Preface: I would totally love to discuss choices, options, and strategies a plenty! So post away, and I promise to answer within a day!

The core ideas of the deck are A) get as many Gonti triggers as possible, and B) make a boat load of mana.

To accomplish A, we will: Sac Gonti, bounce Gonti, clone Gonti, copy Gonti's trigger, and let Gonti go to the graveyard to reanimate him.

Since we are aiming to abuse triggers as much as possible, many of the rest of the creatures have very strong ETB effects, such as Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Massacre Wurm, Myr Battlesphere, and Rune-Scarred Demon.

Combos present:

Anvil of Bogardan+Chains of Mephistopheles:

This creates a soft lock, where each draw step players will draw two cards and discard two cards. Both halves are solid on their own - Anvil giving a discard outlet to reanimate dudes, and Chains is very similar to Leovold/Spirit of the Labyrinth. Also, Gonti gives us a psuedo hand from what he exiles.

Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Myr Battlesphere or Abhorrent Overlord or Wurmcoil Engine :

Infinite mana and infinite tokens. Sac a token, Sac the token maker, use that 4 mana to pay for Nim Deathmantle's trigger. Again, each card is very solid on it's own in this deck.

Paradox Engine + Erratic Portal + Mana Rocks + a creature of yours:

Infinite casts of the said creature. Gilded Lotus or Fellwar Stone will be necessary for those with black mana symbols.

Corpse Dance + Paradox Engine + Sac Outlet + mana rocks:

Infinite ETB & LTB triggers, potentially infinite mana.

Exsanguinate + A boatload of mana:

Wins games with a boat load of mana, which is a major focus of the deck.

mikeaus, the unhallowed+Triskelion: Self explanitory

Combo's considered, but not present:

Necrotic Ooze Combo:

Perhaps if we go more graveyard heavy and add other support options like Buried Alive, Entomb. Note - build on 06Oct17 total deck CMC = 220.

A few single card discussions

Vedelken OrreryAdds extra mindgames and surprises for what you stole with Gonti.

Praetor's GraspPrimary purpose is to grab the second half of someone's combo after you nabbed the first with Gonti.

Sword of Feast and FamineThis is purely there as a mana boost - untapping your swamps that probably tap for 2 or more mana each.

Changes:- Blade of Selves - Sign in blood- Abhorrent Overlord- Noxious Gearhulk - Altar of Dementia - Puppeteer Clique- Expedition Map- Geth, Lord of the Vault- 1 Snow-Covered Swamp+ Sensei's Divining Top+ Soldevi Adnate+ Marionette Master + Phyrexian Altar+ Dark Confidant+ Diabolic Intent+ Dance of the Dead+ Thought-Knot Seer+ Bloodgift Demon

(Refer to notepad scribbles and transfer here)

  • Whip of Erebos

  • Phyrexian Reclamation

Not keen on the exile, or the 8 mana that it takes to get the first effect. PR is ONE MANA! Much more flexible and pseudo draw

  • Vedalken Orrery

  • Unstable Obelisk

  • Karn Liberated

  • Basalt Monolith

Each slot needs to be powerful and worthwhile. Also trying to reduce my artifact count.

Cut Caged Sun

Added Mindstone

I've had trouble 'getting off the ground' a few times. Caged Sun at 6 arrives too late in the game for what we want it for.

Cut Voltaic Key

Add Skullclamp

Stole one from an opponent tonight, turns out its a great way to test things out! I wanted to add more draw, and thongs want to die anyway, not to mention the multiple sac outlets we run and dudes that make multiple creatures.
