My Grandfather's deck has no pathetic cards!

Power Level 7 - $5k-$20k depending on if you count black lotus

My Grandfather's deck is comprised of an Approach of the Second Sun and 26 two card win combos. None of which interact with one another. The cards are bad. The tempo is clunky. There is no search. You must use the heart of the cards to win Yugi!

Garth One-Eye allows you to cast his cards at instant speed so you'll typically wait until prior end to tap him. Use Braingeyser and Regrowth to find your combos.

Given the nature of the deck there are some rules you should hold yourself to out of courtesy to the other players.

(1) Always announce your win combos before you play them. It's not fair or expeditious to expect every player to read and understand the implications of every card you play.

(2) If you play a win combo before turn 6:

Announce it,

Ask for players not to scoop and respond if they can,

If no player can respond, concede the game knowing the heart of the cards is with you.

1. Acererak the Archlich + Rooftop Storm
2. Aggravated Assault + Savage Ventmaw
3. Astral Dragon + Cursed Mirror
4. Archangel of Thune + Spike Feeder

6. Blazing Sunsteel + Brash Taunter

10. Dauthi Voidwalker + Helm of Obedience
11. Decree of Silence + Solemnity
12. Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame
13. Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank
14. Eater of the Dead + Phenax, God of Deception

23. Pestermite + Splinter Twin

25. Selvala, Explorer Returned + Tolarian Kraken
26. Thopter Assembly + Time Sieve

(Not infinite) (Solemnity/Thespian's Stage) + Dark Depths

Considering:

• Curiosity + Glint-Horn Buccaneer only at cleanup step, when discarding. not worth running but funny
• Star of Extinction + Toralf, God of Fury  
• (Archon of Sun's Grace/Aura Thief) + Enchanted Evening
• Academy Ruins + Mindslaver
• Chance Encounter + Frenetic Efreet
• Vorel of the Hull Clade + Magistrate's Scepter
• Bruvac the Grandiloquent + Terisian Mindbreaker

Maybe replace:

Removed:

Blazing Sunsteel + (Ill-Tempered Loner   for Brash Taunter) just better

Exquisite Blood + (Sanguine Bond for Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose). Just better

Sekki, Seasons' Guide + Terror of the Peaks because it's not actually a wincon.

Black Carriage + Elemental Mastery interacted with Splinter Twin + Pestermite replaced Black Carriage with Grimgrin, Corpse-Born to avoid

Flameshadow Conjuring + Palinchron because of interaction with Felidar Guardian + Saheeli Rai

Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord + Phyrexian Devourer because of interaction with Near-Death Experience + Wall of Blood, Hermit Druid + Thassa's Oracle, Eater of the Dead + Phenax, God of Deception

Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell because of interaction with Selvala, Explorer Returned + Tolarian Kraken

Beacon of Immortality + False Cure because of interaction with Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond

Replaced Helm of Obedience + (Rest in Peace with Dauthi Voidwalker) because it's just better.

Was going to replace Ilharg, the Raze-Boar + (Master of Cruelties with Medomai the Ageless) for better wincon. Decided to replace Ilharg, the Raze-Boar with Satoru Umezawa. Finally replaced entirely due to not actually qualifying as a 2 card combo. (Ilharg, the Raze-Boar + Medomai the Ageless) is still a proper wincon but either piece draws tons of aggro and frequent extra turns aren't fun to play against.
