Sideboard


This is an attempt to make a viable, consistent Screams from Within kind of combo-ish deck.

With the printing of Dusk Legion Zealot the deck got basically Elvish Mystic 5-8, which makes it much more consistent, since you have more dual-duty creature fulfilling card draw and fodder roles for Screams from Within. Every creature in the deck counts as a finisher, because once you get going with Strength from the Fallen and any other enchantment in the deck you get a huge beatstick with either Trample or Flying or Fear or even more than one of those in any combination.

The enchantments in the deck are tuned for recursion and evasion:

Rancor and Gryff's Boon both fulfill those requirements. Rancor comes back to hand whenever the creature it holds gets's killed, while Gryff's Boon can sit in our graveyard and come back to finish the game any time we need it, hence it is not hindering us if we might mill it with Wayfinder.

Where the fun really starts is Screams from Within + Strength from the Fallen :

clog up the board with dorks, get a Lotleth Troll/Squadron Hawk on the field and then start targeting your own creatures with Scream whilst Strenght is on the field. Scream will come back to the battlefield after it kills the first dork, Strenght giving the finisher +X/+X from the Constellation Trigger. Then the next dork dies, getting back Screams again, triggering constellation again, this time giving X+1/X+1, since one more creature is in the bin, and so on, and so on... you can cycle through this loop as often as it needs be, or at least for a number of times equal to your unneeded creatures, creating a huge AF evasive threat that ends the game in one fell swoop.

Finishers:

as stated, with the help of the enchantment package, any dork in the deck can act as a finisher, but you might want to focus on Lotleth Troll, which has natural protection in the form of Regenerate and natural evasion thanks to Trample. The second best finisher would be Squadron Hawk, which has even better evasion in Flying, but lacks any form of real protection.

Another notable combo is that Lotleth Troll + Squadron Hawk together in hand set you up for both just beating down with a "normal" Troll, or for a really fast huge Strenght from Within, pumping the Troll through his ability and a second time from the grave.

A more detailed and in depth description is coming in the near future, if i've actually acquired all the cards, and played in some events with this.

I'm always open for suggestions and help.
