Mini Primer

Playstyle

This deck is my attempt to play a more CEDH style of deck, its not exactly CEDH but close. The decks look to pull off an infinite combo using Worldgorger Dragon and one of the reanimte enchantments like Animate Dead. This results in bouncing the entire board over and over again. In between bounces, at instant speed you can tap your mana each time gaining infinite mana and also trigger any ETB effects infinite times. Anje Falkenrath is perfect as the commander, she allows you to dig through your deck really fast. The goal is to get Anje down asap and start turning through your deck, tapping her to discard a madness card which untaps her, then rinse and repeat until you have your combo ready to execute. Try to hold off playing the combo until you have atleast 1 piece of protection like Imp's Mischief or Pyroblast. Also make sure you read the madness cards, some are useful to actually cast not just discard.

Opening Hand

This decks opening hand is pretty straight forward, you want as much ramp as possible while still having a few madness cards to start turning through your deck. Keep a hand with 2-3 lands, 1-2 pieces of ramp and the rest madness cards. This will usually get Anje down turn 2 and start turning through the deck fast. Also look to keep hands that already have 1 piece of the combo, a tutor, or a piece of protection. Never keep a hand without madness cards unless you could potentially throw down Necropotence turn 1 with a swamp and Dark Ritual in hand.

Combos and Synergies

Below are the different combos in this deck that can win you the game and how to execute them.

• Animate Dead + Worldgorger Dragon plus and outlet like Comet Storm.

Step one is to get Worldgorger Dragon into the graveyard by using Anje or Entomb. Then cast Animate Dead or another reanimation enchantment trageting Worldgorger Dragon. When it enters the battlefield Worldgorger will exile all permanents but itself, since this included Animate dead or the like Worldgorger will then be sent back to the yard. All the permanents exiled will come back into play, untapped, including the Animate dead. Target the Worldgorger Dragon again but in response to this tap all your mana and also tap Anje to discard and draw a card. Then when the Animate dead resolves the loop will repeat, this will net you infinite mana and draw your entire deck. With your infinite mana cast you can cast Comet Storm or Avacyn's Judgment to kill the board. Infinite ETB's work to like with Sunscorched Desert or Bloodhall Priest if you have an empty hand. To stop the loop just target another creature in your yard.

There is also a Doomsday combo in the deck. Cast Doomsday with Anje on the board and after casting doomsday have atleast 3 mana open with a minimum of 1 red and 1 black mana and 2 cards in hand. The pile should be; in order from bottom to top, 1) Faithless Looting 2) Worldgorger Dragon 3) Animate Dead 4) Comet Storm / Avacyn's Judgment 5) Deflecting Swat

Draw faithless looting using Anje's ability and discard one of your other cards, cast it drawing Worldgorger and Animate dead, discard Worldgorger and your other card, cast animate dead with your remaining mana. This starts the loop and then use anje to draw comet storm or the like and you win. The last card can be portection of some sort, I like Imp's Mischief personally, so if someone tries to stop you in response you can draw you last card and redirect it.

How to Win

This panel is basically as above, turn through the deck until you can play one of the combos above.
