The rising star of modern, Living End has been around for awhile, but has clearly seen more play since Amonkhet released. The game plan is simple: Cycle big creatures like Horror of the Broken Lands and Street Wraith draw into your Cascade cards and Living End for the win!

A powerful aspect of the Living End deck, is it's adaptive nature. The combo can go off at instant speed, or even be Suspended. Grafdigger's Cage and Hallowed Moonlight have no effect on the combo, and the deck has built in removal (Beast Within) to counter Rest in Peace. Even with such graveyard hate out though, the glory of this deck is that you can just cast huge threats if need be.

Living End, when cast, exiles all creatures from all graveyards, and forces all creatures on the field to be sacrificed. To profit off of this, the deck runs big creatures with cycling to fish for combo enablers and to get power in the graveyard. Though Living End can be suspended, you will almost always be casting it using the Cascade mechanic. Violent Outburst and Demonic Dread being your main outs. Since there are no cheaper cards in the deck, you will automatically cascade into the combo. With Violent Outburst at instant speed, you can even combo defensively!
