@ twospires

This deck was a consistent turn 5 win when I played it. I began playing it in a multiplayer environment and after going off once or twice I got hated out of every game. It's currently in retirement.

The plan was to dredge myself with Hedron Crab and optimally the Civilized Scholar  Flip /Stinkweed Imp dredge combo until my whole library was in the graveyard and blow up the board. Once people caught on though, every players answer was saved for me. My mana base for this deck is now in deck-large:my-crabs-are-flaring-up-again...good old Solar Flare.

Thanks though! This was my baby ever since Modern was announced as a format, and it started out just using the Druid/Quillspike combo...eventually I began to like the ridiculousness of this many pieces. It's not a challenge to go infinite with Necrotic Ooze so I may as well make it one. Hopefully one day I'll decide it's worth putting it back together.

Cool combo with some nice flexibility, and the story at the beginning was a nice touch +1

You'd want something like Krosan Grip , Revoke Existence , etc. to get rid of Leyline of the Void ...

I forgot all about this beast!

Why not 4 Necrotic Ooze ? You need to him to make any of your combos work right?

Hedron Crab dredges my deck very efficiently so when I get the Ooze and Unburial Rites in the graveyard it's time to go off.

Honestly Civilized Scholar  Flip and Stinkweed Imp did the majority of the work while the rest of the creatures are effectively chump blockers until I draw an Ooze or a Gifts Ungiven . Minimally, I need a Scholar, an Imp and a haste source before I can start combo-ing out. Having more than 2 Necrotic Ooze just meant I would have cards in my hand that weren't useful to me immediately.

Thanks for the look! I hope one day I have motivation to put this back together, it's currently morphed into The Titan's Fleshbag because I wanted the fetches and Sun Titan is a win condition on its own.

Splinterfright is a nice back-up plan/mill yourself. Or Nyx Weaver does the mill too but I think you'd rather have Splinterfright cause it's a much better attacker

This deck had originally begun as a midrange combo deck, but I eventually chose to go all in with the combo. Mostly for extravagance sake...lol

I do like the two cards you mentioned, and if I was to go more grindy midrange I'd probably consider both of them. The downside to Splinterfright is it's a dead card (or creature) if there are no creatures in your graveyard.

Thanks for taking a look! I hope one day I decide to put this back together, but my playgroup hates on it...a lot.

Thanks! It was...an infinite number of infinite/infinite tokens to sac for infinite life gain/drain...

The best kind of kill is overkill...

the myr propagator combo doesn't work. It says to put a copy of MYR PROPAGATOR, not "of this creature".

Necrotic Ooze replaces the wording of all incidences of a creatures name in their activated abilities with Necrotic Ooze .

The combo works.

I do not usually like combo decks, because I find them conditional and interruptible; but this deck seems like a lot of fun to play as long as you do not run into a U/R or some early game board sweeping deck. (+1) from me ;)

Thanks man. This deck was my favorite for a long while. It's since been morphed into Marauding Titans but will always hold a special place in my heart lol.
