A semi-budget combo deck to win against my cut-throat playgroup because my casual decks can't cut it anymore.
Combo I – 2 cards
- Peer into the abyss
- Ob Nixilis, The Hate-Twisted/Underworld Dreams
Cast Peer into the Abyss targeting an opponent
That player loses half their life and draws half their deck
They are then dealt damage by Underworld Dreams or Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted equal to the amount of cards they drew
That player loses the game
Combo B - Top Deck Combo - 3 cards
- Aetherflux Reservoir/Tendrils of Agony in hand
- Bolas's Citadel
- Sensei's Divining Top
First we have Aetherflux Reservoir and Bolas's Citadel on the battlefield. Leave 4 mana up if using Tendrils.
As we cast Sensei's Divining Top, we tap it to draw a card, and put Sensei put on top-deck. We recast Sensei's Top with Bolas's Citadel repeatly, then drain out our opponents with Tendrils of Agony or Aetherflux Reservoir.
This is not infinite. Beware of decking out.
Combo G 3 cards
