THIS LIST IS ARCHIVED AS THE CORE OF THE DECK HAS BEEN UPDATED. FOR THE UPDATED VERSION, CLICK HERE: Murmaider | Thrasios Combo

A player's guide to destroying your opponents. Fast combo or death is plan A.

Note: If you are looking for my old Thrasios Buried Alive list, you can find it here: Thrasios Buried Alive | A Competitive Primer

With the recent unbanning of Protean Hulk, we get some spicy combos.

Lines:

• Hermit Druid

Cast and tap Hermit Druid to mill your library getting Narcomoeba. Play a land from your hand to return Bloodghast to the battlefield. Sacrifice all three to cast Dread Return targeting Necrotic Ooze. With your library dumped, Necrotic Ooze will have the abilities of Wall of Roots, Blighted Bat, Devoted Druid, Channeler Initiate, and Walking Ballista. Use these to deal infinite damage to each opponent

Note: Anything requiring Bloodghast can be instead substituted with Fatestitcher.

• Flash Hulk

Cast Flash and choose Protean Hulk in your hand. Refuse to pay the cost on Flash so Protean Hulk dies. With his ability, you fetch Cephalid Illusionist, Nomads en-Kor, Hapless Researcher, Grand Abolisher, and another 1cmc creature to the battlefield. From here, you can loop Cephalid Illusionist and Nomads en-Kor to mill your library, getting Narcomoeba. You can do this safely as Grand Abolisher prevents your opponents from interacting. Once fully milled, sacrifice your Narcomoeba, Cephalid Illusionist and Nomads en-Kor to flashback Dread Return targeting Laboratory Maniac. Sacrifice Hapless Researcher to draw a card and win. You can also target Necrotic Ooze with Dread Return and perform the above line.

• Devoted Remedies

Find and cast both Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies. These grant you infinite mana to throw into our commander Thrasios, Triton Hero to draw our deck. Use one of the above lines to win.
