Squeeky Paradox

Standard BRG (Jund)

G00DSP33D


Sideboard

Creature (3)


Gentry combo deck built around Paradox Engine, which untaps non-land permanents when casting spells.

The combo uses either Oathsworn Vampire or Squee, the Immortal which both can be cast from the graveyard. The combo is slight more difficult to achieve with Oathsworn Vampire that requires you to have gained life during the turn you want to cast it from the graveyard.

Depending on the cards you've got to work with, here are the possible combos that you can pull off.
