because nothing gets done and everyone loses.
A deck designed around making the game into a tie. Here's how:
Animate Dead + Worldgorger Dragon
: initiates an infinitely repeating set of events that cannot be stopped, play cannot continue, instant tie.
this is an astoundingly fast and consistent combo. I went on a 9 game streak of turn 2 or earlier ties yesterday. its bonkers. one might even say its so good its spoopy.
Unfortunately, my playgroup seems to dislike this deck (I wonder why?) and tries to kill me every time I play it. This means I need to be able to combo off very early. so lets walk through a turn 1 "win", shall we?
t1: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Entomb targeting
Worldgorger Dragon
, Animate Dead. Boom.
mic drop
the sideboard is for if someone complains about me trying to tie every game. If there is a non-
Worldgorger Dragon
creature in the yard, you can blink lands forever for infinity bazillion mana, and that with Banefire means your opponent takes an amount of damage exactly equal to the U.S. national debt (in dollars). if they take any more or any less damage, I will be very dissapoint.
for ease of access:
The National Debt
TBH, I will probably make this a madness deck focused around surviving until I get to do the Animate Dead + Worldgorger Dragon
combo.
