Win Cons (2)
Maybeboard
Sek’kuar, Deathkeeper
The reason I chose to build around this maniac, is because he cares about death triggers, and gives us more bodies to sacrifice, I was torn between running him, or Korvold, Fae-Cursed King but I settled with Old Sekky Boy because he helps attribute to the combos in the deck. Korvold is in the 99 and can win the game for us, but Sek gives us more of chance to win through lots of different avenues.
How we win
The deck is built to control the board state and then combo off. We can win via combat damage, if we can get Korvold, Fae-Cursed King big enough, or a big enough army of Dragons and Zombies.
Ashnod's Altar &/or Phyrexian Altar
Sacrifice Squee, the Immortal to Ashnod's Altar floating This will trigger all of the other pieces at the same time, so we get
- A treasure token
- A graveborn
- An eldrazi spawn
Sacrifice the two creature tokens to Ashnod's Altar, we now have floating and 3 treasure tokens, sacrifice two of the treasure tokens to float and use one of the floating colourless to recast Squee, the Immortal. Now we’re back where we started but we have a total of one treasure and This creates infinite mana and infinite death triggers.
Sacrifice Nether Traitor to the altar, floating and creating a treasure, sacrifice Gravecrawler doing the same. Gravecrawler hits this yard, pay to return Nether Traitor to play then cast Gravecrawler from the yard, this nets infinite treasure or just creates an infinite death trigger loop without the plunderer.
Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat will drain our opponents in one turn to win the game. We can also gain massive amounts of advantage with card draw, running several Grim Haruspex effects, we could draw up to 5 cards per death trigger, if they’re all on board. We can also board wipe with Dictate of Erebos effects.
Game play
So I finally built this in paper, I’m missing a few cards at the moment but have replaced them with budget options.
I’ll list below the details of each game, so you can get an idea of how the deck runs.
Ramped our turn 2 with Sakura-Tribe Elder getting a land ahead.
Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper by turn 4, with Field of the Dead netting me a zombie on turn 6. Turn 8 I tutored up Gravecrawler then turn 9 cast Liliana, Dreadhorde General, Phyrexian Altar and Gravecrawler created and infinite sacrifice loop by netting 1 mana of any colour each time I sacrificed the graveborn created by Sek’kuar. Dig down my deck til I could cast dicatate of erebos to wipe the board and then Zulaport Cutthroat before Bedevil on lilli to stop me from decking myself and then looping out the sac to drain of everyone.
-1-1 counters deck, Tuvasa the Sunlit and Meren of Clan Nel Toth decks. There was a lot of graveyard shenanigans a-foot!
Unfortunately for Tuvasa, she didn’t get and did nothing all game apart from swords to plowsharesing a Carnifex Demon.
The game went on for about 50 minutes, with Meren and my deck really affecting the board the most. Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper was removed about 4 times so I ended up winning with him in the command zone.
I did get dangerously low, when an Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted hit the board whilst Korvold, Fae-Cursed King was in play, but I managed to sacrifice enough stuff to draw into Judith, the Scourge Diva to then sacrifice more stuff to deal with the planeswalker, but I ended up on about 12 life in the process.
I then closed the game out with an engine of Judith, the Scourge Diva, (currently standing in until I can get hold of Purphoros), Impact Tremors, Pitiless Plunderer & Korvold, Fae-Cursed King in play. I cast God-Eternal Bontu and sacrificed a bunch of left over Graveborn tokens, drew into Protean Hulk which I cast, and then immediately sacrificed to Phyrexian Tower and I tutored up:
And created an infinite sacrifice loop, saccing them to the feeder then recurring them with the treasures created. Judith and tremors pinged my opponents to death.
