Maybeboard


A combo/value deck that looks to cheat out high-mana creatures with impactful ETBs. No creatures in the deck have a power of more than 3, making it easy for Grenzo to reliably pull them. Noncreature artifacts are limited only to the ones that best enable abuse of Grenzo's ability or protect him in order to prevent dead flips. Inspired by snowfox54119's primer.

Combo enablers

This deck primarily wins through infinite combos. There are many present in the deck, and they are primarily enabled by our dear commander Grenzo, Dungeon Warden. Necessary for our combos are sac outlets, damage outlets, and a digger loop.

Our goal is to cheat out our impactful creatures to the board using Grenzo's ability. This can be done at instant speed on the end of our opponent's turn, or in response to them doing something scary. The winning loops we are looking for typically require a token generator, a mana generator, and a damage dealer. If we can generate infinite mana with Grenzo on the board we win, perhaps through pulling Siege-Gang Commander from the bottom, sacrificing it and the tokens to Skirk Prospector, putting Siege Gang back on the bottom with Epitaph Golem, and repeating while we have Zulaport Cutthroat out for infinite damage to our opponents.

Sacrifice Outlets

Ashnod's Altar, Dimir House Guard, Sadistic Hypnotist, Sling-Gang Lieutenant, Viscera Seer, Skirk Prospector, Soldevi Adnate, Yahenni, Undying Partisan. Any creature that has 3 toughness or less and can sacrifice at instant speed (or sorcery speed for sad hyppy, but his discard effect is too good to pass up), and Ashnod's Altar because it makes going infinite off of token generators insanely easy.

Out: Rakdos Guildgate Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin Goblin Cratermaker

In: Bloodfell Caves Sol Ring Solemn Simulacrum

Swapped in a slightly better tapland, sol ring for fast mana if drawn or recurred, and solemn because it's an artifact for kuldotha, a creature we can flip, and abusing it to get all (or just most) of our lands onto the field is craaaazy. Cut krenko because while absurd numbers of goblins are great for saccing, he's just not good when anyone has defending creatures and the deck isn't built to support him. Goblin cratermaker is nice artifact and eldrazi hate, but in my meta there's not too much abuse of either.

I'm yet to win with Lightning Crafter and it feels like it doesn't have much utility outside of going infinite so it might be cut. Once I get my hands on a Dockside Extortionist he's going in immediately and I'll take out Millikin. Considering adding Goblin Engineer and Sling-Gang Lieutenant as well.
