---

Sharuum is one general who has to rely on what her deck is made up of, in my opinion. I've adjusted my playstyle to rely less on countering and more of card quality filtering. I do this fairly consistently with the cantrips and Neceopotence, with paying vast increments of life almost negligent due to the Thopter Foundry combo.

Combos include:

Sculpting Steel/Phyrexian Metamorph + Bitter Ordeal/Disciple of the Vault = Infinite life loss or exile all cards from all opponent's library.

Grim Monolith + Power Artifact + Blue Sun's Zenith/Stroke of Genius = Infinite colorless mana, then making someone draw their entire deck, "decking them out."

Academy Ruins + Mindslaver = take someone elses turn every turn.

Thopter Assemby OR (Foundry + Sword of the Meek) + Time Sieve = take infinte turns, eventually setting up the other combos or killing people with thopters.

Crucible of Worlds + Strip Mine/Wasteland = Repetitive land destruction, usually targeting utility lands or for color screwing somone. Crucible also works with Buried Ruin for a pseudo-Sharuum effect.
