Ramp, Control & Infinite Out of Nowhere!

Have you been looking for a deck that has always something to do, has great removals, can win fast and still survive long games? Look no further, with this deck you can do all that and more!

How to Play

Early Game:

• Play ramps

• Use tutors to get the combo pieces you need

Mid Game:

• Play Meren of Clan Nel Toth to get more value out of your early game creatures and start gaining experience counters.

• Control the board with removals

• Use tutors to get the combo pieces you need

Finishing the Game:

• Evaluate the situation: are opponents able to break your combo/Should you wait for Contamination

• Play the combo OR wait for a better opportunity

Combos

• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion is the easiest game winning combo but also the easiest to interrupt. Can be fetched with Tooth and Nail or Buried Alive combined with some recursion like Victimize.

• Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle combo allows you to return any creature infinitely if it has persist/undying or comes with at least one token. Add Mikaeus, the Unhallowed for undying or Pawn of Ulamog for a token to get infinite ETB/LTB triggers from any creature!

Strengths and Weaknesses

+Exile is the only removal that really works against this deck, graveyard being an extension of your hand

+Meren gives so much value for your creatures being able to return them into the battlefield over and over again

-Graveyard hate really hurts this deck and blocks all the infinite combos

-Other players won't like you anymore

Sideboard

Anti-Mill: Rise of the Dark Realms.

Anti-Planeswalkers: Thief of Blood.
