I don't know of any but I'd like to take to the time to say that I'm half Puerto Rican. I hope you have a good time up there, it's nice I've been there.

Academy Researchers combined with Mythic Proportions equals a 10/10 trampler for 1UU! Wow!! Does anyone have any good deck ideas for this combo. If so, please discuss.

Matt: Dragon has more hate cards against it such as Root Maze and Platinum Angel (Welder Mud and TNT), while Reanimator only has Tormod's Crypt and Coffin Purge, etc. that works against it. Reanimator is a pure metagame choice in a tournament where Oshawa Stompy and TNT run rampant and include these extra cards in their sideboard against Dragon. All in all Dragon is superior, but choosing Reanimator over it is a pure metagame choice. Also, Shallow Grave can be cast in reaction to Tormod's Crypt or Coffin Purge at instant speed while hate against Dragon is totally unavoidable.

Hi. I want to start off with a decklist. I'll explain the card choices after.

Mana:32
5 Moxen
1 Chrome Mox
1 Mox Diamond
1 Black Lotus
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Lotus Petal
4 Dark Ritual
4 Polluted Delta
4 Underground Sea
3 Badlands
4 City of Brass
2 Gemstone Mine

Creatures:9
4 Nicol Bolas
3 Polar Kraken
2 Sutured Ghoul

Spells:15
4 Buried Alive
1 Entomb
4 Shallow Grave
3 Sneak Attack
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk

Counters:4
4 Force of Will

Now I'll take the time to explain the card choices.

4 Nicol Bolas: I run four in the deck because it can be pitched to Force of Will, Sneak Attacked on the first turn and can be imprinted on Chrome Mox for that crucial red mana to cast Sneak Attack with.

4 Buried Alive/Entomb/Shallow Grave: The reanimator part of the deck. The primary kill condition.

3 Sneak Attack: The secondary kill condition. It's good on the first turn with Nicol Bolas or Polar Kraken.

3 Polar Kraken: The beef of the deck proving to be very versatile as either bait for a Sutured Ghoul or a pitch card to a Force of Will. Also works well with Sneak Attack and Shallow Grave.

2 Sutured Ghoul: Works well as a primary kill condition because you can cast Buried Alive with the Ghoul and two Polar Kraken for a first turn 22/22 trample creature with haste usually ending the game.

Note: With all the mana accellerants in this deck it's very likely that you can pull something off on the first turn. either a first turn Buried Alive Shallow Grave or a first turn Sneak Attack.

Well, there's the deck. feel free to post comments or deck suggestions.

Hi. I designed an Enchantress deck that revolves around the combo Cadaverous Bloom and Whip Silk. The deck works by getting into play a Cadaverous Bloom and a creature to enchant Whip Silk with, and some Enchantress cards in play. When the combo is in play you win by cycling through your whole deck 'infinitely' until you draw a tendrils of agony or consume spirit for the win. This deck is farely fast and can win on the 3rd or 4th turn, 6th turn max. Here's a decklist.

Creatures:16
4 Argothian Enchantress
4 Venduran Enchantress
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Vine Trellis

Enchantments:15
4 Cadaverous Bloom
4 Whip Silk
4 Enchantress's Presence
3 Phyrexian Arena

Kill Cards/Other:7
2 Tendrils of Agony
2 Consume Spirit
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet

Lands:22
4 Bayou
4 Llanowar Wastes
4 Swamp
10 Forest

Hey, I saw that movie. but he said 'toes' not dick. I think dick is a lot funnier though. Hahahaha

Oh, and to tell a little about myself. My name is Carlos and I'm also addicted to Magic.... not coke.

Ephraim: When I first built this deck I did indeed run Argothian Enchantress and Venduran Enchantress. My build looked very similiar to yours. The first time I posted it in the Newbie forum they scoffed at it saying it was unviable as a four card combo. That's the main reason I resorted to Fugitive Druid to cut it down to a 3 card combo, but I later found out that was even less viable. That enchantress build you have their seems a lot more viable and more consistant. I do suggest running Bayou though to smooth out the mana base, other than that it's just peachy!

