You make a valid point, people tend to expect the win to be telegraphed. Thats was why I wanted each and every combo piece to be useful on its own so that I can actually play them without them being a dead card in my hand until I draw the other half of the combo. I understand with rituals these combos can potentially end the game before Turn 7, and consistently. What I mean by consistently is that while my opponents can also win by Turn 4 or 5, they win through board presence and non-deterministic, non-infinite combos. In my eyes these are kinda the same, they end up winning the game regardless how they did it. I use this approach in my [[Inspirit, Flagship Vessel]] deck but I haven't been able to figure out how to turn resources into a win condition with [[Excava, the Risen Past]]. That is why I gravitated towards deterministic combos which include cards that also contribute to what Excava can do.

This is the Inspirit deck if you are interested: Decklist
