Ever After Combo Needs Help
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on April 23, 2016, 6:22 p.m. by Malvion
So after I saw G/B Seasons Past from the pro tour, I decided to brew a combo deck with Seasons Past's sister card, Ever After.
The combo is with Sidisi, Undead Vizier. You sacrifice Sidisi to itself, search for an Ever After, cast the ever after, bring back Sidisi and another thing, sacrifice Sidisi to itself, get your Ever After from the bottom of your library. You then repeat.
In effect, the combo basically reads, 'every turn, return one target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield'. This will often grind out games (not counting any potential Zulaport Cutthroat triggers from Sidisi dying).
My question is: How do you build this deck? Do you build it controllingly, with cards like Read the Bones and Grasp of Darkness, a midrange grindy aristocrats deck, or a Reanimator deck?
What cards do you think would be good in this shell? How do I build this deck? What colours should I play? What self-mill, if any should I play?
Any help is appreciated.

I would do UB self-mill into an Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger or something like that.

Just saying that Dragonlord Kolaghan and Dragonlord Silumgar are amazing targets. Especially if your opponent has a flipped Avacyn.....
IMO Grixis is the way to go.
Chandra, tormenting voice, etc can dig you to your Ever After/Sidisi and then from there you can either Ever After every turn or you could use the aforementioned pair of Dragonlords to, you know, just kill someone.

I saw a deck that used Ever After with Pieces of the Puzzle to find Ever Afters and Necromantic Summons while dumping dragonlords and giant eldrazi in the graveyard. That might be something you could try.

As far as colors go for this deck, the best are either Grixis or Sultai.
Blue: a great color for this deck, has self mill, card draw, counters in case someone has the deck killing Hallowed Moonlight
Red: a fair color, has board wipes, card draw, discard
Green: a nessicary color, has ramp in case the combo is too slow, and little self mill

I would go BW Control but that's just me.