I came up with this combo using Fugitive Druid+Whip Silk+Cadaverous Bloom. The combo works by getting into play a Fugitive Druid and Cadaverous Bloom, then casting and recasting Whip Silk on the Fugitive Druid, drawing cards and at the same time putting the spells on the stack, then finally finish your opponent off with a Tendrils of Agony. I know this combo seems rather janky and inferior to other combo decks such as Draw7 and Dutch Tendrils, but I just want to make it work. I was thinking of maybe adding control elements and disruption such as Duress, Hymn To Tourach, Unmask and Pernicious Deed. I was pondering the idea of which mana accelerators to use such as Eladamri's Vineyard, Emerald Medallion, Moxes and Land Grant. Any suggestion on card choices for a possible deck design would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think in a deck like this, it would make it more consistent if you included an alternate win condition. It wouldn't hurt to include Magma Mine and the Clockwork Dragon combo in the same deck.

Excuse me asking but what is "Ss".

Book of Rass you don't have to activate and can go infinite, Theroretically, with the cost of 2 life a pop though. My question is: Is there an other artifact that draws you cards and you don't have to tap to activate? That would be a key card for this type of deck.

I made some edits and included 4 Duress. Check out the decklist.

You should do it up old school and include some Serra Angels in your build. I noticed your deck had access to white mana.

Guided Passage - Look it up. It's like a mana intensive super tutor.

You never heard of Squandered Stasis? Shame on you, do your research pal.

You should play Squandered Resources instead of Zuran Orb. It pays upkeep costs and is never a dead card in hand.

I think Skullclamp would make a perfect fit in any Buried Alive deck. Here's a list of some of the creatures it would run.

Nether Shadow
Ashen Ghoul
Krovikan Horror
Abyssal Gatekeeper

All these creatures have great synergy with Skullclamp. All you do is attack then equip during your second main phase to draw  two cards. Your creatures then go to the graveyard only to return to play the very next turn. The last card I mentioned, Abyssal Gatekeeper, is great with Skullclamp because it has a triggered ability when it goes to the graveyard. Each player sacrifices a creature when it hits the 'yard. That and drawing two cards is gravy. If anyone thinks that a Buried Alive deck can make it in the Type 1 metagame please post your comments and suggestions. Here's a basic decklist.

1 Mox Jet
1 Black Lotus
1 Sol Ring
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Ruby
1 Chrome Mox
4 Dark Ritual
4 Duress
3 Buried Alive
4 Bazaar of Baghdad
3 Abyssal Gatekeeper
4 Ashen Ghoul
4 Nether Shadow
3 Squee, Goblin Nabob
4 Fiery Temper
3 Skullclamp
4 Bloodstained Mire
1 Polluted Delta
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
4 Badlands
4 Swamp

This decklist includes Squee which is great with Skullclamp. I also have Bazaars in the deck which also have synergy with Squee. I added Fiery Temper in the deck because of the Baazars. Tell me what you think of this decklist. Is it good, bad, why and does it have a chance in the Type 1 metagame.

EDIT: -1 Skullclamp, -1 Abyssal Gatekeeper,-1 Squee, Goblin Nabob, -1 Buried Alive, +4 Duress.

I have the Djinns in the deck because of its casting cost. The deck is designed to get rid of creatures like Nantuko Shade and Phyrexian Negator, not run them. I have the Djinns in there as good first turn creatures, with a Mox and a Ritual, that dodge Pernicious Deed.

This deck is exactly as described in the title and is based around two things. Mid-ranged casting cost creatures and Pernicious Deed. With Juzam Djinn, Erhnam Djinn and Masticore as the decks main creatures. A Pernicious Deed is able to take out opposing Togs, Goblin Welders, Jackal Pups, Moxen, Phyrexian Negator, Carnophage, and any other permanent under four mana without destroying any one of my creatures. This deck is much like The Rock when Type 2 legal and uses that same concept.

5 Moxen
1 Black Lotus
1 Sol Ring
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Demonic Consultation
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk
1 Regrowth
4 Dark Ritual
4 Duress
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Juzam Djinn
4 Erhnam Djinn
4 Masticore
4 Pernicious Deed
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
4 Polluted Delta
1 Bloodstained Mire
4 Bayou
2 Underground Sea
4 Mishra's Factory

Sideboard:
4 Naturalize
4 Withered Wretch
4 Emerald Charm
3 Skeletel Scrying

Well, there's the deck. Feel free to post comments and suggestions.

