Welcome to death!

Chainer cEDH - PRIMER

An Introduction

Creeping in the dark... a mighty call of death and rot. Its hard to see full combo approaches outside the mighty Sidisi, Undead Vizier or the overestimated Razaketh, the Foulblooded - But, I show to you now how to use a nonglass cannon - full combo deck - Yeah, Chainer enables several comebacks along the game. The deck isnt dead until our life points reach ZERO.

If you like decks that are hard to play with - yeah, dude - this is your deck.

Game Plan

Firstly, all that we need know is: We'll try to combo with Necrotic Ooze! Like this-> Buried Alive + any reanimation spell!

Secondly, dont be afraid with grave hate! Helm of Obedience can combo using opposing Rest in Peace or using Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void

Keep in mind, other players will try to win too! It's a cEDH game, bro. Our deck lack responses, opposing players will counter themselves and dont know how our deck works properly, use baits, use wipes, use the opennings to win.

This deck have many ways to combo, however some combos demands more setup than anothers. Sometimes, against stax decks the game speed slowdown - we still have pieces to dominate this boardstate, Chainer is a situational card that give us the beloved power of RECURSION!

Combos

They are separated by difficult level:

The easy ones

(They may be really fast, for example, buried alive and a reanimation spell - as a T1 combo)

Necrotic Ooze + Phyrexian Devourer + Triskelion

Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion

The medium ones (requiring Ashnod's Altar):

Kokusho, the Evening Star + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Nim Deathmantle

Kokusho, the Evening Star + Nim Deathmantle + Phyrexian Delver

Gray Merchant of Asphodel + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Nim Deathmantle

Gray Merchant of Asphodel + Nim Deathmantle + Phyrexian Delver

Nim Deathmantle + Priest of Gix

Corpse Dance + Jet Medallion + Priest of Gix

The medium ones (requiring Chainer, Dementia Master and math class):

Kokusho, the Evening Star + Priest of gix + Phyrexian Delver + Phyrexian Altar

Gray Merchant of Asphodel + Priest of gix + Phyrexian Delver + Phyrexian Altar

The Hard ones (What a hell is going on?):

Corpse Dance + Necropotence + Skirge Familiar : Necropotence ability to remove discarded cards use the stack, draw many cards and try to combo in the endstep! Remember, you can use the instant reanimation spells as Corpse Dance, Shallow Grave or Chainer, Dementia Master ability - combing with Necrotic Ooze or deals tons of life loss using Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Kokusho, the Evening Star.

The Hardy"Dun" ones (Really?):

Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed + Living death + carnival of souls + phyrexian altar - Whoa! You need 2 any creatures - considering a life gain one like Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Kokusho, the Evening Star to bypass the Carnival of Souls "damage".

Remember Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed bring back Living Death and Living Death bring back Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed and his friends a putrid loop of pain and death.

This combo can works with different sac outlets, but you may need more creatures to maximize carnival of souls eficiency - each loop will demands five mana to cast Living Death over and over again. Opossing creatures can trigger carnival of souls too .

The Very Hard ones "dancing time" (You need Corpse Dance, 3 opponents and several math lessons):

Kokusho, the Evening Star + priest of gix + Phyrexian Delver + Ashnod's Altar

Gray Merchant of Asphodel + priest of gix + Phyrexian Delver + Ashnod's Altar

The Very Hard ones "Chainer's time" (You need Chainer, Dementia Master, 3 opponents and more math lessons):

Corpse Dance + Razaketh, the Foulblooded + Soldevi Adnate - Yeah! I did it 1 time in my entire life, Soldevi sacs Razaketh to Add 8 mana, reanimate razaketh using Chainer BBB, Razaketh sac Soldevi for TUTOR, Corpse Dance reanimate Soldevi with Haste thats sacs Razaketh again and this loop still running until your life points be entire depleted or you win the game xD.

Weaknesses

Monoblack decks dont have blue color (OH, NO!)- Yeah, this is a big threat... We dont have Force of Will, Pact of Negation and other cards to protect our combo, we can't deal with opposing Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter or Paradox Engine combos.

Over than 20 life points is highly necessary to setup our loops.

The deck have power to deal against grave hate, Cursed Totem, Torpor Orb and Null Rod and another stax/hate pieces - It's hard, but It is possible.

Conclusion

I really love this deck, because it is unique and it can be very oppresive and unpredicable. Stunning Reversal is a great card and I'll study this slot applicability.

I told some combos because its nearly impossible to list all of them, this deck can adapt these combos in different ways or use sinergies with high efficiency.

Look: Rune-Scarred Demon + Sacrifice - a cheap way to reach 7 black mana and I can use Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed to bring back sacrifice and Chainer, Dementia Master to reanimate both creatures -> BBB - reanimate demon - BBB reanimate Xiahou thats bring back B-sacrifice = SEVEN BLACK MANA LOOP -> look, I can tutor my entire deck (beware with our life points)!

Use the tutors wisely, try to sinergize game moves, because we can reutilize it again, Carnival of Souls is a powerful card in this deck, beware with our life points it is our most valuable resource and have fun destroying your oponnents.
