So you can use the En-kor ability to re-direct 1 damage even if no damage is delt to it?

Yes, it's an activated ability that costs {0} to use. So, when you have priority, you can activate [card]Nomads En-Kor[/card], targetting [card]Daru Spiritualist[/card] (for example) 15,000 times. Then you use a "sac to gain life" ability of something like [card]Starlit Sanctum[/card] or [card]Diamond Valley[/card] to gain 15,000 (or some equally arbitrarily large) life. From there you can deck your opponent or use a win condition, like [card]Test of Endurance[/card] to win the game. It's a redundant and highly elegant little combo that just slaughters aggro decks.

Read the Flores article linked above for a more detailed explanation.

Thanks for all the help.

No problem. Smile - Bardo

Quote from: Vegeta2711

Rector kill: Oath up Academy Rector while hopefully putting Cabal Therapy in the graveyard. Flashback Therapy, sac Rector and fish out Bargain (Or something similar). Draw 17-19 cards and then Tendrils the opponent out. Reclamation up Yawg's Will in the off-chance you are unable to fetch anything with Rector after 2-3 Oath activations.

Consists of 4 Cabal Therapy, 1 Krosan Reclamation, Necropotence, 1 Future Sight, Yawgmoth's Bargain, Yawgmoth's Will, 1-2 Academy Rector and 1-2 Tendrils of Agony.

Advantages
-Many 'mini' combos get added to the deck through so many broken cards
-Rector is a good back-up engine with Oath
-The ability to win immidately after assembling the combo

Disadvantages
-Life matters
-Loss of a HUGE amount of maindeck space
-Opens you up to grave hate

.


Does anyone have a decklist of this Oath build?  I am very interested in trying out this version.

For starters I want to say that I love the Meandeck Tendrils deck.  Very well done Meandeck!  Very Happy

I've seen Tendril builds with necropotence main deck as opposed to sideboard.  What is everyones opinion on this?  Personally, I seem to like it main. First turn necro of a ritual, set aside 10-12 cards. Turn two is almost a sure win.

Can I ask why( or how) you would use Masticore for the win?  I understand the Ambassador, or maybe a Sliver Queen, but Masticore?

Also, I don't think you can have your animate dead target nothing when you have the amount of mana you want.  It has to target something if it can.
