Deck Description

***Comments are Welcome***

The purpose of this deck is to get out an infinite damage combo: Mindcrank + Duskmantle Guildmage . Once the combo is on the battlefield, all that is required to win is to play or activate one of the several combo triggers.

The combo is especially powerful because it doesn't have to target a player, and it mills a player's entire deck while dealing damage, so it bypasses defenses like Aegis of the Gods and abilities that keep you alive when at zero life.

The one-of planeswalkers and creatures are useful in the deck, but also help create a win-win situation when you play Gifts Ungiven. Most opponents are more concerned with you gaining a planeswalker than a Duskmantle Guildmage if they haven't seen the combo coming.

Triggers:
Dakra Mystic: mill a card
Death Cultist: sacrifice and deal 1 damage
Desecration Demon: opponent sacrifices, or demon attacks
Dimir Infiltrator: attack
Dread: opponent deals combat damage to you, or Dread attacks
Kokusho: Kokusho dies or attacks
Ob Nixilis: play a land
Vapor Snag: deal 1 damage to opponent
Jace: mill a card
Tezzeret: opponent loses X life
Thoughtseize: opponent discards a card
Ghost Quarter: land goes into opponent's graveyard

Overall, it's been a pretty reliable deck when I've been playtesting.
