Hoschie, I only started playing about 2 months ago, so while your suggestion is appreciated and will be considered, the fuck is a suicide-zoo?

Ok now it's name is "Death Shadow" http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=14981&d=290616&f=MO

It's main card is Death's Shadow the deck wants to dmg him self to get the life under 13, now the Death's Shadow gets bigger with each point of life the controler loses. So when we turn this point around: When the player has to sacrifise a Death's Shadow to Devour Flesh he gets hin life back to 13, so you may be kill another Death's Shadow for free, because they become 0/0.

To have some Sideboard against this deck can be a good choice at ther moment, because it is one ofe the most popolardeck, at the moment

Sgt.Pickles I'm not really gonna run many creatures in this deck. The entire point is to burn our opponent by adding to our health with Sanguine Bond in play, or healing our opponent and taking health away instead with Tainted Remedy. Rhox Faithmender is in the deck to double our life gained, and thus do more damage through Sanguine Bond, and Perimeter Captain is in the deck to defend us in the early game while we set up, and gain us health at the same time.

I may consider the Sovereign, though. It should be pretty easy to accomplish with this. I'll have to think on it.

It was just a mild suggestion, as obviously the main issue with felidar is that it just... dies to anything but lightning bolt or dismember. It could be good in sideboard against some decks however...

Oh I am loving this... Gonna put a few suggestions out there, but these are coming from my B/W deck itself.

Beacon of Immortality has a really nice insta-kill effect if you have Tainted Remedy on the field. Just be warned, if in a friendly game, this will cause rage. Use with caution because it's a nuke.

Exquisite Blood if you want to add in an infinite combo... Can be really dirty to do though and cause hate as well in friendly games.

Wound Reflection might have a place do dish out double damage every turn. It helps you turn just four into eight damage and by the time you get this out there won't be many more turns after it.

Also I suggest Riot Control for the sideboard if you know the swing will kill you, hold onto three mana and then pop it, you gain some life and stay alive for another turn. That next turn can turn the game in your favor or just the spell itself can give you game.

If you want, take a look over my deck. It's a bit more creature heavy, but the same concept. Shameless plug.

Dead_Anarchy: In response to that (lol)

Both Beacon of Immortality and Exquisite Blood are way too expensive for me to include in this deck. This is...well not as budget as I usually try to make my decks, but still pretty budget. Truth be told, so is Wound Reflection. $45 is really pushing it as it is. I was pretty hesitant about adding in the Rhox Faithmender because of it's price, and Sanguine Bond was pushing the limit of what I'm willing to spend per card.

If (or when) I remake this deck for online play, it'll likely contain either the Beacon, or Exquisite, or both, though honestly I dislike the idea of an 'infinite' combo. I'd honestly rather the Beacon than Exquisite, for that reason.

In short, I'm aware of the combos you mentioned, I just can't justify the price.

octopimp could have sworn I +1ed earlier, but yea I noticed while browsing other decks. Never hurts to throw them out though, but yea I understand the budget thing and the hate of infinite combos.

Still a great deck without them and these decks are enjoyable to me... Something about them is great.

Thanks for the votes! And yeah, infinite combos just feel...way too cheap. If you're gonna win, at least work for it a little.

@Sgt.Pickles That cheap in MTGO? Hmm. I looked into it but I don't feel like paying ten bucks for something that Cockatrice does for free. Still neat though!

Hoschie I've literally never seen that deck, either at FNM or just casual play at my LGS. My area does have a problem with infinite decks though, or just shenanigans. But thank you for your suggestion! I actually kind of sort of forgot you commented, sorry it took so long!
