Subception- Entering a subgame within a subgame. The only way to get back to the layer above is death... hopefully your opponents! Get deep enough into subgames using Enter the Dungeon and you might not ever get back out... But the risks are worth it- any two pieces of treasure from your deck!
So what treasure can be found in the dungeon?
-Your main goal is to play Pathrazer of Ulamog as early as possible and make your oppenents start sacrificing... if they can stay alive that is!
-Fast mana cards like Seething Song, Dark Ritual, and Geosurge are your tools here... create massive amounts of mana out of nowhere and slam him down (or any of your other cards) as early as turn 2!
-Did they have a Doom Blade? Torrent of Souls or Betrayal of Flesh bring him back as well as giving you some great options!
-Are your opponents playing cool cards that you'd like to have? Use Brand + Thieves' Auction
to steal their best permanents and then take all yours back!
-Too many creatures on the field to deal with? Life's Finale and Tsabo's Decree take care of that and help make sure it doesn't happen again!
But how can you make sure you have access to all those cards when you need them? That's why you Enter the Dungeon! Everyone starts at 5 life so all you need to do is play Breath of Malfegor and you instantly claim the loot, no matter how many other contenders you have! All you need is a couple lands and a Dark Ritual or Seething Song. If you don't get what you need in your opening hand, simply Enter the Dungeon again. This has the added benefit of making your opponents heads spin! Subception! But only having 5 life yourself can be precarious! So if your opponents are rushing at you with lots of fast creatures, thwart their attacks with Drown in Sorrow or Bile Blight!
Feel free to Enter the Dungeon to your hearts content! The more you do, the more loot you get and the more it makes your opponents groan. And the best part of all- all of this is less than $20! Happy looting!
