Combo

---

I have tried a few combos like Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion or Necrotic Ooze + Phyrexian Devourer + Triskelion but i think most of the cards are not that good on their own (in this build!) or it takes too long to activate the combo.

And in most of the point for me it feels a bit unfun to win a game this way.

So I removed the auto win combos and left a few more cheesy ones:

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Woodfall Primus + sac outlet --> noncreature removal

Massacre Wurm + Nature's Revolt --> destroy all opponents lands. I have thought about playing Living Plane + Minister of Pain but in my opinion Massacre Wurm has the bigger board impact than Minister of Pain . Besides Living Plane is too expensive.
