This uses the axebane defender + galvanic alchemist infinite mana combo.

Just need to make it a little more consistent. Currently going off 60% of the time.

I have a budget version of this :o

Wally

Yeah, drop the plainswalkers and it pretty much is. I just have them so they went right in.
Also you can try anything off-color due to axe's mana fixing. But usually safer to stick with your main colors.

I'd reccomend cutting five cards.

{Undead Alchemist} is awesome.

Yeah he was in there, when I was trying to make it a mill deck, the doorkeepers are really there only as a backup strategy.
Generally this is a one hit kill deck. Whether its burn for a million or mill their whole deck. The rest is really just stall in disrupt.

Wally

So I've found the core of this deck to be quite versatile.

See the sideboard for which deck to play, or you could even swap for game two if needed.

Currently sitting at a total of 66 cards when made. Any tips on what to drop in the core?

The mana combo is pretty cool, i dont use the soulbonding but  {Niblis of the Breath} to untab my krenko an produce an overwhelming amount of goblins per turn:)

Wally

This will obviously get a good upgrade when gatecrash is released.

{Primal Surge} into....{primal surge}! Awwww...

Dont run that card with other non perminents. Until we have a tutor strapped to a perminent like we did with {rune-scarred demon} it's not really worth running. If you are determined though then you can run a single surge with a few {diabolic revelation} and simply search out all the blanks.

The rest looks good though, good enough that I am thinking of posting how I would build one. Once I get that up later today check it out, it'll br built a little different than normal.

Wally

Yeah the idea for the surge is to just run it till it hits the second (or third if I'm holding one) or even deck out, then using one of the artifatcs to make another library again.
Usually if I didn't have the infinite mana combo out before, it comes out during the surge and then I just burn for a million with niv on the same turn :)
