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 is a combo deck based on Brad Nelsons SCG Atlanta Deck. It creates infinite life and tokens with a relatively easy combo.
The original runs cards worth around 400$, I made this VERY affordable without breaking the combo.

How to Play

So, here is how the combo works:
With grisly salvage and mulch you selfmill as hard as you can, to get creatures into your graveyard. Play the creatures you draw. Your win-condition is to have a cartel aristocrat in play and to have Cathedral Sanctifier, Fiend hunter and Dommed traveler either in your hand, in the graveyard or on the board. Last, you need an angel of glory's rise, either in your hand or in the graveyard paired with an unburial rites.
Once Angel comes into play it works like this: reanimate all humans from your graveyard and gain life from the Cathedral Sanctifier. Exile your Angel with the Fiend Hunter. Then Sacrifice all humans but herself with the Cartel Aristocrat to get a 1/1 Spirit from Doomed Traveler. Sacrifice your Fiend Hunter last, then your angel comes back into play and triggers the revive again and again .... = infinite life + infinite 1/1 flying tokens.
Remember that Cartel Aristocrat is vital to your combo, so you might want to cast it only if your combo is arranged in your hand and the graveyard.
You can pull off the combo even when either Doomed traveler or Cathedral Sanctifier is missing, you will then only gain Tokens or life respectively.
Since you can collect your Combo pieces in the graveyard, this combo protects itself to some extend. However, graveyard-hate is your biggest enemy and you may wand to sideboard Sundering Growth against Grafdiggers Cage or Rest in Peace. it even gives more tokens... yay =)

Deck discussion for 20$ Infinite life combo!

Have thought of other infinite combo decks?
I don't the current price of the cards, as I can see you're devoted to make budget deck - which is AWESOME!, but Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank and possibly Underworld Dreams.
You need the Bloodchief to have three counters on it to make the whole thing work =)

Yeah i know that combo, there are some decks here on mtgvault with it. but i actually like to build standard legal decks (with very few exeptions) for people to play on friday nights. also, standard cards are generally cheaper, so its easier to build budget decks with them.
Also, combo decks are complicated to build efficiently, because they are often slow or fragile, so it needs to protect itself or have means to find its pieces fast (thats why this combo deck here is so great, it does both!).

for the longest time i have played creature heavy decks because i think creatures are the most fun spells to play. only recently i have dabbled in deeper deck combos and non-obvious card synergies. I'll try to figure some out, shape them to an affordable level, and share them with you guys!
