Deck Description

So, ive come up with a new deck idea, using Saffi Eriksdotter + Crypt Champion to activate gravestorm on a Bitter Ordeal or put counters on a Champion of Lambholt to make unblockable

How to Play

In this deck, there are a couple way to go about it. Obviously it will noe always be turn 4 win, but we have multiple ways of doing so, with the right draws. If not, the deck supports itself in the removal, helping you push out your combo, or just swinging in multiple turns for the win.

First off, here is how the combo works:

COMBO: Saffi Eriksdotter + Crypt Champion
HOW TO ACTIVATE:

1. With Saffi Eriksdotter in play, you cast Crypt Champion.

2. Crypt Champions ability goes on the stack, at which time you sacrifice Saffi Eriksdotter, targeting Crypt Champion.

3. Crypt Champion targets Saffi Eriksdotter in the graveyard, causing Saffi to return to play.

4. At this time, Crypt Champion will have to be sacrificed due to no RED mana being used to cast it. Trigger Saffis ability on the stack. Return Crypt Champion to the battlefield.

5. Rinse and Repeat.

You can use Heartless Summoning with Crypt Ghast to ensure yourself a turn 4 win by
T1 Land
T2 Land + Heartless summoning
T3 Land (Urborg, tomb of yawgmoth must be, by this time in play or being played now) + Crypt Ghast
T4 Land + Saffi Eriksdotter, which leaves 2 Black mana floating, used to then cast Crypt Champion. at this time, you will have 2 mana left open, and will tap to add 4 mana, of which 2 is guarenteed to be Black mana. You activate the Crypt Champion + Saffi Eriksdotter combo, enough times to be able to "mill" or rather exile your opponents entire deck when you cast Bitter Ordeal, to activate its Gravestorm **HINT: DO IT MORE THAN JUST ENOUGH CARDS IN LIBRARY** Then pass turn, and its Good game, Game 2?

The second way is using Champion of Lambholt.

T1 Land (Forest/plains)
T2 Land (Forest/plains) Cast Saffi Eriksdotter
T3 Land, cast Champion of Lambholt
T4 Land Cast Crypt Champion. Activate Saffi+Crypt combo, putting infinite +1+1 onto Champion of Lambholt. Swing with Champion, and its Good game, Game 2?

Deck discussion for Bitter Sweet Endings

I love you.
Crypt ghast seems a bit out of place though, same with heartless sommoning.

You could run dredge cards like Loam and some utility lands to help dig through your deck to get a rites/staffi/champion in the GY.
Lets you run Ghost quarters/tectonic edge

The Crypt Ghast and Heartless Summoning, are actually in the deck to allow for multiple ways to ensure early enough win. Crypt Ghast and Heartless makes it so that with 3 mana, you can both cast crypt champion, and bitter ordeal without having to go to late turns.

How do you ensure getting bitter ordeal? It seems easy enough to pull off the 2 card combo especially with mill, but like many infinite mana combos in modern, if you don't have the coup de grace then you might lose even after assembling it. I'll think on it. I like this combo.

In his defense, his disruption/removal package helps him stall out until he gets the combo going i assume.

Thats exactly it, most infinite combos are useless unless you can get it off, but as Viagrasaurusrex said, the disruption/removal package does a lot of work in that regard. Allows it to be early, or potential late. But I can see how it is hard to imagine getting it all.

Also because it is a graveyard combo its not as fragile when faced with a thoughtsieze/IoK(unless Ordeal gets hit)

I feel like simply running more of the same kinds of things in the Sideboard is counter-productive. You might want to think about matchups and tailor it to those.

I'm thinking vs Aggro:
+4 Elesh Norn
+2 Sun Titan
+1 Unburial Rites
-or-
+3 Wurmcoil Engine (even at 5/5 with heartless it's still a house)

vs Affinity:
+2 or +3 Stony Silence

against Scapeshift and slow combo, your disruption package is the nuts, just be careful for the snapcaster blocks on your scullers.

against other fast combo, just hold a path or decay in hand if it's Twin. I have no idea what your storm plan is though. Pretty much hope to dodge it because you have so many dead cards (even the disruption is underwhelming against them) that I don't see a good storm player having major problems against this deck. Even the sided Leylines probably won't do much against the G2 Empty the Warrens.

then against American Control and Electrolyze decks, simply take out the heartless summoning plan and champions, bc most of your other guys are big enough to prevent 3-for-1s without it.

Small problem with Heartless Summoning, if my knowledge of the rules is correct, it'll kill Saffi Eriksdotter before you can use its ability. The 0 toughness should be checked as a state based thing, and nothing is faster than state based, not even Instants.
