This deck was inspired by a good friend of mine's Kresh the Bloodbraided EDH deck - it had a similar build but splashed Red instead of blue. It played out and won in a similar way, however, and I really liked it but decided I wanted to use The Mimeoplasm instead, as he could not only provide a strong color for this type of deck, but could interact heavily with the deck's strategy. This is a combo deck built around the card Living Death. Using Phyrexian Altar, Eternal Witness, and Living Death, you can enter an infinite combo. To get there, the deck typically reanimates early to control the game using targets like Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur and Terastodon and attempts to fill its own graveyard until it can combo off. When the combo happens, it either kills everybody by sacrificing and reanimating Kokushu, the Evening Star infinitely or using permanent destruction with cards like Terastodon or Woodfall Primus to set all the opponents very far behind. It has two dredge cards, Life from the Loam and Golgari Grave-Troll. Life from the Loam is usually abused with cantrips/draw outlets like Greater Good and the Grave-Troll is usually used in conjunction with Fauna Shaman and Survival of the Fittest. With cards like Greater Good and Fecundity, it can draw most of the deck and reach its goals this way and utilizes multiple cantrips and card draw spells such as Ponder and Windfall. Ramp spells, mana dorks, and mana rocks are important to accelerate the deck's game plan. Two counterspells: Pact of Negation and Remand. Pact is good for countering other counters/sources of interruption for when you draw 50-75% of your deck and are attempting to combo off and Remand is good for interrupting other combos/threats. Living Death is usually the end goal, so protecting that card, Phyrexian Altar, and Eternal Witness is the main plan and there are multiple tutors to help search out these key pieces. The deck can also rely on brute force using reanimated creatures if the initial plan doesn't succeed. It can also fall back on its general as a reanimation spell as well as a large creature that can occasionally attack opponents for the lethal 21 points of Commander damage. That being said, protecting the graveyard is highly important, and the major flaw of the deck is that it is highly susceptible to graveyard hate. Anyways, I really enjoy this deck and it was the first EDH deck I put a lot of time and effort (and money) into. It's probably my favorite EDH deck that I play, as well. That's about it!
