This list is an adaptation of the U/R God-Pharaoh's Gift deck made by Magic Online user TombSimon and discussed by Ben Friedman on StarCityGames.com. 's a link to said article.

The deck focuses upon comboing off in one of two ways: either getting Combat Celebrant + Combat Celebrant + God-Pharaoh's Gift and generating multiple combat steps for loads of damage (with extra reanimations), or milling the enemy out with Fleet Swallower + Fraying Sanity . Cards from either combo are still helpful to the deck on their own.

I'm not particularly a Standard player, but I thought that I should draw attention to these combos, especially the second (which, to my knowledge, hasn't seen much play). Not having played Standard, I thought I'd ask for help with card choices, especially with the manabase. The sideboard is also all mine, so that also likely needs improvement.

I'm tempted to cut the remaining Bomat Couriers so that they aren't hit by Madcap Experiment.

Thanks!
