Crank Combo Modern

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This somewhat inexpensive Modern deck uses the combination of Duskmantle Guildmage and Mindcrank to make your opponent mill/lose life infinitely.

How to Play

Ideally, the combo will go off on turn 4, looking something like this:

T1: Land, Codex Shredder.
T2: Land, Mindcrank.
T3: Land, Duskmantle Guildmage. 1 mana open for Apostle's Blessing.
T4: Activate Duskmantle's ability, tap Codex Shredder. Game.

Codex Shredder isn't the only way to start off the combo though. Any of the included kill spells, especially Slaughter Pact, work great. So does Inquisition of Kozilek, Consult the Necrosages, Nephalia Drownyard, or if you have enough mana, Duskmantle Guildmage's second ability.

The great thing though is that all these things are very useful, even if you aren't using them to start the combo. Inquisition of Kozilek is a perfectly good turn 1 play, Consult the Necrosages can be used to draw cards, the kill spells hold off your opponent, and Nephalia Drownyard at least taps for mana.
