This is a deck I have been tempted to do ever since I saw Festering Newt . I have just put it together on here and haven't played it or even have most of the cards yet but if it looks like it will work and be fun I probably will get it.

The idea is it themed around Witches and creatures of the bog hence the Leechridden Swamp and the Black Cat . The deck revolves around sacrificing Festering Newt using Bubbling Cauldron after giving it persist from Cauldron of Souls to activate its -4/-4 twice and also activate Blowfly Infestation . Doing so will also cause opponents to lose 4 life and give me their total in life gain while Sanguine Bond redirects that lifegain to a single player for big damage. Then once I sacrifice the Festering Newt or any other creature I bring them back with Reanimate

Also if my thinking is right and I have a Blowfly Infestation and make all opposing 1/1, 2/1 etc creatures have persist then I can kill them all as the Festering Newt will die with a -1/-1 which will put a counter on a 1/1 which will create another counter and so on until they are all dead. So theoretically one newt could kill all creatures with T1 on the board and one with T9 or less. Not bad for a 1 drop! Have I got that right?

What do you guys think? At the moment it is theoretical and I am open to suggestions or even dropping it if you think it won't work.

Persist — Nov. 27, 2014
Edit

Having used the deck several times I have found that the Persist from Cauldron of Souls with the Blowfly Infestation rarely came off. I also found that single large creatures were difficult to remove. As a result of this I have taken out Cauldron of Souls and Blowfly Infestation and replaced with 4x Corrupt and 2x Liturgy of Blood for extra removal, damage and lifegain, making even more use of Sanguine Bond, which is the card which wins me most games. I also went with Read the Bones for a bit of random draw.
