PLEASE NOTE: This deck was built with MtGO prices in mind for budget!

This is a more casual non-linear graveyard based combo deck. I deliberately removed a lot of tutors and counter spells because I wanted this to be more casual friendly. That being said, it can be a nightmare for your opponents to deal with if they don’t play with lots of graveyard hate.

The main combos are the untap creatures and double activated ability cards to use Araumi’s ability multiple times in a single turn. The super fast OTK is using Tree of Perdition+Gray Merchant of Asphodel to kill all opponents at once. Naturally a 2 card combo is normally frowned upon in most play groups, however I like using cards that don’t see lots of multiplayer play, like the tree, and use them in very powerful ways.

Another combo is Ambuscade Shaman+Sower of Discord to do massive amounts of damage to your opponents if they make their mark.

Other than those, the deck does well in the removal department against tokens with things like Massacre Girl,Massacre Wurm, and Netherborn Phalanx to clear boards and/or do massive damage. The deck can also deal with go tall strategies with all of the sacrifice etbs.

There are a couple cute things the deck can do as well with things like Gilded Drake & Agent of Treachery in stealing creatures. It was going to be a main theme, but I cut most of them to make room for more removal as it seemed more prevalent. Otherwise I would have included Thalakos Deceiver, Djinn of Infinite Deceits, & Willbender as basic examples.

All in all I think this deck can go very streamlined (and boring), by just playing 10 combo win cards, 10 ramp, 20 counter spells (or counter spell-esque cards), and about 15 tutors. I prefer making casual competitive toolbox lists and I hope if you build this (which I did try to make as budget (for MtGO in specific) as possible, that you enjoy playing it and if you have any suggestions that are spicy (I did narrow this from 516 cards, on 92 pages on gatherer) I would love to read them.

Thanks for reading, and if you liked this give it a +1!
