Sleazebag no worries! I guess I will just go old-school, grab a pen & paper and figure it out.

Having only played only 1 EDH game I am still not the biggest fan, but I believe this deck might change that!

Kudos for coming up with this!

Dictate of Erebos would be really strong with this deck!

The problem is, if you are already going infinite, it is a dead card.

It also used to be in the deck but I took it out due to costs.

Oh and Mikaeus w/ Triskelion go infinite on their own, no need for sac oulets as you can make him a 0/0 and get him back, while dealing damage.

why Rend Flesh over Murder?

wakawakawaka: Rend Flesh is $0.08 while Murder is $0.36.

No other reason. I'd definitely upgrade to Murder if you have it at hand!

Great Deck M8 but I do have a few questions about playstyle and politics with this deck. You see, I ordered this deck off line last night but I have a few questions about how to keep people off your back. I still a little new to EDH and I plan to take to my LGS as soon as it comes in. I called the LGS and they said that their meta is mostly casual but a couple of guys have pimped out Zurs, Kallias, ect, so I was curious on how you guys would advise to try and keep off the radar when every one knows you gonna try and combo off in one turn and likely kill the whole table? Also does any one have any actual experience with this deck and how often does it win?

EIGHT HUNDRED IS THERE!!

TravisLazuli: Basically, when it comes to being a new player and staying off the radar, make sure they know you are new.

Secondly, don't dump your hand mindlessly on the table. Play your draw spells and manarocks when you can, and keep your combo pieces in your hand until you have them ready.

Unless it's a hard to remove piece like an artifact combo piece, or you have protection in the form of swiftfoot boots etc.

Try to sneak out a sac outlet when there are scarier things in play, then if it survives you drop both the sac fodder and mikaeus in one turn and OHKO someone (or everyone).

TravisLazuli this deck does great! I've only lost once in 1v1 matches due to bad draws, which rarely happens with all the searching and graveyard play. If you get a transmute card andPhyrexian Reclamation you have won....it's a beautiful little search combo in this deck.

EDH_decks: Indeed, and all have been in the deck at various points. The reason most of them have been cut is that I only need one sac outlet for each CMC, so one 3cmc, one 4cmc etc.

All except Carrion Feeder which I had to cut because it was too expensive. I wish I could run it. :(

Thanks for the suggestions though, they are all solid alternatives to the sac outlets I have at the moment. Just don't need more of them due to the tutors.

Blood Bairn is cheaper than Nantuko Husk.

Sleazebag says... #16

EDH_decks: You're right! Time to swap them.

Deck is now two cents cheaper!

Don't forget to update the description.

but if you sac one creature with Bloodflow Connoisseur it can't come back with undying

Sleazebag says... #20

pryoplasm: Hmm, I didn't even think about that until you mentioned it! The reason I don't run Bloodflow over Phyrexian Ghoul is that Phyrexian Ghoul doesn't die to Heartless Summoning, so you can cast it for one black mana. But yes, she also has an anti-synergy with Mikaeus. :P

I'm planning on building this deck with some of the cards you took out like blasting station. How many copies would you recommend that I play?

MisterPhoton says... #22

I was looking at Swarm of Bloodflies as a fun side-combo next to any of the infinite sac outlets. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it get huge with one of the loops?

June 8, 2015 12:33 a.m.

Sleazebag says... #23

MisterPhoton: It would! Although if you want to go for something like this I'd recommend Scavenger Drake.

The thing is that when you have an infinite sac loop you usually don't need that extra piece.

Another alternative wincon could be Grinding Station. It doesn't work with everything, but it works with most of them.

Carnifex Demon looks like another good sac fodder with the bonus of being able to clear away enemy weenies if necessary. Pretty cheap too.
