• Syr Konrad, the Grim AND Tainted Strike + board wipe //rule 603.6c
• Syr Konrad, the Grim + Tortured Existence + Tainted Strike

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse combos / synergies

• Peer into the Abyss to either eliminate opponent or have me draw half deck and gain a ton of life
• Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose to deal damage every turn
• Bloodchief Ascension to have counter by next turn
• Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top = draw + life (this combo also works with Aetherflux Reservoir

recently removed No Mercy Revenge of Ravens Unseal the Necropolis Phyrexian Arena Cordial Vampire Vampire Nocturnus Necropotence //good card draw, but I don't benefit from life loss and don't get cards till end step. Losing life + needing to wait a turn to use cards = dead before next turn?
