Kanye West

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

A Heartless Summoning Havengul Lich Combo Deck, with a twist.

It can go infinite on turn three. In Standard.

dkjgymnast turned me to this idea. I wanted to see if I could make it more streamlined. The combo is as follows.

T1: Play a Red mana source, cast Faithless Looting, pitching either Perilous Myr or Devil's Play along with some other card.
T2: Play a Black mana source, cast Heartless Summoning.
T3: Play a Blue mana source, cast Priest of Urabrask. It dies, but not before entering the battlefield, leaving you with 5 mana (the three from its ability and your two untapped lands). Cast Havengul Lich, then activate its ability to cast Priest of Urabrask again. This loop will net you {R} every time til infinity, at which point you can flashback Devil's Play or activate Perilous Myr a million times.

Not sure how smooth it will be, but I think between Ponder and Faithless Looting, the combo can be found. Regardless of how well it works, I think it's pretty sweet.

And for those of you who don't know, the reference to Kanye is because of the song "Heartless"

Comments and concerns welcome.

I haven't playtested with it yet, so as of now, I have a perfect record :P

I can foresee this deck running into a lot of problems against aggro decks, which is why I have the three slagstorms in the main.

Oh, wow. This is genius. essentially a twodrop for three mana that you can keep rezzing for more floating AND THEN an X-cost burner.
Genius.
I say Red Sun's Zenith over Devil's Play every day.

I love innovative Infis so much.
Check out my Purple Burn with MetalKraft deck, which features a lovely infinite ending with storming Rapeshot (grapeshot).
