Hello everyone! This is definitely one of my most favorite decks to play, it is super fun and combos off quite nicely.

Main goal of course is to get a Nest of Scarabs out turn 3, following a Soulstinger turn 4. Turn 5 drop a Channeler Initiate or Exemplar of Strength on your Soulstinger and combo with Supernatural Stamina for 10 tokens.

Supernatural Stamina also works very well with Obelisk Spider, the Initiates, and Exemplars to make tokens

Ammit Eternal and Obelisk Spider are quite the team. Squeeze a little bit of damage out of the eternal and 1-2 triggers from the spider

I recently added Bontu, he really is a great addition to this deck and I haven't seen any other nest decks run him. Sac a token, scry, you get another life gain/drain, and he's a fantastic attacker/blocker.

Ambuscade is here mainly to give to a death touch token, but works good with Obelisk Spider as well

Thinking if I brought this deck to a FNM I would splash blue with 4 Negates. Thoughts?
