The main combo in this deck is Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons , Obelisk Spider and Decimator Beetle . Use Crocodile of the Crossing , Baleful Ammit and Channeler Initiate to activate Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons 's and Obelisk Spider 's abilities. Use your 1/1 snakes to block any attackers, and use Obelisk Spider to block any creatures with flying. Place all the -1/-1 counters you have to place on your creatures on Channeler Initiate and Soulstinger . Use Rattleblaze Scarecrow as a constant attacker. When it dies, because it has persist, it comes back into play with a -1/-1 counter on it. Use Decimator Beetle to remove the -1/-1 counter from it, so that when Rattleblaze Scarecrow dies, it comes back into play again. Save up your mana to cast Worldspine Worm and constantly hit them with devastating blows. Use Deathsprout , Lethal Sting and Casualties of War to destroy any creatures that may be a threat to you, like creatures you can't block. You can also use Storrev, Devkarin Lich to resurrect any creatures you have that your opponents might have killed. And finally, you can use Liliana, Death Wielder to set off your combo each turn, destroy any major threats, and to resurrect all creatures in your graveyard. Another way to set off your combo effectively is Liliana's Influence . Because you but a -1/-1 counter on each and every creature you don't control, your combo sets off for each creature targeted, allowing you to create a whole bunch of snakes, and gain a whole bunch of life, while doing a bunch of damage to your opponents, great for a huge comeback! And that's just the control part. This deck also happens to have some aggro in it. Use Cartouche of Ambition to give Crocodile of the Crossing lifelink and attack with it and any Baleful Ammit s you get. This causes you to gain huge loads of life, up to 10 each turn (if you have Crocodile of the Crossing enchanted with Cartouche of Ambition and Baleful Ammit ). I hope you enjoy this deck! :D
