This deck was first constructed 10 years ago and has grown and adjusted to work as much like a well oiled machine as possible. The deck has developed into being VERY combo heavy, but can easily win with board persistence.

The General is Balthor, the Defiled. With the ability to bring back every creature in the graveyard the second he resolves, the deck can easily and quickly become a headache for any control players.

Combos include:

Balthor/Morality Shift= put all creatures in deck on field.

Helm/Leyline= One Shot kill

Umbral Mantle/Magus= Inf Mana

Triskellion/Mikaeus= Inf Damage

And many many more synergies!

I will be adding more to the description shortly. This list has gotten me first place at countless EDH tournaments, and if you like it please leave some feedback.

Thank you.
