This is a full 100 card version of my Grist Oathbreaker Combo rebuilt for EDH. (because Oathbreaker is a dead format apparently ;_;) I have copied/edited the original combo description from there, it works exactly the same here just with 30 bugs instead of 17, and there are some more flexible lines possible involving Lion's Eye Diamond (banned in OB) and Skullclamp (I think I excluded clamp from the OB deck because 'free' draw effects like Conjurer's Bauble are favored in that version, digging is not as important with both combo cards in the command zone, and that 60 card list was extremely tight).
- Cast Grist, the Hunger Tide *list*
- Tutor/Cast Recross the Paths, Goblin Charbelcher
, or Abundance ((((after this, to win on the spot you will need + the ability to draw 1 card for free OR OR to win with skullclamp and LED in the pile and no extra draw. Having a combo piece in hand can make it even easier. Winning on the next turn is also very viable and the safest way to multi-turn is usually to cast Grist (or Recross first if you expect Grist to die), pass, then cast Recross and combo same turn. If you Recross first you get a free tutor because you can put any card on top and draw it for turn, but this reveals way more of your plan vs. leading on Grist.)))) - Because the deck has 'no lands,' the whole library will get revealed. As Recross the Paths says to bottom the revealed cards in ANY order, now reorder your deck with all remaining insects on top, followed by Dread Return, Songs of the Damned, Yawgmoth's Will, and then Exsanguinate. This is the most basic form of the combo. If going for the No-draw line, which seems to be the most common line, your pile will begin with Dread Return--Corrupted Conviction--Lion's Eye Diamond--Street Wraith--Skullclamp OR Dread Return--Corrupted Conviction--Mana Crypt--Skullclamp--Lion's Eye Diamond--Lotus Petal, followed by the core combo cards. You should be mindful of when/what you will be discarding to LED. You might have to get a little creative depending on the board or if certain cards ended up in your graveyard, generally you can fix this with Bala Ged Recovery
and you should actually be able to do it without any extra starting mana, just draw more rituals with clamp. Just keep in mind your pile may need to change based on the circumstances. I also like to put Goblin Charbelcher and a couple of rituals right below the combo, to serve as a backup plan. Also note that any available 'Draw 1' effects can buy you additional cards like Veil of Summer.
- Activate Grist +1, milling all your bugs and also Dread Return as the last card, making 26 or so insect tokens
- Cast Dread Return using the Grist tokens, targeting Grave-Shell Scarab
- For the + 1 draw line, use your free draw from Unbridled Growth, Street Wraith, Sensei's Divining Top. to draw Songs of the Damned. If you can only make or and not , you can still win by drawing LED with the free draw and then clamp with scarab draw. ---OR--- 6b. for the line use Grave-Shell Scarab to draw Corrupted Conviction, then cast to draw into LED and Street Wraith, rsp the Wraith with the LED, draw clamp and get , cast clamp and equip an insect to draw Songs of the Damned + Yawgmoth's Will with left in pool.
- Use your single to cast Songs of the Damned. You need give or take 25 creatures in your yard OR additional fast mana cards you can recast off Will. We'll use 25 creatures to illustrate mana in pool going forward
- You have 25 from songs. Sac Grave-Shell Scarab/use Skullclamp to draw into Yawgmoth's Will
- Cast the Yawgmoth's Will. Down to 21 mana
- Recast Songs from graveyard, -1+25 up to 45
- Even without clamp, at this point you can cast Stirge from graveyard, and activate to draw Exsanguinate. Stirge draw costs 3 so 42 mana left
- Cast Exsanguinate for lethal!
And that's the combo. You can jam this on turn 3-4 sometimes. Strike that. A lot of the time. Whenever you get 3 mana and a tutor, it's go time. If you get stopped or mess up you are backed up fairly well by a board of insect tokens, grist ult for ~30 life, and the ability to cast Recross the Paths again because you will usually win the clash by putting Turntimber Symbiosis
on top then immediately bottoming it. Goblin Charbelcher
can also gib players as a backup. The weaknesses of course are getting the combo countered, getting your graveyard removed, not finding tutors, and the manabase barely being held together by meme dreams and multiple mulligans. And if any of these things go wrong you're stuck durdling out 1/1 insects for the rest of the game and then dying.
Couple of EDITS I am currently testing: Added Corrupted Conviction to enable the clamp line with with just . Switched in Universal Automaton and Giant Adephage as new insects. Added Phyrexian Altar. Added Scheming Symmetry Dimir Machinations Cruel Tutor to max tutors. Took out the chromatics/baubles. Took out Pentad Prism. Took out Blessed Respite. Took out our mascot Deadly Insect so we can live the dream of Blister Beetleing ragavans and birds.
This deck is an utter abomination against nature. Don't play it
