First of all, right out of the gate this particular deck idea is not my own. The Professor at Tolarian Community College gave me the idea for the deck. This is simply what I have currently built. Some cards in the deck are sub-optimal, and others are just my own little twists and changes. The Professor's original deck can be found in his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tFd3xySPG4

With the disclaimer out of the way, we can begin. This is already becoming one of my favorite decks. The deck is primarily combo based, with may of said combos revolving around Darkest Hour and Teysa, Orzhov Scion

Key combos:

Darkest Hour + Teysa, Orzhov Scion - This combo makes it so that any time ANY of my creatures dies, I get a 1/1 spirit. Because of Darkest Hour, the spirit is black. With sac outlets this allows me to go infinite very easily. Most of the other combos in the deck revolve around this pair:

Blasting Station - infinite damage with the aforementioned combo.

Sadistic Hypnotist - infinite discard.

Viscera Seer - infinite scry.

Ashnod's Altar - infinite mana. Use with Death Grasp to kill a single opponent, debt to the deathess to kill all other players, or with Phyrexian Broodlings for an infinitely large creature.

Soul Warden - infinite life with the help of a sac outlet. Can also be done with Suture Priest. Use with Ajani's Pridemate for an infinitely large creature.

Blood Artist - infinite leeching with the help of a sac outlet.

Dark Prophecy - nearly infinite draw with a sac outlet.

Butcher of Malakir - infinite sacrifice based removal with a sac outlet. Can also be done with Dictate of Erebos.

Altar of the Brood - pair with a sac outlet for infinite mill.

And there you have it. A strong combo deck. Darkest Hour can be cut to turn the decks power down at will a well, for when you want a less competitive game. Please +1 if you enjoy it, and be sure to check out the Professor's original list here:

And as always, suggestions are welcome! :)