Juzam Djinn
Erhnam Djinn
Serendib Efreet
Frenetic Efreet
Wildfire Emissary

With Mycosynth Lattice you could abuse Second Chance with Goblin Welder and take infinite turns. The only condition is you have to be at five life. Throw in Form of the Dragon and you'd not only be at five life but you also have a kill card. I know it seems a little jankey but it does work.

I just thought of this. If I splash red I have two cards that would help me against control and aggro. Overmaster and Lightning Bolt. That may be the first step to making it viable, no?

A first glance at Biorythm the first thoughts that come to mind is this card is too expensive and overpriced for its ability. What if someone decided to design a deck around this card would it be janky or viable? My goal on this thread is to design a deck around this card and make it as viable as possible. Biorythm does have synergy with a number of cards. Here I'll list a few:

 - zero casting cost creatures
 - Gaea's Cradle
 - Collective Unconscious

The first category we have zero casting cost creatures. From then on all the cards listed have synergy with them. Zero casting cost creatures combined with Gaea's Cradle make first turn kills possible with this deck. In conjuntion with Candelabra of Tawnos a first turn kill is very possible, just as long as you play first. Against creature decks it's a bit harder to get a first turn kill especially if they play first. That's not a problem though. I will have 4 Overrun in my sideboard against aggro. The last card mentioned is essential to the deck as a card drawing element. Now I'll take the time to explain my card choices after posting a decklist.

5 Moxen
1 Black Lotus
1 Time Walk
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Timetwister (works well with Moxen and zero casting cost creatures)
1 Sol Ring
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Regrowth
4 Ornithopter (zero casting cost creature)
4 Phyrexian Walker  (zero casting cost creature)
4 Kobolds of Kher Keep (zero casting cost creature)
4 Shield Sphere (zero casting cost wall)
4 Biorythm (kill card)
1 Crop Rotation (fetches Academy or a Gaea's Cradle)
1 Mana Crypt
1 Future Sight (great synergy with zero casting cost creatures and moxen along with Fastbond and Mind's Desire)
1 Fastbond
1 Time Spiral (works the same way as Timetwister)
1 Mana Vault
1 Mind's Desire
3 Candelabra of Tawnos (works wonders with Gaea's Cradle and Tolarian Academy)
2 Collective Unconscious (a great card in conjunction with zero casting cost creatures and a Cradle)
1 Psionic Blast (to take out opposing creature or to your opponent's dome after a Boirythm)
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Diamond
1 Tolarian Academy
4 Gaea's Cradle  (essential in order to get a first turn kill)
4 Glimmervoid
4 Tropical Island

Sideboard:
4 Overrun (against aggro)
4 Chill (against Sligh)
4 Xantid Swarm (against control)
3 Hydroblast (against burn)

This deck is untested and hasn't been tweaked to its full potential. It's a raw idea that came strait from my head onto the drawing board. If you think this idea is viable please post comments and deck suggestions.

I just thought of this. You could splash green for Living Wish so you can fetch those Maze of Ith when you need them. You could also throw in a Dust Bowl in your sideboard and other useful land cards to fetch for. I also think Landstill can benefit from the new man land from Darksteel Blinkmoth Nexus.

I made some edits and took out the Devourers and put in a Spiritmonger and Mutilate. Mutilate is good with big beefy creatures on your side and all my creatures survive it most of the time. I also have some in the sideboard against aggro. Check out the other edits I've made and tell me what you think.

You can always run Ancient Tomb instead of Mishra's Workshop then throw in some life gain to negate the effects of the Tombs.

Excuse me asking, but ahh... what does jankey mean, I'm kind of a noob.

Juzam Djinn is the big meat in the deck. If I were to add in the Negators I would take out the Carnophage and have 4 Negator to compliment my 4 Juzam as additional beatsticks.

A card that has great synergy with creature pump is Troll Ascetic because only you can target him. He never becomes a victim to spot removal. The only viable thing that can really get rid of him are Diabolic Edict and even then It's still hard to off the guy.
