with the commander reprint, would Magus of the Coffers be something to include here?

pryoplasm: Oh my, $0.18 TCG low! Yes, this is definitely something worth adding! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Probably wouldn't use Zulaport Cutthroat because its a human.

So you won't use a great utility card because... it won't have undying

mw2noobbuster: The deck is made for free for all, not 1v1, so definitely.
Poprox: As spencerbot said, this card isn't run to be sacced, but to win us the game with a sac outlet in play.

Bu thats the thing. In order to have that guy go off, you already need to have an infinite sac outlet. You now require 3-4 cards to trigger an infinite when all you would need with something else is 2-3. If you have an infinite sac, i'd much rather play Essence Harvest, or swing.

Poprox: Why in the world would you rather have Essence Harvest? The Essence Harvest kills one opponent, the Cutthroat kills ALL your opponents.

So, I am confused on how this deck can go infinite. I understand the Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Blasting Station + Tatterkite combo, due to tatterkite not being able to obtain counters, but what about the rest that use -1/-1 counters? I really don't understand having those then sacking them makes them come back because don't they have a +1/+1 counter on them? It will pretty much cancel the -1/-1 effect, but aren't the counters still there? I want to get into EDH and I thought this would be a great deck, I just want to understand how it works :)

Kobra: Hey, +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters DO cancel each other out! Which includes removing the counters.
As for making this as your first EDH deck, I ask you to proceed with caution, as EDH is a social format and not everyone enjoys playing against this deck.
In a month or so there will be coming out 5 new commander preconstructed decks, you might want to wait and check those out! (Or build this in the meantime).

That's true, i havn't thought about that. When i saw this deck i thought it was great, purchased it, and had full intention to use it consistantly but i find people will only let me use it in 1v1 matches so thats my mindset with this deck. :P

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it, and I'm probably going to pick up the new commanders coming out, so hyped!!!!

Falkenrath Torturer is another sac outlet with flying
October 12, 2015 6:46 p.m.
Falkenrath Torturer doesn't work, because you need NON-Humans to sac so they get undying from Mikaeus, the Unhallowed.

Chemtails: Necropotence says "At the end of your turn, lose 10 life, draw 10 cards, exile all cards you don't need (down to 7), start your next turn with a perfectly sculpted hand to combo off" for BBB.

Fair enough, That would do the job. why leaden myr and jewled ammulet ?also, what do i upgrade commanders sphere with?
October 14, 2015 6:25 p.m.

Out of curiosity, is Mikaeus included in the price of the deck?
I ask because I've been playing with my own variation on super-budget EDH, and I have a graveyard-based combo list that's ALMOST as cheap as yours, haha.
