Combos

some obvious Mikeaues combos Show

• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion = guess what it is

• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Puppeteer Clique / River Kelpie / Wingrattle Scarecrow + Altar of Dementia / Ashnod's Altar / Sadistic Hypnotist = mill / endless generic mana / discard opponent's hand

-> or with River Kelpie + any sacrifice card = draw. a lot.

• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Keiga, the Tide Star + any sacrifice + Grim Poppet = controool chaos

• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Rune-Scarred Demon + any sacrifice + Grim Poppet = tutor (tutuuuuur, i just drop this here)

others

• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Peregrine Drake + any sacr card + Grim Poppet / Retribution of the Ancients = untap lands

Just a few examples. You can be creative: Retribution of the Ancients and Grim Poppet allows you to move or neutralize any +1+1 counters from non-human-creatures to enable Mike's undying effect for a loop.

• Pestermite + Cauldron of Souls + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed = every creature you control gains persist with Pestermite triggered ability for sacrifice loops.

token combos Show

• Skirsdag High Priest and Intruder Alarm give you infinite 5/5 Demon tokens.

Downside is that a creature needs to die and you need two more creatures for tapping. Reason to use Skirsdag High Priest: it's cheaper if you compare it with Bloodline Keeper   ... I mean $$ cheaper.

• Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Marionette Master = infinite generic mana and myr tokens

Actually you just need a creature (attach with Nim) that produce at least 2 other tokens to sacrife them for generic mana to get this mechanic working.

• Thopter Assembly and Time Sieve = much extra turns

Recursion and Reanimation Show

• Necrotic Ooze or Body Double / Exhume or Stitch Together is a good backup if Mike or other key cards are already in your graveyard.

• Archaeomancer + Living Death / Wake the Dead + any sacr card = conrol graveyard

Hot flickering Show

• Archaeomancer + Peregrine Drake + Ghostly Flicker = mana, babey

Deadeye Navigator Show

working mechanics with Deadeye:

• Rune-Scarred Demon - 2 mana tutor recyclable

• Archaeomancer - obvious

• Peregrine Drake - obvious, too

Handmanipulation Show

• Necropotence + Ivory Tower / Venser's Journal allow you to draw without losing health

in addition... Show

• Death Wish Should be an opportunity, if an opponent has exiled a key card to bring the choosen card back.

• Sadistic Sacrament Best solution to most problems is simply to prevent them from ever happening.

• Rite of Replication + Vela the Night-Clad = damage. a lot.

I'm open minded and thankful for suggestions and improvements.
