Wow man...this is a,stupid cool deck, I love the combos, I see you have blood artist, here's a,good combo I think would work Blood Artist + Ashnod's Altar + Bog Initiate + Relentless Dead

Also heads up, your mana combos involving Grinning Ignus don't make infinite, they just allow you to filter red into colorless. If you had a Prismite or something similar out, then you could do it infinitely (except your Molten Echoes example would require even more setup to work, e.g. Prismite + Ashnod's Altar).

There's always Mana Echoes for easy big mana. Could pour it into a Goblin Offensive, Gemstone Array, Spawning Bed, etc

SueMe on Hogaak: My Favorite (Infinite) Combo Deck

Yo v1ns4n1ty!

Yeah this deck definitely has got some punch. I considered taking the Phyrexian Altar out for a couple of games, because things were getting a little out of hand with my playgroup. I figured I'd try just going for the Pitiless Plunderer and the Ashnod's Altar instead, but then the whole pandemic thing started, so....

The discard outlets are definitely underrated for Hogaak, so I'm glad you found that part useful!

Interesting. Thought Gorger is another one of those cards I've never seen before. It can be risky if you often find yourself having something you really want to keep in your hand, but I suppose that there will be situations when it'll be powerful. The idea is interesting, but it really needs a sacrifice outlet to work. And if I already have the Greater Good out, then I'll be already winning by drawing a lot of cards.

It might be an interesting piece of tech in my Marchesa, the Black Rose deck, which has a lot of sac-outlets. I can imagine just cycling away a whole bunch of hands each turn cycle....

Thanks for stopping by, and giving me some ideas! I really do appreciate.

This deck is great! I have been refining a Korvold, Fae-Cursed King land and creature sac deck, and this has given me some ideas.

For land recursion, I recommend Splendid Reclamation. With Ayula's Influence and Ashnod's Altar, I had 38 mana turn 7. It can really turn things around. For sacrificing lands, I like God-Eternal Bontu. It gives quite a bit of card advantage, and having a Korvold or Gitrog will double that.

No, you can't respond to Ashnod's Altar's ability because it's a mana ability. Mana abilities don't use the stack and resolve immediately. Whoever had priority to take an action when a mana ability was first activated/triggered has priority again after it resolves, and no one can make any responses.

Yes, that works. The Stinkweed Imp will die as part of the cost for Ashnod's Altar and goes to the graveyard. This triggers Grim Haruspex. Once the trigger resolves, you may Dredge provided the Imp hasn't been removed from your graveyard.

Hi! If I have Ashnod's Altar, Grim Haruspex and Stinkweed Imp and I sac the Imp to the Altar, can I replace the draw trigger of the Haruspex with the dredge of the Imp? If this words, I could play the Imp for just 1 black mana and do it again. Thanks!
