An attempt at harnessing the amazing power of Syr Konrad who works stupid well with Ashiok.
Blood for Bones
allows you to fetch back creatures that you have milled into the graveyard, which allows for recursion with
Murderous Rider
,
Spark Double
,
Merfolk Secretkeeper
, and
Plaguecrafter
.
Spark Double allows you to have two
Syr Konrad, the Grim
,
Emry, Lurker of the Loch
, or
Ashiok, Dream Render
's out at once. Emry is probably the one you want to double the least, but it makes it so if you don't have your card:Cauldron of Eternity out yet, the opponent might need to waste two kill spells to prevent it, and if you've not milled it, that just means that the Cauldron will be cheaper!
The goal of the deck is to control the board with
Thought Collapse
,
Plaguecrafter
,
Murderous Rider
, and
Thought Erasure
, while you mill both yourself and the opponent.
Your three wincons are 1) killing the opponent with the combo of
Syr Konrad, the Grim
(who is also a 5/4 and can swing) and
Ashiok, Dream Render
. The reason why this is such a powerful combo in my opinion is that Ashiok triggers Konrad twice. First when a creature goes to the graveyard, and then when that creature is exiled. So if it hits even 2 creatures, that's a free 4 damage right there, plus if this is Ashiok's first turn out and you've been diligently controlling the board, there should be a few more creatures in their graveyard that they'll be exiling.
2) Milling the opponent to death. This is the least likely outcome but it's definitely doable. Ashiok has 5 loyalty and his ability is only a -1. And he prevents tutoring, which is really just a nice bonus.
3)
Clackbridge Troll
! Possibly the most broken card in the set. If you have a Syr Konrad out, the opponent will almost certainly still sac stuff to prevent Clackbridge from swinging on them. And then when they run out of creatures, in he goes!
