Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT A DECK DESIGNED TO BE THE MOST POWERFUL CEDH DECK! This was something I put together and thought was a lot of fun, along with being somewhat powerful.

What is This Deck?

This decks is, for lack of a better comparison, an eggs deck. Similar to the modern deck of old albeit with creatures instead of artifacts. Typically, winning involves sacrificing your board to Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar, getting it all back via Living Death or Second Sunrise, and then getting more mana, more cards from card:Sidise, Undead Vizier or Harvester of Souls, and draining with Zulaport Cutthroat. Now, the first question you probably have is "Why aren't I playing Death Cultist?" as you may notice, this list runs a bunch of bad creatures. Many of them have occasionally relevant abilities (i.e. Children of Korlis or Fume Spitter), but really they are played because of how good 1-drops are with Phyrexian Altar. If you plan to play this list in a more competitive format, I recommend cutting some of these in exchange for more protection.

The Plan

First, we need to set up our engine. If you're trying to win with an infinite combo, this involves Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed, Living Death, Phyrexian Altar or Ashnod's Altar, and some more creatures. In a standard game, we want to get a sacrifice engine (Phyrexian Altar,Ashnod's Altar, Viscera Seer, or Sadistic Hypnotist), a mana engine (Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod's Altar, or Pitiless Plunderer), a card engine (Harvester of Souls or Sidisi, Undead Vizier), and finally, some creatures!

To set up the engine, we are gonna need a bunch of cards. To do this, we have several options:

• Tutors: We are running six real tutors:Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Imperial Seal, Diabolic Intent, Ranger of Eos, and Sidisi, Undead Vizier.

• "Graveyard Tutors": We are running two cards to put other cards in our bin:Entomb and Buried Alive.

• Card Draw: We are running three literal instances of card draw:Grim Haruspex, Harvester of Souls, and Skullclamp

When Have I Won?

Assuming your opponents can't interrupt you, you have won once you have:- Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed on the battlefield.- Living Death in your graveyard- Phyrexian Altar or Ashnod's Altar on the battlefield- Priest of Gix or card:Cathodin in your graveyard- Zulaport Cutthroat in your graveyard to win by draining your opponents out, or both Priest of Gix and card:Cathodin in your graveyard to win with infinite mana + Debt to the Deathless

Basically, you sacrifice Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed to return Living Death to your hand.Then you cast Living Death, getting back Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed and all your other creatures. Then you sacrifice Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed to get back Living Death, and sacrifice everyone else to get mana from Ashnod's Altar. Then you cast Living Death, and do this until you win with Zulaport Cutthroat.

Infinite mana can be generated by having more creatures than required.

Setting up Your Engine

- The best way to set up your engine is with Buried Alive. Typically, you want to grab Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed+Priest of Gix+Sidisi, Undead Vizier- If any of these cards aren't in your library, you can replace them with Ranger of Eos, Karmic Guide, or Harvester of Souls.

Do not Fizzle Thineself

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! - Athreos, God of Passage can fizzle many of your combos if your opponents let your creatures return to your hand. Athreos, God of Passage is meant to be played in a slow hand, so you can have some resiliency to removal.- Grim Haruspex is not a "may" ability. If you are planning to sack an infinite number of creatures, you WILL MILL YOURSELF OUT! try to exile your own Grim Haruspex with Anguished Unmaking, or always sacrifice it first.
