Hello everyone!
Im not the kind of guy who can spend lots and lots of money on MTG, so with this deck i've wanted to be competitive as much as i can with the cards that i own, some cards aren't cheap, but they are on my pool so im using them. If you wanna replace something leave a comment =D.
I took lots and lots of infos on RNR_Gaming deck, if you want to check his deck heres the link: CITADEL CEDH PRIMER
So this deck works as a Combo Focused deck, but u'll be able to win without using infinite combos, with some nice interactions.
Since i couldn't spend much money, i've tried to reach other stuff that could help me finish my oponents, like Phyrexian Obliterator and Kokusho.
Let me explain how my deck works:
We can't be fast as an expensive deck, so i went to some Stax pieces like:
Infernal Darkness
No Mercy
Defense Grid
Pestilence
With those cards, we can hold the game in our favor and sometimes protect our combos with
Infernal Darkness
.
We won't reach infinite mana using
Rings of Brighthearth
, so i went to double mana's with some stuff like
Doubling Cube
and
Bubbling Muck
With
Bubbling Muck
/
Doubling Cube
/
Nirkana Revenant
/
Crypt Ghast
/
Cabal Coffers
/
Lake of the Dead
, we can easily go 20 manas per turn, on our ALL IN turns, using Lake of the dead, we can go up to 50 manas (believe me).
So lets go to our WIN CONDITIONS:
Combos:
a) Doomsday Order: 1-Infernal Contract, 2- Sacrifice, 3- Triskelion, 4- Mikaeus, 5- Viscera seer/Carrion Feeder.
This first combo will work with sacrificing Trisk, and pinging players off.
b) Doomsday Order: 1- Aetherflux Reservoir. 2- Bolas's Citadel, 3- Sensei's Divining Top, 4- Use sensei's ability so you'll draw and put him on top, 5- Use Bola's Citadel (playing the top card -sensei- gaining life and losing life from citadel, 6- Repeat the whole process to kill everyone out with Reservoir ability.
c) It will cost us 8 life for each cast and return. Once we're able to cast this spell and gain 8 life per cast we have a combo. The absolute minimum amount of life we can start this loop with just K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth + Aetherflux Reservoir + Leshrac's Sigil is 37.
37-8+1=30
30-8+2=24
24-8+3=19
19-8+4=15
15-8+5=12
12-8+6=10
10-8+7=9
9-8+8=9
THANKS RNR_GAMING
d) Chainer:
We'll need to have on the battlefield Chainer, K'rrik, Viscera Seer/Carrion, Gary (Gray Merchant).
It'll work like this: Sac Gary to Viscera/Carrion and activate Chainer's, u'll need to pay 9 life, so u'll bring out from the graveyard Gary, when Gary comes in player's will lose 8 life each one, so if you're playing against 3 u'll gain 24 life.
e) Gravecrawler: Carrion, Gravecrawler and Aetherflux Reservoir. That one is easy, u'll sac for carrion and cast Crawler for 2 life gaining life with Aetherflux, just repeat that and kill the table with Aetherflux Reservoir.
Nice cards for K'rrik:
With cards like Phyrexian Obliterator u'll be able to pay 8 life (with K'rrik on the battlefield) early on the game and finish someone off.
Magus of the Will can help us playing our stuff from our grave for just 2 manas.
Kokusho can help us finish our opponents off, sometimes we won't be able to finish with combos, and sometimes we'll need to get some life back, so since we can make lots of mana with this deck, it's usual to exsanguinate ppl for 30 ... And stuff like that, so Kokusho will come in doing some mess with their lifes, or atleast giving us a lot of life for just 4 manas and 4 life =D.
Withered Wretch and Kalitas will help us dealing with our opponents graves.
I've made this deck with cards that i already own, so i replaced Dismember for an "budget" version, Defile. Also Toxic Deluge for Mutilate.
If you guys have the same problem with combos as me on your field, just try to replace some card that u prefer for:
Bitter Ordeal
Sadistic Sacrament
Pithing Needle
Deck's still being tested/updated.
Thanks and hope u enjoy it.
