UPDATE

Removed 4 Quicken for 4 diabolic tutor. Removed 2 Clan Defiance to +1 Xengos and +1 Flesh//Blood. Mizzium Skin seemed a little redundant with Simic Charm, so I removed the 3 and added 3 Mnemonic Wall to return from the grave Simic Charm or Cyclonic Rift as I need them. Plus Mnemoic Wall helps to get extra mana out of Axebane Guardian.


Flesh / Blood's Blood aspect is the star of this deck as the primary wincon when Colossus of Akros is cast after ramping as you deal 10 damage to opponent. This becomes 20 damage if you have 10 mana and can align the following in this order; Xenagos, God of Revels one turn, Colossus of Akros , flesh//blood. Assuming Xenagos stays around for the turn after (Simic Charm helps a lot]], we cast the Colossus and wait to combat phase. Combat phase we boost Colossus to a 20/20 haste-trample (he would be a 40/40 haste-trample if you made him monsterous). On the second main phase you cast just Blood for 20 direct damage to opponent.

If you dont have a Xenagos, God of Revels, then use Meletis Charlatan to double the damage of the Flesh / Blood or Clan Defiance

Clan Defiance is the secondary way to make use of all that mana ramping. Morgue Burst is added to the sideboard when facing discard style decks since returning the colossus from the grave makes some nasty damage. Mistcutter Hydra is of course for when facing blue control. Mistcutter Hydra also makes use of the Xenagos, God of Revels ability to double his power when attacking.

As you can see the primary way of control in this is Cyclonic Rift. Voyage's End or Abrupt Decay can be subbed in if facing more aggressive decks, however I am hoping that the deck is fast enough with its ramping that Cyclonic Rift can be overloaded easily to hold you out until win cons can be gotten out in force.

Quicken is there to give nasty surprises on opponents turn for Clan Defiance / Morgue Burst /Flesh / Blood while also drawing a card. This can also be used on any turn when you have to face an instant that gets rid of your colossus and you need to cast your sorcery NOW.
