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

Another mean deck to use. Mostly Green/Blue, with a touch of black.

The goal:

1. Put any creature in play
2. Put Cauldron of Souls in play
3. Put Altar of Dementia into play
4. Put Power Conduit into play
4. Give creature persist, sacrifice through Altar, creature persists at -1/-1
5. Use Power Conduit to remove the -1/-1 counter
6. Repeat

Deck's Ultimate Combo: (Combo extends with multiple copies of creatures)

Altar of Dementia
Power Conduit
Woodfall Primus
Vigean Graftmage or Cytoplast Manipulator

When you get these four cards in play:

Sacrifice Woodfall Primus through Altar of Dementia (this mills an opponent six cards)

It persists so destroy a second noncreature permanent (land!)

Tap Power Conduit to remove the -1/-1 counter and give an additional +1/+1 counter to Vigean/Cytoplast

Sacrifice Woodfall Primus again (mill six more and persist to destroy another noncreature permanent)

Now when Woodfall Primus persists with a -1/-1, graft onto it with Vigean/Cytoplast, the counters negate

Now you can Sacrifice Woodfall again (mill six, destroy noncreature)

Graft a second time

Sac Woodfall (Mill six, destory noncreature)

Graft a third time

Sac Woodfall (Mill Six, destroy noncreature)

Persists with a -1/-1

*Optional Sacrifice one more time if you want to mill 5 more cards

Total Combo: Mill 30, destroy 5 noncreatures (optional sacrifice mill 35 total)

If you have a second Power Conduit you can mill an additional 12 and destroy an additional 2 permanents

If you have a second Vigean/Cytoplast you can mill an additional 18 and destroy an additional 3 permanents


The rest of the deck is meant to supplement, cauldron of souls can give all your creatures persist so you can do the above combo with any of them. Evolution Vat will help get more +1/+1 counters on the Vigean/Cytoplast for the combo. You can use Cytoplast to steal creatures or Roil Elementals landfall ability to steal creatures, just make sure you don't sacrifice the Roil if you took creatures cause they revert to their owner regardless of persist. Rampaging Baloths are meant to help get more creatures for defense or sacrificing. Fecundity allows you to draw a card with each sacrifice giving you a huge advantage of them milling while you draw. If you ever lose a creature you can simply victimize something with persist and get them back!

-Cheers!
