Winterblast on Chinese Suicide

jiebie Bhaal666, I've updated the deck so that it is what I actually played on wednesday. It was the first test of the deck and it worked enough to make me win a 4 player game.

My Opponents were The Mimeoplasm, Nekusar, the Mindrazer and the new cascade commander. The game was really weird right from the beginning because Nekusar started with Chains of Mephistopheles and I followed with Waste Not. We had quite a hard time determining when all the abilities trigger and resolve when the cascade player put out Dissipation Field and Nekusar attempted to wheel and mill everyone. I somehow managed to get Chainer, Dementia Master out as soon as I had 5 mana and then with all the drawing and discarding dropped down to 9 life because I reanimated quite a few creatures with him too. Chainer is really cool, I see why you play him as commander jiebie...I actually countered a spell by reanimating Mystic Snake once. Eventually I won by attacking the cascade player once with all my stuff, including a stolen It That Betrays, and Maralen of the Mornsong + Ob Nixilis, Unshackled reduced the other 2 Players enough to finish with a Kokusho, the Evening Star and Altar of Dementia although the board had been cleared with Damnation before. I have to admit the last move was a lucky draw because I got the Altar back from the graveyard with the dying Myr Retriever and Kokusho came from the top.

In this game I had a huge lot of mana in the end, so maybe an X spell such as Exsanguinate might indeed be possible. I don't know if this was a result of the twisted game with Chains right in the beginning or because I ploughed through the deck with my waste not...I'll Keep the deck as it is for more testing and then decide what will be changed.
