Is this a good combo for modern
{Bloodchief Ascension} + {Mindcrank}
I don't think so because you need to have {Bloodchief Ascension} active, and this is a win-more combo, as if you have ascension active you are already winning.
I used it and it is good, but hard to build right. Proliferate gave a whole new twist to the strategy allowed for surprise drops. I really like the combo since it is an instant win, but the building is really rough. The two ways to make use of it are build just around it or use it as a secondary win con. Building around it makes the deck look much like a {pyromancer ascension} deck with tons of cantrips and burn or discard effects. The alt win con calls for a more control style deck that can tutor the combo once youre set up for it. In either case {gutshot} is a must, it closes the deal in response to them trying to answer the combo.
Will it win a PTQ? Not likely.
Is it super fun to play and a great way to steal some wins and possibly make top 8? Yes.
Ill bump my old bloodcrank deck, but if i were to rebuild it now it would look very different.
Why this combo will not work. {slaughter games} other combines have substitutions that can be made, this combo doesn't.

It works just fine, you just have to be prepared for answers. {Duress} in this case.
Nevermind apparently I didnt post it on here.
Moder deck I'm working on is all about {Axebane Guardian} and {Freed from the Real}. A whole bunch of one drop defenders like {Oona's Gatewarden} make it work nice. The goal is enough mana for a lethal fireball. {Overgrown Battlement} and {Galvanic Alchemist} fit in, but aren't as nice as Axebane guardian and freed from the real.
