At first glance, Tomomi Shiraishi's Extended combo deck is very strange looking. Summoner's Pact in a deck with no green creatures? Hive Mind? Ethereal Usher? Here's how Tomomi used the innovative deck to go 4-2 on the Extended day at Worlds: Ethereal Usher transmutes for Hive Mind. Dark Rituals allow Tomomi to accelerate out the expensive enchantment, then he simply casts Pact of the Titan or Summoner's Pact. Hive Mind automatically copies the spell for Tomomi's opponent, who then very likely dies on his or her next upkeep, unable to pay for the Pact!
