HIT EM' WITH THE OLD RAZZLE DAZZLE

This deck aims to get Razaketh, the Foulblooded down as fast as possible with 2 creatures on the field. It's possible to make a ton of mana on the turn you cast him using Sengir Autocrat and Rain of Filth as enablers. That turn or the next turn, fetch Buried Alive pitching Necrotic Ooze, Triskelion, and Phyrexian Devourer. Tutor a reanimation spell and cast it targeting nooze. This can ping your opponents to death with Triskelion's ability. Built on a ~$150 budget, and definitely the best of the series. It usually wins turns 4-5, and the combo lines can use up to 10 pieces! If you like complicated, nonlinear combos, this deck may be for you.

Combo Lines

Each combo line has a certain number of prerequisites, be it lands, mana available, or creatures. Note than when lands are listed, they do not need to be untapped, and that creatures that return/drop a token when they die count as two creatures. Ideally we go off the turn we drop Razaketh, but the combo requires some more resources to win the turn Razzle drops. Note that if we do have to pass with Razaketh on the board, we can tutor reanimation in response to removal on him.

Changelog

9/7/17: Made several cuts for budget reasons.

-Magus of the Coffers: He was too expensive() and require a lot to go right for him to be worthwhile

-Solemn Simulacrum:Too slow.

+Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder is an option I had looked at when I first started brewing, but had dismissed as too expensive(). However, I now realize that if he is down and I cast Razaketh, the Foulblooded, I get 8 tokens, which is simply game over for my opponents.

+Initiates of the Ebon Hand is a saccable creature that can filter mana if necessary, and can pay for himself with Songs of the Damned.
