Objective
This is a casual deck aimming to:
1) Abuse Araumi of the Dead Tide 's Encore ability; or
2) Use good old reanimation spells...
...to bring back the dead and drown our opponents in their ghastly tides, leaving us victorious when the waves subside!
This is a combo-lite version to keep the deck casual and fun to play with and against. I've also excluded hand destruction cards, which are considered "unfun" for some playgroups.
I'm personally not a fan of self mill and Thassa's Oracle lines so I've excluded popular cards like card:Vizier of the Tumbling Sands, Fatestitcher and the likes.
Combo
1) Corpse Dance with Buyback + Peregrine Drake + Phyrexian Tower / Phyrexian Altar / Ashnod's Altar = Infinite Mana.
Once we have infinite mana, we can reanimate all creatures in our graveyard with Corpse Dance and prepare for an Alpha Strike. We can also repeatedly loop one of the creatures (by reanimating the creature with Corpse Dance and sacrificing it to the sacrifice outlet above) with "Enter the Battlefield" or "Leave Play" effects for the win.
a) Agent of Treachery - Gain control of all creatures on the battlefield!
b) Archaeomancer - Return all instants and sorceries in the graveyard to your hand!
c) Grave Titan / Wurmcoil Engine - Infinite tokens!
d) Fleshbag Marauder / Plaguecrafter / Shriekmaw = Wipe out all your opponents' creatures and/or planeswalker!
e) Gray Merchant of Asphodel / Kokusho, the Evening Star / Vindictive Lich = Instant win, nuff said!
f) Mulldrifter / Solemn Simulacrum = Draw as many cards as you like!
g) Solemn Simulacrum = Flood our battlefield with all the basic lands in our deck!
2) Corpse Dance + Grave Titan + Phyrexian Altar + Ashnod's Altar = Infinite creatures ETB/LTB, a difficult combo to pull off as it requires at least 5 cards in play/graveyard. Works well with Blood Artist and gang (which I did not include in this deck).
Synergy
1) Minamo, School at Water's Edge + Mesmeric Orb = Mill yourself for each spent.
2) Encoring Doomed Necromancer and paying allows us to bring back 3 creatures from our graveyards permanently. We can do so with Phyrexian Delver as well if we're willing to take some pain.
3) Final Parting allows us to fetch the reanimation spell (e.g. Animate Dead , Reanimate ) to hand and put the reanimation target into the graveyard.
