It's Time to Belzen-Rock 'n Roll!

This is my version of Playing With Power's take on the Demonlord Belzenlok combo deck. If you want to see it in action, watch Season 3, Episode 4.

The original list came from Bazzul and is called One card combo Demonlord Belzenlok. Somewhere along the line, Bazzul changed the win condition from Mike and Trike to dumping infinite mana into Syr Konrad, the Grim, but the general idea of the deck is pretty much the same: play Belzenlok, draw your entire deck, and then combo off for the win.

This combo line requires six mana and at least one opponent who controls a forest. If nobody has a forest, the line will change slightly. For these altered lines, see 3b and 4b below.

  1. Pay to cast Demonlord Belzenlok, and draw your entire deck, taking up to 27 damage

  2. Exile a black card to cast Unmask, targeting yourself, and discard Phantasmagorian

  3. Activate Phantasmagorian's ability, discarding Skirge Familiar, Dread Return, and another card, returning Phantasmagorian to your hand (3b). If none of your opponents has a forest, activate Phantasmagorian two or three times, making sure that Skirge Familiar and Dread Return are among the discarded cards

  4. Cast Hollow One and Deepwood Legate for free (4b). Cast Hollow One for free, then pay and Delve for Sibsig Muckdraggers (This will require two additional activations of Phantasmagorian)

  5. Flashback Dread Return sacrificing your three creatures to put Skirge Familiar onto the battlefield

  6. Activate Skirge Familiar five times, discarding Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Lotus Guardian, Endling, Cinderhaze Wretch, and Dread. This will leave you with

  7. Use to cast Necrotic Ooze

  8. Pay to use Skythiryx, the Blight Dragon's effect to give Necrotic Ooze Haste

  9. Use Lotus Guardian's ability to tap Necrotic Ooze for

  10. Pay to use Endling's ability to give Necrotic Ooze Undying

  11. Use Cinderhaze Wretch's ability to untap Necrotic Ooze

  12. Repeat steps 9 and 10 until Necrotic Ooze dies, adding a total of

  13. Necrotic Ooze returns to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter because it had Undying

  14. Repeat Steps 8,9, and 10, creating an infinite mana loop

  15. Once you have infinite mana, you can use Deepwood Legate, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and Endling's abilities to give Necrotic Ooze infinite +1/+1, Haste, and Undying and then use both of Cinderhaze Wretch's abilities to make your opponents discard their hands

  16. Pay to cast Syr Konrad, the Grim

  17. Use your unlimited mana to activate Syr Konrad, the Grim's ability until everyone dies

This combo line requires six mana and at least one opponent who controls a forest. If nobody has a forest, the line will change slightly. For these altered lines, see 3b and 4b below.

  1. Pay to cast Demonlord Belzenlok, and draw your entire deck, taking up to 26 damage

  2. Exile a black card to cast Unmask, targeting yourself, and discard Phantasmagorian

  3. Activate Phantasmagorian's ability, discarding Skirge Familiar, Dread Return, and another card, returning Phantasmagorian to your hand (3b). If none of your opponents has a forest, activate Phantasmagorian two or three times, making sure that Skirge Familiar and Dread Return are among the discarded cards

  4. Cast Hollow One and Deepwood Legate for free (4b). Cast Hollow One for free, then pay and Delve for Sultai Scavenger.

  5. Flashback Dread Return sacrificing your three creatures to put Skirge Familiar onto the battlefield

  6. Activate Skirge Familiar, discarding Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, Triskelion, and three or four other cards and then cast Ever After or Living Death

  7. Remove two counters from Triskelion to ping an opponent twice, and then use the third counter to ping Triskelion, killing it. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed will return Triskelion to the battlefield with an extra +1/+1 counter allowing you to repeat the process (except you now have to ping Triskelion twice) until you've killed everyone
