Infinite Undying Help!

Here is my deck: Abusing the Undying (help pls!)

I spotted that Mikaeus, the Unhallowed could be wonderfully abused for infinite combo fun. Here are the combos I have spotted so far:

When you have Mikaeus the zombie on the field:

Either Falkenrath Noble or Selhoff Occultist give you a damage/mill win with:+ 2x Fume Spitteror+ Grimgrin, Corpse-Born + Pith Drilleror+ grimgrim,-corpse-born + 2x Necropedeor+Grimgrin, Corpse-Born + Necropede + Fume Spitter

Or you can get a Devouring Swarm to go infinite with:Pith Drilleror2x NecropedeorNecropede + Fume Spitter

I seem to be able to get the infinite by Turn 7 or 8 usually, which is nice, but I'm sure you guys can make it better!

Thanks in advance!PeteW

-1/-1 counters do not count as removing a +1/+1 counter. You need someway to take the +1/+1 off of the creature. A quick search pulled up these.

I'm sure all of them wont work in a combo like this but it's a start.

+1/+1 and -1/-1 Counters get removed until only one remains when State Based actions are checked, so they do indeed work.

420.5n If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters are removed from it, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on it.

yep you are right about that, my bad.

er, guys? remember that guy from New Phyrexia, the one no one played and can be fetched with Trinket Mage?

Hex Parasite is unreal, he keeps things coming back FOREVER, or makes your opponents stuff smaller haha
