---

This is an all-in glass cannon combo deck, that wants to win by turn 4-5, if your opponents do not interact with you.

I wanted to build a combo that can win once Razaketh is on the battlefield, with access to no mana, but to pull it off, youll need to have three other creatures on the battlefield (excluding Razaketh) fourth swamps, and a healthy life total. You should be aiming o play Razaketh on turn 4-5, and from there the combo line begins.

Tutor path

step_1

The first step is to sac one of the three creatures to Razaketh, then find and play Lotus Petal. It's a more reliable option than chrmoe mox not to mention cheaper.

afterwords, sacrifice the second creature to find Rain of Filth, but to make the deck as sturdy as possible, do not cast it yet.

The final step, for step one is to sacrifice the final creature and find Weaponcraft Enthusiast. Use the lotus petal to cast rain of filth and sacrifice three lands, then cast the enthusiast choosing to make the servos, giving you three more creatures to sac to Razaketh.

step_2

Sacrifice a servo to find Dark Ritual.

Sacrifice a servo to find Carnival of Souls, this is the first of our combo pieces.

Then sacrifice the enthusiast to find Reanimate.

Sacrifice your final land using rain of filth, and cast dark ritual, you now have three mana in your mana pool. Use two of that mana to cast the carnival, and finally (with your last mana) cast reanimate on the enthusiast, once more making the tokens. You will loose three life, and gain three mana off the carnival.

step_3

This is where you can generate the combo. You will either need three mana, three creatures and Carnival of Souls on the battlefield, or five mana and four creatures.

Firstly, sacrifice a servo to find Gravecrawler, and play it. We will still have three mana in our mana pool thanks to the carnival.

Secondly, sacrifice a servo to find any one mana zombie, this deck has access to Carrion Feeder, Festering Goblin and Festering Mummy. Play the zombie, you will still have three mana in your mana pool.

Were almost there, you need to sacrifice the enthusiast, to find and cast Phyrexian Altar with the final three mana you have. Now you effectively have infinite mana.

Sacrifice the gravecrawler to find either Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat, and you do have infinite mana.

step_4

Step four is very customisable, you can practically win in any combo black has to offer. Or you can just kill your opponents with infinite damage from the combo. Personally, in not a big fan of kill people with an infinite combo, like Sanguine Bond / Exquisite Blood, or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed with Walking Ballista or Triskelion with a sac outlet, so I decided to go with a janky method.

Firstly, find Platinum Angel, and play it.

After that find Hatred

finally find Repay in Kind

Cast hatred targeting anything, but pay all your life. The angle will keep you alive. Then cast repay in kind, and everyone will die. But, they will be less angry, because you did not kill them with an infinite combo, instead you use the infinite combo to help you kill them.

how does the combo work?

The combo can generate infinite mana, gain infinite life, deal infinite damage and it also allows us to sacrifice a creature an infinite number of times. Meaning, once the combo is built with Razaketh, you can play any win-con you want, and the infinite combo, can just be used to kill your opponents by itself, if you have the time. Heres how it works.

Sacrifice Gravecrawler to Phyrexian Altar adding a black mana to your mana pool. You will gain one life and deal one damage to a player because of either Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat. Then, because you have another zombie on the battlefield (to Carrion Feeder, Festering Goblin and Festering Mummy) you can replay Gravecrawler with the mana you gain from the altar. When the Gravecrawler enters the battlefield, you lose a life and gain one mana from Carnival of Souls, you can then repeat this process an infinite number of times. You gain one mana each cycle, you loose one life each cycle, gain a life each cycle, and deal one damage each cycle. Once you have achieved infinite mana you can sacrifice Gravecrawler to Razaketh and replay him an infinite number of times.

At the moment, in happy with how strong the combo is however, in order to win with access to no mana is quite painful on your life total, so Im very open to suggestions on how to improve that aspect of the combo, and anything else you can see is missing/ could be improved.
