Concept: Creatures can't attack once the combo makes it out. Burn off opponent's creatures until you can get the combo out. Once the combo is out, burn opponent for the win.

Main Combo: Ensnaring Bridge and Grafted Skullcap . Creatures can't attack. Burn away.

Sideboard: Dragon's Claw for burn/aggro decks. Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre for mill decks. Viashino Sandstalker if opponent has lots of player hexproof cards (burn the creatures, attack with the Viashino Sandstalker ). Ancient Grudge for artifact destruction with flashback. Price of Progress for its obvious goodness against legacy dual-land madness. Sulfuric Vortex to prevent life-gain and lead to quicker opponent loss.

Other: Looking for comments and input on this deck concept. Think it will work? Anything you recommend on amending? Would appreciate to hear you out. Keeping this deck standard, post-rotation.

Playing Tips: If you don't draw an Ensnaring Bridge or a Grafted Skullcap in your starting hand, take at least one mulligan. The mulligan won't hurt you very bad and it increases your chances of getting the combo and getting it out early.
