Please leave any tips/ suggestion. Thanks for reading. I began brewing this deck a little bit ago. I am still working on it and always adding new potential cards to the pool. Right now I have a rough draft of what cards I wanna add. (Being over 100 cards I'm having a hard time cutting cards out.) I know what combos I want to play and this is my idea. Inspired by my friends deck from high school that he pulled out while we where just playing some games. He called it his Nekron deck. The basis of it is to have creatures with persist. (Keep in mind we where in HS and this was almost 10 years ago.) The main main combo is, have Solemnity out. From attacking with Zur the Enchanter (Zur is the commander just fyi) or just hard cast it. After Reanimate Puppeteer Clique or cast. Last have out Altar of Dementia . The combo leads into many other possible win cons as well. Having a Phyrexian Altar will net you infinite mana. Having a Glen Elendra Archmage will net protection and the mana to use it even if tapped out. (Just sac the Glen Elendra Archmage to Phyrexian Altar adding blue to the mana pool , with Solemnity out Glen Elendra Archmage just comes back with no counter. Sac again and use the blue mana to counter a spell. You can also just mill yourself and win with using Laboratory Maniac and drawing a card. There is also infinite damage with two different cards using , Blood Artist or Geralf's Messenger . The deck can win many ways. It has more but those are the main plans it wants to do. I am trying to make this as unique as possible and as competitive as possible.
