Use the power of the bestow mechanic to annoy everyone.

Ramses is kind of the back up plan. Luckily bestow works well with his ability. Just bestow an enemy creature and zap them with Ramses. When their creature dies, the bestowed creature becomes a fresh untapped creature.

Lets meet the team.

Bestow

• Baleful Eidolon 1/1 Deathtouch
• Crystalline Nautilus 4/4 illusion clause
• Erebos's Emissary 3/3 discard creature for +2/+2
• Flitterstep Eidolon 1/1 can't be blocked
• Gnarled Scarhide 2/1 can't block
• Herald of Torment 3/3 flying take 1 at upkeep
• Hypnotic Siren 1/1 flying you control enchanted creature
• Nighthowler x/x x=creatures in all graveyards
• Nimbus Naiad 2/2 flying
• Nyxborn Eidolon 2/1
• Nyxborn Triton 2/3
• Spiteful Returned 1/1 opponent loses 2 life on attack
• Thassa's Emissary 3/3 draw a card on player damage

Constellation

• Agent of Erebos exiles target players graveyard
• Doomwake Giant -1/-1 to each enemy creature
• Dreadbringer Lampads gives intimidate
• Grim Guardian each opponent loses 1 life
• Thassa's Devourer target player mills 2
• Thoughtrender Lamia each opponent discards a card
• Whitewater Naiads makes a creature unable to be blocked

Gods

• Erebos, God of the Dead opponents can't gain life and draws cards
• Phenax, God of Deception tap a creature to mill target opponent for their toughness
• Thassa, God of the Sea scry 1 at upkeep and can make a creature unable to be blocked

God Weapons

• Bident of Thassa draw cards, and make your opponents attack steps awkward. Much more of a political card than I thought
• Whip of Erebos gets creatures back in a pinch, lifelink for the gang

Draw Engines

• Monastery Siege nice modular enchantment. Can draw cards or protect you and your stuff
• Necropotence busted. Just busted
• Phyrexian Arena simple, one extra card a turn.
• Rhystic Study best draw engine. Landing it on turn 2 is just game over
• The Immortal Sun been extremely pleased with this card. Every deck should run one.

Ramp

• Burnished Hart
• Charcoal Diamond
• Chromatic Lantern
• Dimir Keyrune
• Dimir Signet
• Silumgar Monument I've really liked having access to 4/4 flier later in games. People don't give these the credit they deserve.
• Sky Diamond
• Sol Ring
• Solemn Simulacrum ramp and card draw!

Theft/Shields

Can be used to steal enemy creatures or give your guys a re-entry on death - False Demise - Unhallowed Pact - Fool's Demise

Removal

Typical UB board wipes - Black Sun's Zenith - Cyclonic Rift - Damnation - Toxic Deluge

Drain Game Plan

• Bloodchief Ascension do not drop early. Save for later. Combos nicely with Phenax
• Exquisite Blood great for keeping you at a healthy life total
• Palace Siege modular. If you have a lot of dead creatures you can get them back. Or just drain the table

Recurring Enchantments AKA Ramses Ammo

• Despondency weakens creatures -2/-0
• Launch gives flying
• Sleeper's Guile helps us get threw blockers
• Slow Motion surprisingly strong especially if they kept a sketchy hand
• Dragon Shadow+Dragon Wings can be put on enemies from your grave yard. Good for Ramses surprise kills and also multiple constellation triggers

The Rest of the non-lands

• Counterspell counter spells. ;)
• Crystal Chimes a rebuy all your deck card. Definitely need Academy Ruins now that I say that
• Demonic Tutor tutor
• Mana Drain counter a spell and get super ramped
• Mirage Mirror personally I just love this card. Things can and will get crazy
• Propaganda helps get to later turns which we like
• Swiftfoot Boots because hexproof haste
• Vampiric Tutor we draw alot of cards. Sync it up to get that draw right away

Special lands

• Barren Moor cycle
• Bojuka Bog exile graveyards
• Cabal Coffers combos with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to make stupid amounts of mana
• Cabal Pit lil extra removal
• Cephalid Coliseum and a decent draw spell
• Faerie Conclave extra flier
• Fetid Pools cycle
• Ghost Quarter kill that pesky land
• Lonely Sandbar cycle
• Minamo, School at Water's Edge has good synergy with Ramses. People miss it alot
• Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx we get quite a bit of devotion out there.
• Polluted Mire cycle
• Remote Isle cycle
• Spawning Pool extra 1/1 regenerator.
• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth helps with my mana fixing. We have alot of black pips

Well thanks for reading. Any ideas please comment. I'm all for trying new cards/combos

Thanks! Mr.Bearclaw
