---

The goal of this deck is to win with Mortal Combat. Thus, most of the deck is creatures, and most of them loot or tutor.

You can also try to win with Laboratory Maniac.

To protect your wincons, I included Isochron Scepter and Counterspell, along with Paradox Engine and Veilstone Amulet.

All the ramp is from creatures too (the myrs, mostly). Paradox Engine will untap them and all your looting creatures. As long as you keep drawing cheap spells to cast and can keep your hand size at least constant (Azami, Lady of Scrolls helps with that), you can easily get through your deck, put 20 creatures in your graveyard, and cast Mortal Combat. You ought to be able to cast Isochron Scepter with Counterspell imprinted at some point too.

I also included all the black dredge cards to speed along the graveyard filling.

Meanwhile, Taigam, Sidisi's Hand throws two cards in your graveyard every turn too. If you can transform Conqueror's Galleon   into Conqueror's Foothold, you can get any card back from your graveyard too.

If all that fails, there are also several enchantments that get you things for discarding, such as Drake Haven.

Suggestions welcome!
