Magic the Gathering is fairly new to me; however after doing some research on Standard decks I have come up with what I hope is a fun and competitive deck to play. This deck revolves around 3 main factors heavy aggro, control through target destruction spells and a type of combo. The combo that I'm referring too is the one created through having Bloodthrone Vampire, Geralf's Messenger, Thrull Parasite and hopefully 1-2 Blood Artists. The combo is basically started by Bloodthrone Vampire sacrificing Geralf's Messenger thus adding +2/+2 to her and sending Geralf's Messenger where he would just come right back on the battlefield (undying) doing 2 damage to opponent and having a +1/+1 counter put on him. This is where if you had 1-2 Blood Artists on the field you'd then gain +2 life and do +2 damage to opponent again. Next you would use the ability from Thrull Parasite to remove the +1/+1 counter on Geralf's Messenger to allow him to come back from the grave again (undying) and sacrificing him again with Bloodthrone Vampire again giving her +2/+2. Here is where if you had 1-2 Blood Artists out is will help negate the damage you will take from Thrull Parasite activated ability and do even more damage to the opponent. Rinse and repeat the next turn once you can reuse Thrull Parasite tap ability. I really looking to understand is this is at all a viable combo to stay casually competitive as well as help on a sideboard for this deck as I have no idea what to add. The only spell I was considering adding into either my side/or main is Essence Harvest to use in conjunction with a beefed up Bloodthrone Vampire to possibly end the game or at least get my opponent low and give me back a bunch of health. As well Bioshift to use the combo again by removing/moving counter's around. All feedback welcome as I'm trying to learn the in's and out's of what is necessary to both have a fun deck and be competitive at the same time.
