Concept

Inspired by Food Chain Prossh, Korvold Demon Chain is a Jund midrange combo deck that is able to grind better from the command zone.

While the deck is focused on finding and executing combo lines ASAP, several land recursion synergy cards and the demon reanimator plan are included to give the deck threat density.

Combo Lines

Food Chain + Squee, the Immortal + Korvold, Fae-Cursed King -> draw deck -> Goblin Bombardment / Mayhem Devil

Dockside Extortionist + Temur Sabertooth (w/ 5 artifacts and enchants from opponents) + Korvold, Fae-Cursed King -> draw deck -> Finale of Devastation / Mayhem Devil or Goblin Bombardment + Squee, the Immortal

Entomb / Buried Alive / Survival of the Fittest / Final Parting + Reanimate / Animate Dead / Necromancy -> Razaketh, the Foulblooded or Vilis, Broker of Blood s

Theory and Strategy

The two most efficient ways to go infinite are through Dockside Extortionist + Temur Sabertooth or Food Chain + Squee, the Immortal . The deck is littered with ways to match them together, allowing you to draw your whole deck and produce infinite mana.

The layering begins with Entomb , Buried Alive , and Survival of the Fittest for Squee, the Immortal , enabling the Food Chain combo and drawing the entire deck.

These cards also lend themselves to binning Razaketh, the Foulblooded , which can be used to assemble multiple combo pieces and is a non-risk way of trying putting up a game-ending threat, forcing action from opponents. A common thing to do with Razaketh is to find Dockside Extortionist to net mana, followed by Life // Death to produce additional bodies, leading to additional tutors for remaining combo pieces. You can sacrifice Dockside to Raza and reanimate him to net more mana as well.

There are three primary outlets to this deck: Mayhem Devil, Goblin Bombardment, and Finale of Devastation. Note that Finale only works with the Dock Cat infinite. . The goal is to find and execute one of the above combos as soon as possible. The midrange aspect of the deck allows you to jam combos over and over again with little risk - try with Raza, try Food Chain, try again with Dockside Cat.

The best land recursion spells have been included to make good use of Korvold's super Phyrexian Arena ability, allowing you to grind comfortably (and even beat face at a decent rate while you do it).

Note that there is much tension with the lifetotal with this deck - be careful with reanimation, Ad Nauseam, Vilis, Razaketh, and Fire Covenant.
