.1.b) and may put a Blind Fury there for free.
2. Cast Blind Fury from hand for 4 Energy + 2 Power. The opponent reveals the top card of their Main Deck; banish it and play it ignoring its cost — you are its controller (191.1). Blind Fury goes to your trash (351.2).
3. On a later turn Kennen conquers. His trigger gives a spell in your trash [Flow] equal to its cost this turn: Blind Fury, 4 Energy + 2 Power (2 Energy + 2 Power with Stargazer out).
4. 829.1.b.2 — a Flow cast does not change when the spell may be played, so the Main Phase cast is legal even though the Flow was granted in your Beginning Phase if the conquer came from Reckoner's Arena. Steal a second card the same way.
5. The spell is banished as it leaves the chain (829.1.b.1). That copy is spent for the game; the next steal needs another of the three copies.

Per iteration

+1 card out of the opponent's Main Deck, played free, for 4 Energy + 2 Power (2 Energy + 2 Power with Stargazer), once per Kennen conquer

How it ends

engine only — card advantage and deck denial, capped at 6 Blind Fury plays per game by 829.1.b.1 with 103.2.b; it scores nothing by itself
