Maybeboard


Deck designed to use graveyards to its advantage. Anger and Filth let your steals or reanimations come in, swing for damage, tap for abilities, and get sacc'd to your other stuff.

Win cons include: Ramping mana into large Torment of Hailfire or extort with Blind Obedience and Crypt Ghast

Combos that I've noticed so far include:

Beacon of Immortality + Tainted Remedy for instant kill ;

Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank for infinite mill, activate with Blood Artist

Replace Bloodchief with Twilight Prophet for recurring mill ;

Bloodchief Ascension with Thornbite Staff for infinite creature and sac depending on graveyards

Sideboarded* Eon Hub + Glacial Chasm for 0 damage ;

Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Puppeteer Clique We can Blood Artist for lethal, make a big board to attack with, especially with our keywords, and thin out the creatures in graveyards we don't want to steal in the future ;

Karmic Guide + Reveillark with Altar goes great with Blood Artist

Replace Altar with Shivan Harvest to do land destruction ;

Mimic Vat with Thought-Knot Seer for filling graveyard or removing combo pieces ;

Tariel, Reckoner of Souls + Thornbite Staff and a sac outlet can create interesting combos ;

Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Bigly Mana ;

Salvage Scout + Solemn Simulacrum with Reveillark gets tons of mana, add sac outlet for tutor replace Solemn for whatever artifact you need back ;

Sideboarded* Champion of Stray Souls combos with our stolen creatures to get whatever we need back, possibly weakest card in deck ; I've replaced with Adarkar Valkyrie the tap works great with the staff and a sac outlet, as an alternate Tariel with a lower CMC she is great.

Life's Finale and other Board wipes dump more dudes into the grave for stealing targets ;

Illusionist's Bracers + Tariel, Reckoner of Souls with Thornbite Staff gives us all the targets we need for Priest of Forgotten Gods to get infinite damage, mana, creature sac, ect. Possibly will drop Ayli since she is so good and her alt in the maybeboard lets us go infinite mana. ;

Ultimately, I think the group kill spells may actually be holding back the rest of these combos, and could be replaced with more draw, and tutors. Currently some strong choices in the Maybeboard. EDIT: I have dropped Debt to the Deathless to focus the deck.

Other cards I may drop include Eon hub and Glacial Chasm. Its a cute protector but I want to see how well it ends up being used in my local meta. EDIT: I have sideboarded these for a rainy day.

Naturally either swapping existing tutors for Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor to lower CMC or simply replacing other cards for more search effects.

Nirkana Revenant since its a big slow guy, might put Doubling Cube back in since its a bit cheaper and more effective unless I decide I need a huge shroud haste swampwalk beater.

Ashen Rider could become Thought-Knot Seer since it lets me hurt the threatening players and play politics without being such a big jerk with the perm destruction, also lower CMC for the bonus. EDIT: Done.

Electropotence is fun, but why kill specific creatures when we can just try to win the game, not sure what to replace it with.

Champion of Stray Souls and Angel of Serenity are pretty high in the CMC, and if I want to become more competitive I may need to find cheaper cards depending on local meta EDIT: They have been sideboarded.

Picking up an enchantment tutor like Academy Rector might be smart.

Since I'm quite high on enchantments using Sphere of Safety for a pillow fort could work EDIT: Ultimately I chose Ghostly Prison for the same job.

Land Tax is a strictly better Thaumatic Compass   unless you really want the protection from the flip EDIT: This change has been implemented.

I've also re-added Arguel's Blood Fast   for card draw and a safety net for late game, also replaced is Angel of Serenity for Avatar of Woe even without the mana reduction its a CMC improvement, and with things like Anger giving her haste her ability has the power to change things fast, she also works better with the rest of the deck.

EDIT: The deck still feels incredibly unfocused. I don't think I can run Beacon of Immortality + Tainted Remedy Especially since there is plenty of life gain in the deck already. I also think Black Sun's Zenith Darksteel Mutation Electropotence must go. I'm in dire need of more land and tutor, possibly ramp. Bauble could become Mardu Banner since other stuff yanks my basic lands out so quickly.

I think I should consolidate anything that may fit in two slots, to get a better idea of how to improve my deck.

This is still a new deck and all my ordered cards aren't even in yet, so many changes in the future may happen. I'm open to suggestions, if you don't mind giving a plus one if you like the deck so I can get some visibility I'd appreciate it. Otherwise let me know what you dislike.
